Fernando and Leanne are Amazing

Fernando and Leanne are amazing. I had many small businesses that need refinancing over the years. I have met many Brokers and there is always a catch. ALWAYS!… Use them! Once you do you will work with them forever

She Took Care of All My Needs

If you searching for a great experience Commercial Loan Direct is the place. Leanne took care of me and honestly had the greatest experience. She handled all of my needs in a smooth and timely manner listened and addressed any concerns I had about the process and was very patient. I can be quite a handful at times and Leanne was so professional and kind hearted. I'd 100% recommend this company. Thank you again.

Commercial Loan Direct Streamlined the Whole Process

We were in unfamiliar territory when it came to refinancing. Commercial Loan Direct streamlined the whole process for us. Leann connected us with lenders that were the right fit for us. The money and time we saved was so worth it. I highly recommend them
