Success Stories

"I want to first personally thank you. I “trained” with Cushman & Wakefield for 2 years, and yet 90% of the knowledge I use is from you. I know the main reason C-Loans exists is for business generation, but thank you for sharing your gift of teaching and story-telling. I would be out of business if it wasn’t for Blackburne University."
--Stuart Faass, Five Borough Capital

"I don’t know if you remember me but about 6 months ago I sent you a Thank You for selling me your VHS tape course back in 2003 when I first got into lending business. You and I both had no grey hair back then.  Here we are 15 years later and I am one of the most successful commercial, out of the box, hard money lenders in South Florida. You didn’t know it but I watched your VHS tape at least 10 times and you were my mentor back then. I still use your broker agreement."
--Ron

"I like you Big George III. I find your posts are very useful and entertaining. I bought your VHS tape course back in 2005 when I first got into the commercial end of the mortgage business.

"Alicia and George, As a former banker (20 years and recovering..smile) and a broker who is always looking for attention (smile), I am very impressed by C-Loans.

If you ever need any endorsements, do not hesitate to call."

--Mario C.

"I wanted to let you know that the C-loans system is great. I am sure you know that by now. I am just breaking into the commercial side from residential where I work with real estate investors. I broker a lot of hard money. Naturally investors move up into bigger more commercial properties. This first attempt turned out to be with a borrower who wouldn’t disclose enough t do the loan. He just wasn’t serious, but I was greatly impressed with the response time in which I got answers!! That was amazing how the offers streamed in over the next 24 hours. You’ve got an awesome resource and I’ll be coming to C-loans the first chance I get on the next one!!!"
--Eric B.

"We closed on our loan of $300,000.00 on June 29, 2006 with Sterling Bank. The loan went just as advertised and they were great people to deal with. If it were not for C-Loans I would have never known about this bank, which by the way, was is in our area.  C-Loans does a great service. I would highly recommend C-Loans and have told friends about them. Keep up the good work."
-- Howard D.

"Alicia, my name is Christopher Bell and I’m a Mortgage Broker in Florida.  I just closed my first commercial loan with Integrity Financial Group, I sourced the loan though C-Loans, and it was the most enjoyable experience working with Integrity Financial Group.  My Account reps name was Karla and she was a blessing to work with.  I had this loan on my desk for the last 5 months and thing were looking bleak every other lender just held me up and wasted my time.  I closed my loan on 11/21/06 this loan was closed in 3 weeks. I work with mostly residential loans and I only wish that they went as smooth as this loan, life would be so much easier.  I thank you and your staff for providing such a service, I wish that residential loans had the same service.  When ever I get a commercial loan on my desk I know just were to go."
--Christopher Bell

I have to let you know that, through your wonderful training,  I get nothing but compliments on the packages that I send to Lenders and Banks.  They said they wished everyone sent packages like mine.  I had a heck of a time finding the covers, but finally did.   I have followed your instructions to a T!   My newsletter is working like a charm.  I had 4 replies to my first mailing sent 2 weeks ago and can't wait to send the second.  I have an appointment with a bank for referral loans, an investor of apartment buildings over 5M, a huge property developer, and a guy that converts industrial buildings to lofts!   YOU ROCK! AND I AM ROLLIN!
In greatest appreciation,

"I just want to acknowledge that the C-Loans concept is truly a great thing. I used C-Loans to attempt to help me find a lender, but my deal died because of the principal borrower. The death of my deal had nothing to do with any of the lenders listed on C-Loans. Therefore, I will use the service for my next commercial loan project."
--Larry M.
