CHICAGO, ILLINOIS— Essex Capital Markets, a Chicago-based Mortgage Brokerage firm, has promoted the team of Quinn Keenan and Asher Motew to Director. The two will continue to work alongside the company’s Managing Director, Elliott Quigley, who has more than 40 years of experience in the financial services industry.
As one of the firm’s original team members, Quinn Keenan has been instrumental in the growth of Essex Capital Markets and has contributed to over $125 million in transaction volume—both by leading his own assignments and supporting a variety of closings, including acquisitions, refinances, and construction takeouts. He works closely with clients and lenders to identify the right capital structure for each transaction and remains actively involved throughout the closing process. Known for his hands-on, detail-oriented approach, Quinn emphasizes execution, client service, and lender relationship management. At ECM, he arranges financing across all commercial real estate asset classes, with a focus on multifamily and mixed-use properties. Prior to Essex, Quinn was a financial analyst at Supera Asset Management.
Motew joined the company in early 2025 and concentrates primarily on financing across all asset classes, with a specialization in multifamily transactions. Prior to joining Essex, he was a Financial Analyst at JLL before transitioning to Waterton Residential, where he supported capital markets, acquisitions, and investor relations initiatives.
“I’m excited for both Quinn and Asher,” remarked Elliott Quigley, Managing Director at the Essex Capital Markets. “They are more than ready to step up and take on this next challenge. Quinn has been a steady presence and a key part of our company’s growth. Asher has made an outsized impact in his first few months, and I’m confident that they will both be a huge part of our future success.”
The pair will continue to specialize in providing financing solutions for mid-market multifamily investors.
