Melissa Lofing is a financial visionary who co-leads the Financial Reporting Practice at Apprise by Walker & Dunlop. With 26 years of experience, including 15 years at KPMG, Lofing manages technically rigorous valuation engagements for REITs and global lending institutions.

She is renowned for her methodological rigor; she once turned the discovery of a legacy math error into a firmwide case study on transparency. Over the past 12 months, her team has executed large-scale annual appraisal programs and complex net asset valuation assignments that enabled timely SEC filings.

Lofing is also a champion for professional diversity, actively mentoring early-career professionals in a field where women remain underrepresented. Her ability to deliver audit-ready workpapers and standardized data roll-ups has modernized the valuation process, making her a trusted advisor to CFOs and audit committees navigating today’s complex regulatory landscape.
