Roberto Pesant, senior managing director, investment sales, Berkadia
MIAMI—Berkadia reports that Roberto Pesant, a managing director at Walker & Dunlop's Miami office, has joined the firm as senior managing director, investment sales.
Pesant, who has 15 years commercial real estate experience, will be based in Berkadia's Miami and Boca Raton offices. He has completed more than $2.5 billion in sales volume and the development of over 3 million square feet of property over the course of his career.
"Roberto's outstanding track record and approach to client service make him an excellent fit for our growing South Florida investment sales team," says Keith Misner, Berkadia's head of investment sales. "He brings a comprehensive understanding of the South Florida market and is highly respected by clients and peers alike as an investment advisor."
Prior to joining Berkadia, Pesant served as managing director in Walker & Dunlop's Miami office, where he specialized in the sale of multifamily assets and land, as well as raising joint venture equity for developments. He has been awarded Costar Power Broker for each of the last three years. Previously, Pesant was the director of acquisitions & development at Codina Partners.
