BETHESDA, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– As investors, developers, lenders and corporate leaders navigate one of the most consequential periods for housing and commercial real estate in decades, Zelman, a Walker & Dunlop company, today announced the launch of the Zelman Speakers Bureau, providing organizations with direct access to some of the industry’s most respected analysts and thought leaders.

From interest rate volatility and affordability pressures to capital markets, demographic shifts and evolving investment strategies, audiences are looking for more than market commentary. They want informed perspectives from experts who shape industry conversations. Through the Speakers Bureau, conference organizers, corporate boards, trade associations and executive teams can engage Zelman’s nationally recognized experts for keynote presentations, panel discussions, executive briefings and custom workshops.

“Today’s market demands informed views grounded in data, industry relationships and real-world experience,” said Ivy Zelman, EVP and co-founder of Zelman, a Walker & Dunlop Company. “Our team is in constant dialogue with builders, developers, investors and operators across the country, giving us a front-row seat to the trends reshaping housing and commercial real estate. Our Speakers Bureau brings those insights directly to organizations so they can make those strategic decisions.”

Recognized throughout the industry, Zelman’s analysts cover every segment of the housing ecosystem, including homebuilding, multifamily, single-family rentals, manufactured housing, building products, consumer, real estate services and mortgage finance. The Speakers Bureau features several of Zelman’s leading analysts, including Alan Ratner, Ryan McKeveny, McClaran Hayes, Marius Morar, and Jesse Lederman. Collectively, they bring decades of industry experience and are frequent speakers at leading conferences and contributors to national business media, including CNBC, Barron’s and The Wall Street Journal.

Supported by the broader expertise of Walker & Dunlop, one of the nation’s largest commercial real estate finance and advisory firms, speakers can also provide perspective on commercial real estate capital markets, demographics and the broader macroeconomic forces influencing real estate performance.
