DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--3650 REIT (“3650”), a balance-sheet lender focused on creating long-term relationships by originating, servicing and asset managing long- and short-term fixed-rate commercial real estate loans through maturity, is pleased to announce that commercial real estate finance veteran Bobby Geary has joined the firm as Managing Director and Head of Southwest Region. In this role, Mr. Geary will lead 3650’s new Dallas office, which will serve as the cornerstone of the firm’s operations across the Southwest. He will report directly to Ken Dickey, Managing Partner and Head of Fixed Rate Lending.
“Bobby is a proven talent with vast origination experience, a strong real estate background and deep local market relationships—all of which will serve us well as we grow our presence in the Southwest,” said Dickey. “We are excited to welcome him to the growing 3650 team and look forward to capitalizing on the many opportunities we’ve identified throughout the Southwest.”
Mr. Geary brings to 3650 approximately 20 years of experience, an intimate understanding of real estate markets, longstanding industry relationships and a track record of exceptional performance. Throughout the course of his distinguished career, Mr. Geary has originated more than $10 billion in loans across the United States, Europe and the Middle East. At 3650, Mr. Geary will leverage the firm’s differentiated lending process, national scale and vertically integrated platform to deliver tailored financing solutions, high-touch service and customer-focused outcomes across the Southwest.
Mr. Geary will work in close collaboration with 3650’s offices in Miami, New York, Chicago and Los Angeles to advance the firm’s strategic priorities. With in-house origination, servicing and asset-management capabilities, 3650 has been custom-built to ensure borrowers deal with a single point of contact throughout the lifecycle of their loan. This highly differentiated approach ensures an intimate knowledge of the asset and creates a close alignment of interests.
“The platform that 3650 has built is differentiated in its simplicity,” said Geary. “We have the ability to make a loan, retain control over all credit decisions and manage the loan through its maturity. Unlike conduit lenders who make loans based on B-piece buyers’ needs to then quickly sell them, 3650 offers a product that allows originators to structure capital solutions creatively.”
“As a graduate of Southern Methodist University, I know how important the Southwest U.S. is to the growth of the 3650 platform,” said Managing Partner and Co-Founder Toby Cobb. “I couldn’t be more excited to have a commercial real estate finance veteran like Bobby join us in Dallas.”
Before joining 3650, Mr. Geary served as Director at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Prior to that, he held positions at Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse. In these roles, Mr. Geary honed his skills across multiple debt, equity and servicing disciplines, providing him with an understanding of the borrower’s perspective and how to properly identify, assess and mitigate risk. Mr. Geary holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Finance from the University of Boulder.
