Rising interest rates are putting a crimp in commercial real estate finance, especially as valuations become less clear to underwriters.

While few are expecting the dearth of liquidity seen during the Great Recession, deals are undoubtedly getting harder to negotiate for borrowers, some of whom may not be able to refinance at all depending on how high rates go.

Both lenders and arrangers of debt and equity transactions in the industry are figuring out how to successfully navigate this environment. These finance professionals are utilizing their skills and industry knowledge to carry them through these tough moments. Such accomplished professionals are not only familiar with the nuances of the markets, but they also have the capacity to drive a sophisticated deal across the finish line.
