Northmarq adds industry veterans Jamie Butler and Jason McFadden to strengthen Debt and Equity platform

WASHINGTON D.C. (March 24, 2026) — Northmarq welcomes Jamie Butler as managing director and Jason McFadden as senior vice president to its Washington, D.C., Debt and Equity team, expanding the firm’s ability to deliver comprehensive capital solutions to commercial real estate (CRE) developers and owners nationwide.

Prior to joining Northmarq, Butler led capital markets teams at Walker & Dunlop and CBRE. With more than 20 years of experience, Butler has arranged financing for CRE transactions totaling more than $15 billion and has consistently ranked among the top producers in the Mid-Atlantic region.

“Northmarq’s momentum in the capital markets space is clear,” said Butler. “The firm has built a premium brand with deep relationships across the capital stack and a collaborative platform that allows producers to deliver real value to clients. I’m excited to be part of the next phase of that growth.”

Butler will lead a team focused on providing comprehensive solutions across the capital stack, including joint venture equity, mezzanine and bridge capital, as well as permanent financing. 

Joining Butler is McFadden, who has helped close more than $4.9 billion in debt and equity financing over the past seven years. Prior to Northmarq, he spent more than 12 years at Walker & Dunlop, most recently serving as senior director on the firm’s Debt & Equity Structured Finance team. 

“Northmarq continues to invest in the people and capabilities that allow us to serve clients at the highest level,” said Jeff Erxleben, Northmarq’s president of Capital Markets.“ Jamie and Jason add tremendous depth to our platform and reflect our broader strategy of building a national team with the expertise and relationships to execute complex capital solutions in any market environment.”
