He has closed upwards of $15 billion in loans over the course of his career and of the nearly $1 billion in loans he closed in 2021, 95% were for naturally occurring affordable housing.
Anthony has assisted in developing agency social impact programs, including Fannie Mae’s Sponsor Initiated Affordability (SIA) program where his team closed the first ever Fannie Mae loan under this new program. He also took part in the development of Freddie Mac’s Social Impact and Master Financing Commitment and its Tenant Advancement Commitment, a program offering favorable pricing and credit terms for borrowers who agree to create or preserve affordable rent levels on a portion of units at a property over the term of the loan. One of Anthony’s Sponsors was named Freddie Mac’s Inaugural Impact Sponsor of the Year.
