Business Details
We have been serving Virginia borrowers for over 40 years since our founding by Robert K. Harwood, a former Air Force pilot with aerospace and real estate expertise. Our firm operates as a licensed mortgage lender and private portfolio lender in the Commonwealth of Virginia. We specialize in direct lending for business, commercial, and short-term residential loans secured by Virginia real estate equity. Our underwriting adheres to a conservative loan-to-value ratio between 70% and 80% to ensure responsible lending. We offer competitive rates that are substantially lower than typical hard-money lenders while providing faster settlement than conventional banks.
Our construction loans feature draw-schedule disbursements where interest accrues only on advanced funds. We eliminate pre-payment penalties and junk fees, ensuring transparent cost structures for every client. Our licensed loan originator, Kevin Lonergan, works alongside on-site real estate agents to streamline the approval process. We do not require formal appraisals for approval decisions, allowing us to close quickly when time is critical. Our commitment to client satisfaction drives us to tailor loan terms to each unique investment or building scenario. We maintain full regulatory compliance as evidenced by our NMLS ID #395676 and Virginia licensing.
