Hello Brian, initially I went on to your website looking to add to my commercial hard money lender database. As you know many hard money lenders have gone belly up and closed up shop over the last few years so I am scrubbing my existing list as I do twice a year. The more I went through your site the more intrigued I became on your company's unique style of branding. The animated characters you utilize to speak about your programs, FAQS, etc. is absolutely brilliant.

Hello Brian,

I just wanted to drop few good words about my latest experience with Athas Capital.

I recently purchased a home in San Francisco; my agent referred me to Marc Noddle who helped us in the process. Our timing was extremely tight, my financial situation was difficult, and it was important for me to get the house for my family.

Marc Noddle listen very well to my needs, he made sure my paperwork is filled in timely matter, he gave me clear instructions of what to do, he was accessible, via E-mail and phone. Your organization is lucky to have him.

If you have any questions please call me or e-mail me anytime.

Awadalla

Thanks for the work on the loan Yvonne (& John). Athas delivered a loan at workable (and affordable) terms. Daisy chains are one thing that we at Winchester McGee avoid with private money loans since that drives the costs too high for the borrower. I do appreciate that Athas solved that problem and the LOI was followed through without major changes. We do not broker a lot of loans like this but will keep in touch with you for the next one.

Brian,

Thanks for all your help with my recent transaction. You all were very professional and helpful as we were very limited in the amount of time we had to fund this file. I greatly appreciate what you called "a fire drill" to get this loan closed and know the borrower is grateful for helping avoid further issues with his property.

I will recommend and use Athas Capital again. Thank you to John, Kevin and Yvonne as well.

Hi Ken:
Thank you for the efficiency with which you and your support team handled this deal. I have been actively involved in the real estate business for more than 30 years – as an attorney for over 20 years. You are by far the “straightest shooter” I have met during that time. You did what you said what you would do with an unusual deal, and did it with amazing speed and efficiency. Among your California team, Yvonne Runyan was especially impressive.
I definitely recommend Athas Capital Group as the number-one choice for private mortgage loans.
Best regards and thank you,

Hi Kevin, It has been a crazy week. I am sorry I did not get back to you soon.

Thank you and Yvonne for such a smooth professional transaction. In my book, there is no other place to look when I have customers in need of Private Money. Your services are fast and communication is excellent. Most of all, the deal went down just as it was presented to me and the buyer. No hassles and no surprises.

I did not expect the great service I received from your team. After walking me through the submission I received an answer in 1 hour.

Thank you very much for your help on this bridge loan. I like your company's clear rate sheets upfront, and good service, especially your loan processer, Yvonnye, who took extra mile to answer all my question and work out diligently to get payoff statement revised several times.
Kevin, I appreciate your sincere and quick response. I would recommend any one who needs this type of loan to you. You are one of the most professional loan officers I have been working with.
Thank you Kevin. Thank you Yvonne!

Athas Capital is by far the best lender I have ever worked with. In these turbulent times in the loan industry, it was very comforting to work with a lender who worked as an extension of my office and got the job done. Their attention to detail and follow up was unparallel to others. Bottom line my deal was promised to be closed in two weeks and it was with a day to spare. Thank you Athas Capital!

Hi Brian,

I just wanted to take a moment and send you feedback on my experience with your group, as I just closed my first loan with your company. I have to be honest, when I initially started the process, I was a bit uneasy and confused over alot of things that were initially requested, (like the deed), but I got all the required information for the initial underwriting approval and we got the ball rolling. It was a very nice deal of 47% LTV, with a very strong client. Even after the initial approval, I was not 100% sure I was going to keep the loan with Athas, based on how I had to obtain my fees, and a couple of other things. That is when I had the absolutely, wonderfull experience of working with Yvonne Runyan. When I began working solely with her, I began to feel like I was working with a true Professional. I have been in the financing arena for over 15 years, and between corporate america and my personal businesses, I have worked with and managed hundreds of people, (probably more like thousands) and very, very seldom have I have the pleasure to work with someone as stellar as Yvonne. From her guidance, help with all the loan issues, timely response to all correspondance, she made the process of getting the deal done, a truely great experience. I never once felt like she was not 100% on top of everything, and that we would not get the job done. I even had one of my private lenders come to me with a better proposal than Athas had, (which I would have made 2 more points on for myself, since he only wanted 2pts for himself and Athas was charging 4pts), but because of my experience with Yvonne, I kept the loan at Athas and completed the process. How many people do you know, that would pass up 5k extra solely because of the individual they were working with. Well, Here is one person who did. With that said, and not to ramble on, I just wanted to let you know how great of an employee you have there in Yvonne, and because of her, and her efforts, I had a tremendous experience with Athas Capital, and look forward to doing much more business in the future. If you have any sort of employee recognition for their efforts, please put Yvonne at the top of that list, as she deserves it. Thanks....

