About
After practicing law in New York City for the better part of a decade, Mr. Kaplan decided that his knowledge and skill set could be optimized working in a real estate brokerage capacity. When Mr. Kaplan initially left the law, he did so to take a position as a commercial real estate broker with Cushman & Wakefield where he was involved in sales and leasing transactions in excess of $500 Million. When he and his family relocated to Long Island, he moved to Keller Williams where he could add residential properties into his repertoire. Mr. Kaplan eventually expanded into the world of commercial mortgage brokerage assisting Owner/Operators with a multitude of financing requirements.
Mr. Kaplan met Mr. Hennessy while both were working at GCP Capital Group. At GCP, Mr. Kaplan was a Managing Director originating and facilitating Billions of dollars in commercial real estate transactions across construction, re-positioning and stabilized/permanent financing facilities.
Mr. Hennessy & Mr. Kaplan leveraged their industry relationships and expertise to form Scouter Capital in May 2024. Since its inception, Scouter has successfully brokered debt financing transactions in New York City, Long Island, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland, and Colorado.
