Carlton Fields Expands Commercial Lending Team with Addition of Stephen A. Glatter

Washington, D.C. – Carlton Fields is pleased to announce that attorney Stephen A. Glatter has joined Carlton Fields’ Washington, D.C. office, expanding the firm’s skilled team of lawyers in the Agency and Federal Housing Administration (FHA)-Insured Lending Practice. Glatter is also a member of Carlton Fields’ national Real Estate and Commercial Finance Practice.

“Steve’s deep experience in complex real estate transactions, particularly FHA-insured lending, makes him a perfect addition to our team,” said Gina A. Hough, who leads Carlton Fields’ Agency and FHA-Insured Lending Practice alongside fellow Washington, D.C. Shareholder Samantha T. Schneck. “We are thrilled to add him to our roster offering top-of-the-line service to our lender clients on all Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and FHA financing products.”

Added Schneck, “Steve is a sharp lawyer and a keen problem-solver, and we are pleased to welcome him to Carlton Fields.”

Glatter represents real estate lenders in transactions, primarily multimillion-dollar mortgage loans insured by the FHA. He has closed hundreds of FHA commercial transactions in numerous U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) offices nationwide. Those transactions include federally insured loans for multifamily housing and health care under FHA/HUD programs.

Glatter counsels mortgage servicers on construction servicing issues, post-closing issues, workouts, assignments of non-performing assets to FHA, and interest rate reductions. He also has closed mortgage loans for securitization in capital markets, including loans for the construction and permanent financing of commercial real estate.

“My FHA practice meshes perfectly with the robust real estate lending team at Carlton Fields,” Glatter said. “This is one of a few select firms in the nation that offers the complete spectrum of commercial real estate finance services. I’m happy to be a part of this experienced team.”

Glatter earned his J.D. from George Washington University Law School and his B.A., magna cum laude, from George Washington University.