I have been in this business for over 10 years and have heard a lot of lenders make promises to get your business but then don’t deliver. That was not the case with Brian and Yvonne at Athas Capital. When I emailed Brian about my commercial loan he looked over the 1003, told me his terms and that he would close the loan, 35 days later the deal was closed. It was a pleasure to work with Yvonne and Brian truly professionals from top to bottom. If you need a commercial deal done and it makes sense, they will get it closed.

Brian,

I want to thank you for always getting back to me so quickly with my submissions. I just started sending deals your way at the beginning of May and I am totally impressed with how quickly you and Yvonne closed my first 2 deals!

My clients also are very thankful for the speed in closing since both clients were under extreme time pressure. One client had spent 6 months working to close and had 3 extensions on the short sale investment they were buying and you closed both loans in just 2 weeks!

Athas Capital, Brian and Yvonne are true professionals and a breath of fresh air with all the delays and heartbreaks in traditional lending and hard money middlemen. I have been in the business 20 years and we all know how hard it is to close conventional and government loans in this environment. You are my first choice for all my deals.

Thanks a million for the fast closings and fast commissions!

Good Morning Athas Capital Group,

"THESE GUYS FUND NATIONWIDE DOWN TO $100K AND HAVE NO UPFRONT FEES!!!" (what my AE said about them) OMG....THIS IS NOT TRUE....IS IT??? (this is what I said)


I would like to thank you for closing and funding the 2 loans that we had in CT. I just want to say to all the doubters and haters of Athas Capital Group one thing...STOP IT!!! These guys are legit and close LEGITIMATE DEALS!!! Send them quality hard money loans (yes there is such a thing) and you will make money and have your clients happy. Now I will say that their due diligence can be a headache at times, but in this day and age after the financial crisis, what lender's isn't. The key for them as a lender is to plug all the holes in a deal so that when it does hit the secondary market, it doesn't blow up like a grenade and kill our financial system and careers for a second time. These guys care about this stuff, because the principals lend their own capital. As a broker submitting them deals, it is your responsibility to due your own due diligence and underwriting before you send them anything.

I did some research online about them, and read some pretty nasty things that brokers said about them. But there was one difference: the way they defended themselves and had proof to back it up. That is something you don't see on these mortgage blog forums. I have to admit, I was a little scared, but I knew I had a solid deal with a solid borrower, so if these guys were the deal makers my AE said they were, they would close these 2 loans.

Second thing is THEY ARE A REAL LENDER WITH A REAL OFFICE. My office is in Sherman Oaks CA, which is about 10 miles from theirs in Calabasas CA, but our firm is based on Wall Street in NYC, so to be honest, we had never heard of them.

Let me tell you this short story, Brian at Athas had me get some original copies of bank statements from my borrower to clear their worries that the borrower may not have had funds to close. After much wrangling with my submitting agent, she was able to get the borrower to comply. Not one myself to just take someone's word for it, I told Brian, that if I got this document, I would like to deliver it personally, to see if these guys were really legit. This was my first time using them, and I was very unfamiliar with their process as it seemed at times somewhat closed off to me. By my surprise he said, "Come on up, I will see you when you get here..." So when I get there, these guys are in this state of the art facility, with the logo on the walls and take up almost 1/2 of the second floor of a gorgeous building in a very expensive office park. That impressed me, and when I got there, Brian himself took my documents and said he would get back to me in the morning, which he did, clearing my loan for closing and funding. Let me tell you, after the subprime bomb that went off 2 years ago and in the aftermath, this doesn’t happen anymore.

As fate would have it, in a twist of events, the seller of the properties in this transaction did not disclose some pertinent information about the payoffs. Brian, not one to hold in his steam, let off a lil rant, but as their professionalism would have it, they were patient, worked with me on the problem from the seller side, and we got the deal done and funded and yes I have been paid. They also protect your fees on the HUD, so your borrower cannot shaft you at the closing. I would say to any real estate broker worth his salt in the game, to give Athas Capital Group a try. These loans I closed were a combined $275K loan amounts and I’m sure these guys can go much higher than that. Who else is doing these small loan amounts, on mutli-family deals like mine no less and get it funded and DO EVERYTHING THEY SAID THEY WERE GONNA DO if I could deliver their stips???? I Can say, not many. The Excalibur (my company) brand name is known in the Northeast for closing deals and our own rigorous process of due diligence by the agents and loan officers who use us as their facilitator in the industry. As a wholesale and correspondent facilitator for real estate agents and loan officers of primarily a FHA, SBA and Fannie Mae conventional loans, we tend to turn down Hard Money deals due to the sheisters and hucksters that charge exorbitant fees and then disappear never to be seen again. We didn’t want that on our conscious or get sued for liability. But since we have been referred to Athas, these guys have proven that there is at least ONE private money funder in the game that puts the money where the deals are.

