Robert Sheppard

A nationally recognized expert in the affordable housing industry, Robert has spent over 35 years innovating in capital markets, brokerage, and forecasting industry trends. He is an industry pioneer in the valuation, sales, and financing of Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) properties and has overseen over $35 billion in real estate transactions. Today, Robert is catalyzing new sources of capital to address a unique challenge presented by the ageing affordable housing stock. By maintaining income restrictions on affordable multifamily properties that are at the end of their mandated affordable period and recapitalizing in a method that strives to achieve carbon neutrality, he is working to counter negative impact of a declining affordablehousing stock and accelerate the decarbonization of existing multifamily.
