Long-Standing Relationships
A significant portion of our business comes from repeat customers with whom we have long-standing relationships. These customers are also a key referral source for prospective borrowers. As these customers remain active real estate investors, they provide us with a competitive advantage in securing new business and helping maintain a pipeline of attractive new opportunities. Building strong relationships with our borrowers gives us a first look at any potential lending opportunity.
Market
Knowledge
Our intimate knowledge of the Eastern Seaboard of the United States real estate market enhances our ability to identify attractive opportunities and helps distinguish us from many of our competitors.
Disciplined
Lending
We seek to maximize our risk-adjusted returns – and preserve and protect capital – through our disciplined asset-based approach. We utilize rigorous underwriting and loan closing procedures that include numerous checks and balances to evaluate the risks and merits of each potential transaction. We seek to protect and preserve capital by carefully evaluating the condition of the property, the location of the property, the value of the property, and the other forms of collateral inherent in the transaction. We often request additional real estate collateral to strengthen our loan-to-value position.

Structuring
Flexibility
As a non-bank real estate lender, we move quickly and have much more flexibility than traditional lenders to structure loans that suit the dynamic needs of our clients. Our ability to quickly customize financing structures to meet borrowers’ needs is one of our business strengths. At the end of the day, we are opportunistic lenders who partner with our clients to drive the commercial results they both desire and require.