Go check them out in the Scotsman Guide, in the back of the Commercial and Residential sections under hard money. You will be glad you did. But I will tell you this, DO NOT SEND THEM A S****Y DEAL though and expect them to fund it, get denied and badmouth them online. Apparently some brokers have gotten into some legal hot water over this and their lawyers are pretty protective of their brand. So save yourself the trouble and due your own due diligence before you send over the deal. Their process may frustrate you at times, but if you know this game, and have quality deals in the hard money sector, you will be pleased and close your deals.

Thanks Brian, Yvonne, and Athas for being people and a company of your word. I don’t get a lot of hard money requests, but when I do, you will be THE ONLY call.

To Whom it May Concern

Re: Refinance of 7798 Foothill Blvd, Tujunga, CA 91042
This note will serve to confirm that I closed a loan with Athas Capital to refinance the above property. The borrower had a middle score of 535 and two mortgage lates. Athas Capital was able to underwrite this loan based on a 50% loan to value and the cash flow generated from the rental income. The fact that the borrower was going to use the bulk of the cash out to pay down his revolving debt was a plus to Athas Capital. The loan closed in 4 weeks. Our processor Yvonne Runyan is very professional and kept me posted as she processed the loan dealing with the borrower directly. This is my first closing with Athas Capital and I look forward to closing many more deals with them.

For any questions, feel free to contact me.

Mr. O’Shaughnessy,

It is with great pleasure that Options 4 you Financial Services Inc. is happy to recommend Athas Capital Group for a quick funding and closing of our loan.

Yvonne Runyan and Mr. O’Shaughnessy were able to complete this transaction in the most expedient way allowable by current regulations.
When the file was first presented to Athas Capital Group our client had a credit score in the low 600’s when the credit was reexamined prior to docs our clients credit score had dropped in excess of 110 points and they were still able to complete the transaction for us and make our client request complete.

Dealing with Athas Capital Group has been an experience that I would recommend to any borrower or mortgage company looking to fund a difficult transaction in a very short period of time

Yours truly

I can't say enough good things about Athas Capital Group. They exceeded my expectation in every way. They also supplied my borrow with the best hard money loan out there especially when it was a 1.5 million dollar loan. The rates and points actually beat some banks. They closed the loan fast and did what they said they were going to do which is hard to find now days.

Thanks Athas I have more loans coming.

Gentlemen,

Just wanted to express my appreciation and admiration for the work you have performed relative to my recent $4,000,000.00 construction completion loan request. It was truly one of the most challenging loan requests that I’ve worked on in my 20 years of being in this business so for your company to hang in there and make this transaction a success it says a lot about your ability and determination as individuals and as a company. I look forward to working with you for many years and funding many transactions with you during that time. Of course, I will venture to say that none of these future transactions will be as difficult as the recent one you just funded!

Best Regards,

Hi Kevin,
I hope all is well. I sent you a message last Thursday to thank you, not sure if you received it. Nevertheless, I would take this opportunity to thank you again. I am very greatly to you and your company for granting me this opportunity to establish myself further and you have been a great person to talk to and work with. Since I do not have to check my e-mails as often as I used to now that our loan agreement is completed, I am now retrieving your e-mail. I will keep in touch, especially if i have any questions. Have a good evening and all the best.
THANK YOU.

Smith, E

Mr. Douglas needed immediate response and only had 30 days to complete requirements for his final settlement of his pending divorce. I call Athas Capital and spoke with Brian and then Kevin O’Shaughnessy and got a quick response of what was needed in order to comply with Mr Douglas' needs. Every approach to Mr. Douglas was professional and courtesy and gave him comfort in his transaction and borrowing private money. Just under 2 weeks he had his documents and the loan was funded and money in his hands. All of his requested transaction went quick. Thank you Athas Capital for completing a promise in a timely manner.


Sincerely,

Lilli,

You have been our saving grace in this long and drawn out process. We are very thankful for you and Athas Capital’s patience and commitment to work this out. Thank you for going way beyond where most Banks, and lenders would most likely would have given up.

Let me know what I can do, as I know we still have a ways to go.”?

Thanks again,

Craig

Dear Brian,

Looking back on our log conversation – exactly two (2) weeks from today, August 28, 2009, I sent you an email asking if you can help my clients who are in a bit of a situation trying to purchase a condo for their daughter.

