Berkadia announced today it has appointed Scott Wadler as Managing Director. Wadler, who brings over a decade of expertise in debt and equity placement across all product types, will be based in the firm’s Miami office.

This is Berkadia’s fifth high-level appointment in Florida over the past five months. Earlier this summer, Jaret Turkell and Roberto Pesant were appointed to co-lead Berkadia’s South Florida Investment Sales team. Michael Weinberg and Rebecca Van Reken, two top debt and equity producers, were named Managing Directors of Berkadia’s Orlando office in September.   

“Wadler brings an added dimension of expertise that will expand Berkadia’s ability to serve clients throughout the Southeast,” said Mitch Sinberg, Senior Managing Director and co-leader of Berkadia Florida. “His experience will complement the team dynamic in Miami, and we look forward to his continued success.”

“In addition to being an established leader nationwide in mortgage banking, Berkadia is rapidly growing and diversifying its capital markets platform throughout Florida,” said Wadler. “I’m excited to bring my expertise to bear in helping them expand and further diversify across asset classes, markets and relationships.”

Prior to joining Berkadia, Wadler spent over ten years at HFF, most recently as a Senior Director of HFF’s Miami office, where he formed a niche expertise handling construction financing, hospitality and residential transactions throughout the southeast. He also previously held positions at Related Group Florida and Fortune International Realty.

Wadler earned his Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Miami.
