Loan Brokers
For over 40 years our investment loan brokers have benefited from our upfront fees, prompt payments, and fast closing times.
At Val-Chris, we love our loan brokers. That’s because we both benefit from swift, smooth transactions and happy mutual clients via our broker referral program.
Unlike conventional lenders, we provide unique, customized loan packages to borrowers. Whether the loan is residential, commercial, industrial, or any other type—we can make it work. Using private money allows us to find an arrangement with a borrower that is mutually beneficial for both parties. Because we are a direct lender, we have the opportunity to provide our borrowers with the best terms possible. Learn more about the strengths of our loan broker program below.
Speed of Closing
Our loans close fast, many times in 5 – 14 days. This means less time dealing with problems and red tape.
Upfront Fees & Payment
Give us a call and we’ll let you know all about it. We provide information on our fees prior to docs and our investment loan brokers get paid promptly after recording.
Customized Loan Packages
Borrowers with unique requirements commonly hear “no.” Not with us—we go above and beyond to find solutions.
