HB Capital has been recognized by Real Estate Business Review Magazine as the exclusive recipient of “Top Capital Advisory Firm 2025,” based on our proprietary methodology, reflecting its position in the industry, and is also named among “,” reflecting its broader leadership.

Hannah Hammond, Founder and CEOIn a world where real estate investors and developers often find themselves navigating a fragmented, relationship-starved lending landscape, HB Capital is doing something different, and it shows. Founded in 2024 by Hannah Hammond after a decade in commercial real estate brokerage, HB Capital was built from the ground up with one purpose: to be the best available capital partner for real estate investors and developers nationwide.
This isn’t just another advisory firm. It’s a movement reshaping how commercial real estate gets financed.
A Platform Built by an Investor, for Investors
What sets HB Capital apart from traditional capital advisory firms starts with its origins. Hannah Hammond didn’t come from a banking background or a corporate lending institution. She came from the trenches of commercial real estate. That operator’s mindset is embedded in everything HB Capital does. The firm understands that clients aren’t just looking for a loan; they’re looking for a partner who genuinely understands the complexity of their deal, the urgency of their timeline, and the weight of what’s at stake.
With nearly 100 years of combined experience across its team, HB Capital brings institutional-grade expertise to every engagement while delivering it with the responsiveness and personal attention of a boutique firm.
Core Services: Debt & Equity Advisory Done Right
At the heart of HB Capital’s offering is its Debt & Equity Placement service, a comprehensive capital advisory solution that covers the full spectrum of real estate financing needs. Whether a client is pursuing a ground-up construction loan, a bridge to stabilization, a cash-out refinance, or a permanent financing solution, HB Capital structures the right capital stack and brings it to the right sources.
The firm works across deal sizes ranging from $1 million to over $1 billion, meaning no project is too small to receive elite service and no deal is too large to take on. Clients can access a wide range of capital structures including bridge loans, construction and development financing, stabilized permanent financing, JV equity and preferred equity, mezzanine financing, and CMBS through debt funds.
What makes this service particularly valuable is HB Capital’s network of nearly 10,000 capital sources powered by AI and technology to identify the best debt and equity options for every unique deal. This isn’t a Rolodex of general contacts; it’s a carefully cultivated national network of banks, debt funds, family offices, private lenders, life insurance companies, and institutional investors, paired with direct access to decision-makers and zero corporate runaround.
Every Asset Class. Every Market.
Real estate is not a monolithic asset class, and HB Capital’s capabilities reflect that reality. The firm serves clients across virtually every property type, including conventional multifamily, affordable housing, student housing, seniors housing and healthcare, built-for-rent and single-family rental communities, manufactured housing, mixed-use, industrial, self-storage, retail, hospitality, office, data centers, and land.
This breadth of specialization means clients don’t need to shop multiple advisors depending on their portfolio composition. HB Capital is a single, trusted platform that understands the distinct capital requirements, risk profiles, and market dynamics of each asset class and structures solutions accordingly.
Who HB Capital Serves
HB Capital’s client base is as diverse as the deals it finances. The firm partners with seasoned real estate investors and developers, private equity real estate firms, family offices and syndicators, 1031 exchange buyers, and brokers and intermediaries looking for a capital partner they can rely on to deliver. Regardless of the client profile, every engagement is treated with the same high-touch, white-glove experience.
Four Promises That Define the Relationship
HB Capital’s value proposition is perhaps best captured in the firm’s four client promises. First, your best interest comes first, always, even when it costs the firm. Second, every engagement is governed by core values: radical transparency, relentless execution, and zero fluff. Third, HB Capital handles the hard stuff, including capital strategy, lender negotiations, timelines, and execution logistics, so clients can stay focused on the deal itself. Fourth, the firm fights relentlessly for the best possible rate and terms, ensuring clients maximize every dollar.
The Technology Edge
Modern capital advisory requires more than relationships; it requires precision. HB Capital leverages AI and technology to scan and analyze nearly 10,000 capital sources, identifying the optimal debt and equity solutions for each specific deal. This technology-driven approach accelerates the placement process, improves pricing outcomes, and gives clients a real competitive edge in a market where speed and certainty of execution can make or break a transaction.
Recognized. Trusted. Growing.
In 2025, HB Capital was recognized as the Top Capital Advisory Firm by an expert panel of C-level executives and industry thought leaders, a testament to the firm’s rapid rise and the trust it has earned among clients and peers alike. Client reviews consistently highlight the team’s responsiveness, transparency, and ability to make complex financing feel seamless.
For real estate investors and developers who are tired of being passed around, underserved, or left without answers when it matters most, HB Capital represents a fundamentally better way to access capital. The firm’s mission is clear: to fund the visions of real estate professionals nationwide with integrity, creativity, and results-driven execution.
Whether you’re scaling a national portfolio or closing your first commercial deal, HB Capital is ready to be the capital partner your vision deserves.
