Have done many projects with them. Adam has been helpful in getting great terms. One of the overall strongest HMLs around imo.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly Recommended – Tim Is the Real Deal! Working with Tim and his lending company has been one of the best experiences I’ve had in real estate. From start to finish, Tim was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping us succeed. He communicates clearly, moves quickly, and always follows through on what he promises, which is rare in this business. Tim even helped me out of a bind when another company screwed me over the week of a closing. I called Tim and he was able to step in, took over of the situation, and made sure everything stayed on track. That alone speaks volumes about his character and his commitment to his clients. What I appreciate most is that Tim doesn’t just provide financing… he provides solutions. He understands the investment side, he understands timelines, and he goes above and beyond to make sure the numbers work. Whether you’re a first-time investor or experienced in real estate, Tim makes the process smooth, transparent, and stress-free. If you’re looking for a lender who is trustworthy, responsive, and truly cares about their clients, Tim is your guy. I can’t recommend him enough.

Israel is just super easy to talk to, low pressure, extremely knowledgeable and always willing to help. He feels like he's on my team and truly wants to help how he can.

Impressive work! Great for dscr, investment, refinance, you name it. Certain seems to have cracked the code other lenders have trouble with in regards to balance of technology and customer service. I'll be back! 👏🏻

Working with Certain Lending was a pleasure. As a home builder and land developer lending isn’t always easy or efficient. Working with Pepe and his team made the process go so smooth. They are so efficient and answer any questions or concerns right away. Their document portal was easy to navigate which helped keep track of what was still needed to close the loan. I couldn’t recommend Certain Lending any more to someone needing construction financing. Sincerely Joe S. Skyline Development LLC
