I’ve worked in commercial banking for 25 years. I refer all my clients to Austin and don’t think about it again because he gets the job done. He is the best at what he does. He has product knowledge and a strong work ethic. He also has the highest level of integrity.

Austin at Black Swan helped me close a deal that another lender almost lost for me. Read on if relatable. Austin saved a fix and flip for me. I had a different lender at first (before I met Austin), and everything was good. Credit, funds, paperwork were all good. That is until interest rates dropped .50 and they got really busy with refinance loans. Weeks went by and all communication had stopped without reason or notice. I gather the low hanging fruit of refinances trumped my commercial loan. I was staring at losing a lucrative purchase because the first lender had used nearly all of the 90 days that I had in my purchase contract before ghosting me. I was given Austins number and he save the deal with only 10 days to go. He talked me to me almost everyday, which to meant as much as anything other part after going through my first experience. He presented multiple deals and explained the pros and cons of each. When we landed on the deal that was the best fit he walked me through it and stayed in contact with the lender, making sure they knew that time was of the essence. The seller had to close on their new home or lose it, thus all the pressure to get the deal done. If they lost their deal, I lost mine. Austin made sure that did not happen. I would go on but that's the main part of it. He is by far the best, especially if you are not used to using outside money like me. He made my deal possible. Thank you for reading. Best of luck to you. Robert Epps

Working with Austin has been nothing but amazing. Very knowledgeable guy, he has walked me through the entire loan process very thoroughly and is very quick to respond. Any questions I may have even after closing. I highly recommend him to any investor out there looking to start building or flipping homes with hard money, can’t recommend Austin enough.

Working with Austin on his loans has been an excellent experience. We have closed several of his loans, and each time, he has been on the ball! Terrific at communicating between all parties, intelligent, and very efficient at his craft.
