At Finance Lobby, our mission is to modernize the way the commercial real estate industry operates by providing lenders and brokers with a way to quickly and efficiently find one another. Currently, there is no system in place other than the decades-old methodology of reaching out and inquiring one by one. Mortgage brokers and lenders waste an inordinate amount of time finding their perfect match on a real estate deal and loan. The current processes are outdated, time-consuming, and extremely inefficient.Finance Lobby is bringing the industry into the 21st century, eliminating unnecessary time draws to both the mortgage brokers and lenders. We ensure every stakeholder on our platform can find a transaction that matches their needs. Our revolutionary matching system provides brokers and lenders with the ability to refine their search by enabling them to filter by specific transaction criteria and matching them with only the deals that fit those specifications.
