Owners Council Q&A: Katie Kurtz

When I joined Denholtz in 2024, gridlocked capital markets and broad uncertainty made transacting difficult. At that time, the industry was waiting for the long-promised rate cuts that would unlock deal flow. Fast forward a year, and we’ve finally received the first of what should be a series of cuts.
