John Caraviello, 29

John Caraviello says that he learned a lot during his three years at Eastdil Secured, but felt that his upward mobility was capped. He became open to finding a new role with greater responsibility and pitched himself to Newmark. Little did he know, he’d be selected to join the high-powered debt and equity brokerage platform led by Jordan Roeschlaub and Jonathan Firestone.

Caraviello came on board an operation that facilitated $40.1 billion of debt between March 2024 and March 2025, a total that doubled its origination volume from the previous 12 months. 

“When I joined Newmark in March 2024, I was thrown right into the fire,” he said. “Literally, the week I joined, we got awarded the opportunity to pitch the [$335 million] refinancing of the Mark Hotel in New York. At Newmark, I was immediately given increased responsibility.”  

Caraviello structures large-scale debt and equity financings across the capital stack, asset classes and almost all geographies. Deals that he’s stamped his name on include $315 million financing for Project Ascend, a national portfolio of 43 self-storage facilities that spans 3.1 million square feet and holds more than 21,300 units. He was also involved in a joint-venture refinancing of self-storage properties between TPG Angelo Gordon and Andover Properties, which required placing $275 million of commercial mortgage-backed securities debt from Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs and a $40 million mezzanine loan from 3650 Capital. 

“What’s crucial is executing on behalf of clients … it’s important to give them accurate guidance,” he said. “You’re only as good as your reputation.”

Speaking of reputation, Caraviello is quick to note that he works directly under Roeschlaub, among the biggest names in CRE capital markets. 

“Working under Jordy, he’s by far the best salesperson in debt brokerage,” said Caraviello. “He knows everyone in the industry and he’s always on top of things.”
