Mr. Seabolt has over 15 years of professional experience. His real estate career began in 2006 after successfully raising capital and launching a real estate investment firm focused on acquiring, repositioning, and disposing of distressed residential assets. As an Adjunct Professor within the graduate school at NYU, Mr. Seabolt co-teaches a course centered on Investing in Distressed Real Estate Situations. In addition to earning an MBA in Finance & Accounting, Mr. Seabolt’s credentials include a Master’s in Real Estate Finance and Investments from NYU where he graduated as a Hirsh Scholar.

Mr. Seabolt launched Clearwater to disrupt the transactional nature of commercial real estate finance, seeking to create a client-first, frictionless, and transparent financing experience for real estate developers, investors, and owners based on his well-established relationships in the capital markets.
