HISTORY
HFF came together in its current form in 1998. But throughout our history, HFF has continued to evolve to meet our clients’ growing needs. This includes the addition of our Investment Banking affiliate, HFF Securities, a new focus on note sale advisory and a quickly-growing servicing business. We will continue to seek out opportunities to better serve all of our clients, both capital users and capital providers.
