Northmarq began in the 1960s as a financing business within a holding company owned by the Hamm Family, and the company later expanded from a small residential mortgage business into a commercial real estate platform. Northmarq now supports debt, equity, investment sales, loan servicing, and fund management across multifamily and other commercial asset types. In recent years, Northmarq expanded its investment sales capabilities through the acquisition of Stan Johnson Company and Four Pillars Capital Markets. The company serves real estate investors, developers, and lenders through a national network of offices and specialized capital markets teams.
