We just closed on a short-term loan with Hard Money Bankers. Dave at Hard Money Bankers was our main contact, and he was excellent. He and his team were quick and responsive from start to finish. We had a great experience working with HMB's team and will refer them to our clients. Thank you, HMB!!

Interesting experience. I contacted their company to acquire cash to perform some maintenance to my property. Dave responded to my inquiry and asked questions about my credit, experience etc etc…He then mentioned they needed to be in 1st position etc etc...He then said, “I charge $10k on the front of the loan. Idk if that would turn you off or not”. I don’t remember how the conversation ended but I initially agreed to pay… But, when I reflected on the terms. I realized that Dave responded to my inquiry, discovered I was black, sought for a reason to deny my loan, but when he couldn’t he tried tax me an additional $10k. I had my white female friend call him a week later. He was friendly…. Willing to issue the loan. No mention on the 10k.. Same cycle for my white male friend. Idk it seems like covert discrimination to me….

Dave Bauer went above and beyond when an investor’s loan with another lender began to fall apart 24 hours prior to scheduled closing. Despite traveling, Dave pulled everything together. He immediately provided a pre-approval with close date within 48 hours of our previously scheduled closing for the listing agent and brought a sense of “calm” to all parties involved. This last minute emergency was handled without any issues and we closed that week. Thank you for coming to the rescue, Dave!!! Sharon Furry Realtor, Berkshire Hathaway Homesale Services

Dave with Hard Money Bankers made it extremely easy for my client to get his loan quick and seamlessly. He helped educate my buyer to the process of hard money lending and followed up with them from beginning to end. He was not only able to communicate well with me as the agent but he had exceptional follow up with everyone involved in our transaction bringing piece of mind to all. We are now onto the next project and HMB is the clear choice now and in our future.

We have used Hard Money Bankers for several real estate purchases. In each transaction, I found them to be competitively priced with a very high level of customer service. They understood the importance of meeting the transaction deadlines and they listened to my specific transactional needs. I highly recommend them.
