We Clearly Understand Real Estate Investing, Because We are Investors, Ourselves.

The inception of my company was founded in 1990, initially with my late brother, in Cleveland, OH.
Yes, that's me sporting a shaved bald head, by choice, and beard, back around 1993.
After being trained as a Mortgage Loan Broker, my career took an unexpected turn after my first loan closing—a commercial multi-family development loan. That experience changed my path, and I never looked back. While my lending services expanded to cover a variety of business and real estate loans, it ultimately led me to specialize as an SBA Loan Expert and Direct Private Lender.

CREI Funding traces its roots to the early 1990s, when its founder began originating and structuring real estate loans for residential and commercial investors. After building experience across multiple markets, CREI Funding was formally established and registered in Georgia, where the firm is headquartered today.
Since then, CREI Funding has worked with investors and developers across the United States, supporting transactions ranging from single-family renovations to large-scale commercial and development projects.
