CBRE Names Kelli Carhart Head of Multifamily Capital Markets

Carhart spent 17 years at Freddie Mac where she was vice president of Multifamily Production and Sales.

CBRE has appointed Kelli Carhart as executive managing director and leader of Multifamily Capital Markets for the US. She succeeds Brian McAuliffe, who after ten years leading CBRE’s multifamily practice has transitioned into a national production role as a vice chairman, focused on special multifamily assignments.

Based in Austin, Texas, Carhart joined CBRE in January 2021 and was most recently Head of Multifamily Debt Production. Prior to joining the firm, she spent 17 years at Freddie Mac where she was vice president of Multifamily Production and Sales, overseeing over $30 billion of annual volume across 26 states.

Carhart will oversee CBRE’s multifamily business across five regions, working with the leaders appointed for each geography—Eli Hanacek (Northwest), Asher Gunter (Southwest), Danny Baker (Central) and Shea Campbell (Southeast). A leader for the Northeast region will be announced in the coming weeks.
