Northmarq welcomes Benoit Rochard, senior vice president, to growing Austin team
AUSTIN, Texas (Oct. 24, 2024) — Northmarq is excited to announce the continued expansion of its Multifamily Investment Sales team with the addition of Senior Vice President Benoit Rochard to the Austin office. Rochard will focus on multifamily investment transactions, bringing extensive experience in acquisitions, asset management, financing and investor relations.
“I’ve been very impressed with Northmarq's growth as an investment sales platform,” said Rochard. “That’s why I’m excited to join the Austin team and use my knowledge of multifamily investments and established relationships throughout Texas and beyond to help our clients successfully navigate complex transactions.”
Rochard joins Northmarq with a track record of more than 150 multifamily transactions and approximately $1 billion in raised equity in his previous role with a national multifamily investment firm based in Austin. His experience includes acquisitions, refinances, dispositions and recapitalizations.
Rochard will be part of Northmarq’s already impressive Texas region led by Regional Managing Director Taylor Snoddy with Multifamily Investment Sales in Northmarq’s Dallas office.
With Rochard’s addition to Northmarq’s Multifamily Investment Sales team, Managing Director Scott Lamontagne will begin focusing all his efforts on the rapidly growing National Development Services team. Rochard will lead the Austin Multifamily team with three Austin-based multifamily investment sales brokers reporting to him.
“Northmarq is dedicated to being a top investment sales company nationally and Austin is a major focus for growth for us,” said Snoddy. “The addition of Benoit to the Northmarq team will be a significant advantage for us as we continue to grow our presence in the market.”
Before joining Northmarq, Rochard held leadership roles at a national multifamily investment firm, Sonder and CFH Investment Partners. His extensive career in commercial real estate includes the acquisition of over 26,000 multifamily units.
Rochard holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Texas State University and has been a resident of Texas for over 25 years, giving him deep-rooted expertise in the region's real estate landscape.
