About us
BEST Lending Co. was birthed from the irritations spoken by so much of the industry.

Having experienced those changes first hand, the founder of BEST Lending Co created this company to bridge the gap between the veteran boots on the ground and the overly complicated financing currently available for real estate investors.

I am on my 2nd project with Best Lending. I've been very impressed with this team and their eagerness to help me do business. The team members, at every step of the process, go above and beyond to help and get the deal done. I'm looking forward to closing more deals with them as my go-to lender.

Sarah and the team at Best Lending Co were really great to work with. Moved swiftly on my loan package and were super responsive when needed. I was able to close on a time sensitive deal thanks to their efforts. Highly recommend them; especially if you need to close a deal quickly.

Working with Sarah and Danielle on our refinance and hard money loan projects was a genuinely delightful experience. From the start, their team demonstrated a proactive and thorough approach to the entire process. We first connected with BLC about six months ago, and Sarah has been wonderfully attentive ever since, always making us feel supported without being pushy. Danielle has been incredibly collaborative, closely coordinating with our investing team to ensure everything ran smoothly. We truly appreciated the professional and personal touch they brought to our projects!

I've been incredibly pleased with my experience with BEST Lending thus far. I've refinanced a rental with them and have recently closed on two fix and flip loans with them. What has been amazing is their communication and desire to help/get you to where you want to go. Their team has been in the business for some time so they're familiar with how these deals need to look, they can make loan decisions incredibly quickly, and can also close very quickly (just completed a 10 day close with them with no issues). The team is available when you need them and will make sure know what needs to happen throughout all phases of the process. Their rates and terms are very competitive as well. I'll be using them again - and again!

I love this team. Sarah took such great care of me throughout my search for an investment property-essentially educating me on all different types of loan products available and running through scenarios on so many deals for me. Everyone on the team is super communicative, friendly and knowledgeable. They want to make a deal work for you and are committed to making sure the numbers make sense for all parties. This is a boutique lending firm with personalized, top-notch service.

t was really a pleasant experience. I would be more than happy to refer Best Lending to any of my friends in
need. Everything about this company is worthy of the company name. Many thanks to Sarah Hatton, a
professional, efficient, smooth communicator and first time problem solver. Sarah Hatton seems to be
working all the time, no matter when I call or email her, sometimes even at 23:00, she is still the first to help
me with my problem, always patient and professional. Every problem was solved professionally, promptly
and full of surprises. I am willing to buy another investment property if I can continue with Sarah Hatton.

Very impressed by the Best team. Sarah and Danielle were very knowledgeable and helpful while working
with us to close in two weeks. They helped us land a deal that netted over $70K on the flip. They continue to
help us as we're working on closing another deal before the winter.
