Zack Lofton
Founder & CEO
Our founder and CEO, Zack, has a passion for real estate and uses this to help our borrowers succeed. After a career in corporate commercial lending, he knew there should be an easier, common sense, approach to lending. Having grown up around construction, private lending was a natural fit. Loan Ranger Capital started as a small local lender which lent to a few friends and referrals. With a true entrepreneurial spirit, Loan Ranger Capital has grown significantly over the years while staying true to its roots of always putting its borrowers’ success first. Zack interacts directly with clients on a daily basis and borrowers have direct access to him at all times. When he’s not working, there’s a good chance you’ll find Zack at Zilker Park with his wife (Ali) and two dogs (Tito and Pickles).
