Chappaqua Man to Head New Capital Markets Group for Regional Realty Company

Greiner-Maltz Realty Advisors has just launched a new Capital Markets Group dedicated to helping customers structure and place debt and/or equity related to real estate purchases.

The new division is part of Schanzer’s initiative to expand on the suite of value-added services the firm provides its clients and will be headed up by industry veteran and Chappaqua resident, Robert S. Schneiderman, who has more than 30 years of successful real estate experience under his belt, and will be assisting with Greiner-Maltz’s expansion efforts.

“We set up this new Capital Markets Group in furtherance of our goal to be more than just brokers but rather a full service end-to-end solution to our customers and clients,” Ayall Schanzer, Principal at Greiner-Maltz Realty Advisors, said in a press release. “Because of our unique vantage point with respect to potential transactions, we are well positioned to help our clients get deals done quickly and smoothly by leveraging our relationships and knowledge of the sources of capital that finance real estate deals.”

“I am thrilled to welcome Rob to the Greiner-Maltz team,” Schanzer added. “Rob has an unmatched track-record of success with both major corporate clients and individuals and I am confident that his extensive experience will serve him well as he leads Greiner-Maltz Realty Advisor’s new Capital Markets Group.”

As the Managing Member of Parallel Asset Management LLC, a real estate asset management and advisory operation, which he co-founded in 2000, Schneiderman has devised and executed on debt and equity strategies for commercial real estate assets in excess of $1.2 billion across the country. He was previously a Principal and Chief Credit Officer at Parallel Capital LLC, a private national commercial real estate securitized lender.

“I’m pleased to be adding a capital markets capability to a reputable firm such as Greiner-Maltz – a firm with more than 60 years of experience at the center of the New York metropolitan area commercial real estate market,” Schneiderman said. “We understand that many of the firm’s clients have longstanding relationships with financial institutions, however, we often add value by not only negotiating better rates, but understanding the nuances of various covenants, terms and conditions that could have a significant impact in optimizing the structure of a loan. I look forward to leading the new Capital Markets Group as we continue to expand our reach and range of services.”

Greiner-Maltz’s Rye Brook office is located at 800 Westchester Ave. The firm’s three other offices are located in Plainview, Long Island; Long Island City, Queens; and Moonachie, New Jersey.
