AUSTIN-Jeremy Womack has joined HFF's local office as director. Womack's focus will be on debt placement and equity transactions.

“While HFF has had a transaction presence in the Austin market dating back to 1982, the addition of Jeremy to our team reinforces our mission to grow our debt placement and investment sales teams with the right mix of talent whether it be organically or by external recruiting,” says Doug Opalka, senior managing director and co-head of HFF's Austin office in a press release.  “Jeremy has an incredible work ethic, uncompromising character, and is wired perfectly to fit into our culture of team work and collaboration."

Womack has 10 years of experience in commercial real estate finance and most recently served as an associate with Trinity Real Estate Finance.  He co-founded the Austin office of Trinity in 2006 after working in its San Antonio branch since 2003 as a senior financial analyst.  Prior to that, Womack worked for Ernst & Young.  He received a bachelor's degree from Rutgers University and is on the Management Committee for the Austin Chapter of the Urban Land Institute.