With your help, the help of your group, Yvonne, and Escrow, my clients signed the documents yesterday…just under 10 working days! I was aware that most hard money lenders are quick in response, but this was one of the quickest turn-around tasks I have ever seen.

Thanks you all for an outstanding job and I look forward to working on another project with you.

Yours truly,

Lou Buenavides

A-Paper parameters make a pretty narrow target with private money never cheap but frequently the only alternate route. That having been said I can tell you based on personal experience that Kevin and Brian O are the way to go and can get the job done.

Damn, if I could only get them to do something about changing their socks or telling some new jokes or something. Oh well, nothing's perfect. Moral of the story is.....their jokes and sox might be old but they sure know how to get your loan funded.

Dear Kevin & Scott:

I am glad that we were able to fund the loan for Our Borrowers without any problem.
All too often in today's rush of doing business, we forget to say "thanks" . But not this time. I believe Athas Capital & staff did a wonderful job, I will do my best to live up to the image you have giving me in meeting any future loans or commercial loans that I might have.

Sincerely
Beatriz Hilario

John,

Thought you'd like to read this. We couldn't have done it without the money from Athas!! Thanks.........Cathy

Re: Successfully Closed Loans
Congratulations


Dear Brian,

I must congratulate you and thank you for the excellent recent closings that we have completed
over the past year or so. The very creative deals that both of our firms put together are complex and frequently fragile. For you and Athas to have achieved such a high batting average is truly remarkable.

One more thing: You have proven yourself to be one of the elite Lenders in terms of your sense of commitment and fidelity to the best interests of your borrowers. Few in this industry have the sense of fiduciary obligation that you do. Your clients have been very well represented.

I’m looking forward to many more years of an outstanding and mutually rewarding relationship.

Cordially,

Paul Elis

I wanted to take a moment and thank Athas for a fantastic job on the Oakland loan we closed with your firm earlier this week. During the loan process, Athas was professional, efficient and communicative, and we got to closing even faster than expected. Perhaps most importantly, Athas showed some real flexibility and willingness to problem-solve when a couple of issues arose during underwriting that had not been predicted. At a time when so many people claim to be lending and are not, it is great to see a lender actually deliver on what they promise. Nicely done.

Brian,
I really appreciate the time and attention you gave my clients and I on the conference call yesterday. It made them feel very comfortable. I must say that your professionalism is a step above many lenders I work with. I hope to send you much more business from The Bowers Group.
I will be working with the Peterson's today to get the LOI executed so we can start satisfying the general conditions.

Thank you.

To Whom It May Concern:

Please take note that I have been working with John Hughes for sometime now on quite a few commercial deals I am coming across. He is very helpful and informative on your programs and guidelines. He seems to always have the answers to the questions I need answered. If he is unsure he will take the time to find out the correct answer.

I Look forward to continuing to work with john and wish that more of my account executives were like him.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for your help. I'm glad we've finally closed - it has been a learning experience for me as well. Please know that Kevin and Dieter did a good job on a fairly complex transaction. I hope to discuss doing business as an investor rather than a borrower sometime in the not too distant future. I'm finishing the second home now and will keep you posted.

Best regards,

Gary Hawes

Dieter,

Yes, it has been wild. Thanks for all your help, it is much appreciated. I'll tell Brian and Kevin you provided excellent service throughout.

Regards,

My name is Ha Sylvia Vo, from S & K Commercial Financing; I’ve been working with Donna Myers at Athas Capital Group for several months now. Donna Myers has offered excellent service and the staffs when you called in are very helpful and informative. Donna Myers helped me follow up with my clients and her consistently and persistently follow up to make sure all the documents are send in a timely matter. She knows and understand her product, understand the need for urgency, offered customer service that rarely, you’ll have with other AE from other lenders, experienced, and will go extended miles to make both the broker and client happy.

I recommend Athas Capital Group and its AE, Donna Myers to any broker.

"Without Mr. Kevin Tucker, I may not have chosen Athas Capital Group. However, his professional approach and his confidence provided me with trust from the first quick conversation. I decided to give Athas Capital a try, and I am glad I did. The loan was approved, it was so amazing to pass through the first most difficult step.

During the process, Yvonne, the processor has been very helpful, responsive and knowledgeable. However, when it came time to close I was a bit confused of the whole process. If it were not for Mr. Kevin O'Shaughnessy walking me through the process with subtle and relaxing voice and the explanations he provided made the difference. It helped me to understand the deal in its entirety. Someone asked me if Athas is the "Fast Closing" company, my answer was "I choose Quality over Speed".

Athas gets it right, skillful team who performs complex financial practices with professionalism and integrity."
