For over a decade, Crescent Lenders has been providing funding for hard money loans in Orange County and the broader Southern California region.
With some of the industry's most competitive interest rates and lowest fees, coupled with our exceptional service, we strive to deliver an outstanding experience for our borrowers.
In the past 10 years alone, we have successfully funded over $100 million in private money loans for commercial, industrial, and residential properties.
If the fundamental aspects of your project align, we can finance it in as little as 5 to 7 days.
It's important to use a direct hard money lender rather than a broker to ensure borrowers get the best rates.
A broker often adds additional origination points to the fees charged by the hard money lender.
Depending on the loan size, this can result in unnecessary fees amounting to tens of thousands of dollars.
Smart borrowers opt for direct hard money lenders with their own funds and don't need to involve multiple middlemen or deal with excessive financial regulations.
When you work with us, you'll have direct access to a straightforward decision-maker who is transparent and open about the loan situation. They will inform you whether a deal can be completed.
