Hunt Mortgage Group Adds New Director

Hunt Mortgage Group has added Kevin Deegan as director of the firm’s affordable housing/FHA group. He will primarily focus on originating and closing affordable and FHA multifamily loans nationwide, but he will also work with clients using Hunt Mortgage Group’s balance sheet products and agency executions. The company has been sourcing and originating affordable loans since the 1980’s. In a recent deal, Hunt Mortgage Group refinanced a portfolio of five New Jersey multifamily properties for the same sponsors. Deegan will be based in New York and will report to Paul Weissman, senior managing director.

“Kevin is a veteran industry executive with extensive experience in all facets of the affordable housing industry and a solid track record of success. The need for quality affordable housing is strong across the country. We are committed to addressing the shortage of housing resources for our ever-growing population and the increasing interest of its communities to meets these needs,” said Weissman, in prepared remarks.

Deegan will partner with Director Suzanne Cope, who is based in Denver. They will be jointly sourcing, evaluating and closing affordable and market-rate loans.
