Shawn Givens, Jon Faulkenberg and team specialize in loan originations across the country. Our clients are global in reach, stretching from America to Mexico, Canada, England and China, and range in net worth from roughly $1 million up to well over $1 billion. The team, comprised of professionals located in five offices across the country (Cleveland, Kansas City, Saint Louis, Indianapolis and Dallas), has secured more than $8 billion in aggregated debt. We specialize in every asset type and have programs ranging from commercial bank debt to CMBS securitization, CTL, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HUD, preferred equity, construction and mezz financing to name a few.

In 2017, CBRE identified an opportunity to expand its debt & structured finance platform and acquired Capstone Financial, along with its proprietary work-flow technology. Led by Givens and Faulkenberg, Capstone Financial was a national boutique commercial real estate finance and consulting firm in the U.S. This acquisition enhances CBRE’s debt and structured finance service offering nationally while providing additional client service advantages in the Midwest. Clients range from small investors, developers and business owners to professional athletes and global investors.
