Founded in 1992 by Jim Murnane, Pinnacle Mortgage Company (PMC) is a full service commercial mortgage banking firm.  PMC is a Direct Private Lender for hard money/asset based loans for Texas commercial and investment real estate. The company  has funded over $120MM since inception.  PMC also acts as an intermediary in arranging debt and/or equity for all types of real estate across the United States.  Over the past 20 years PMC has arranged financing/debt for almost $800MM with the majority of the transactions being less than $3MM.

Pinnacle Mortgage Company is a private commercial real estate lender based in Houston, Texas specializing in small balance commercial real estate loans.  When the company was founded in 1992, its original focus was as an intermediary in arranging debt and/or equity for all types of real estate across the United States.  Loans are funded through various sources including large money center banks, life insurance companies, FNMA, mortgage conduits, and Federal credit unions.  Pinnacle soon realized there was a need in the real estate community for alternative financing solutions for borrowers who might not otherwise qualify for typical bank, mortgage conduits, or life insurance company financing.  Pinnacle Mortgage Company made its first hard money in late 1992 and has grown its portfolio every year since inception.

Pinnacle Mortgage Company is a respected and serious participant in a unique commercial lending market.  We provide quality service and expedient loan closings using a common sense approach to underwriting.  We structure our private money loans to meet the specific needs of our borrowers with efficiency in execution.

We pride ourselves on building long term, ongoing relationships with our clients by using our ability to be flexible and creative when underwriting and processing commercial loan requests.  Our ability to act as an intermediary to the capital markets and serve as a direct hard money lender enables us to provide the best possible financing solution for our clients.
