Ray Green Companies Testimonials
Rachel Goldberg
"Professional service is the cornerstone of Raymond C. Green, Inc. Having been in commercial real Estate over 25 years I have referred clients to Justin Murphy and Ray Green. Their service and ability to come through on time has been critical for many to complete a transaction which impacts their real estate portfolio. They make quick decisions and implement the loan aware of all issues and the complexity of the deal. They are highly respected and will go the extra mile at all times to provide funding solutions.…"

"Justin and the team at Raymond C. Green provide top notch service in an industry where prompt attention is not only important but necessary to fulfill the needs of their clients. We have contacted them for several different loans with each loan different than the last. They've always been understanding and up front about how they would be able to facilitate. We've worked with other private lenders in the past and we keep coming back because of their ability to understand a project in a timely fashion while maintaining the integrity that is required to make all parties feel at ease."

"We have borrowed capital a number of times from Ray Green for our real estate development projects with great success! They truly understand our business and the needs of a developer. We found them extremely easy to work with, transparent, and true to their word. We consider them a great partner to help grow our business. We look forward to doing our next deal together soon with Justin Murphy and the Ray Green team."

"Having worked with conventional lenders for over 30 years and experiencing the constant frustration of delays and the time lag from application to commitment I had finally had enough and called Justin. I am on my third project with the Raymond Green Company. Ray and Justin are well versed on how important it is to react quickly in today's environment. Time is our most important commodity. Together they have made me feel like a priority and have responded to my every need. It has been a pleasure to deal with such professionals. I look forward to a long relationship with the Raymond Green Company with many more projects to come."
President / Bridgestone Development, Inc.
"My last experience with RC Green, Inc. was my first. It wasn't long before I felt like a valued customer. I was very pleased with my account manager, Justin Murphy. He was always an accessible and well informed professional, answering as many questions as I had. I will say that Raymond C. Green, Inc. met all of my needs fully and without hesitation. It was truly a pleasurable experience."

"We have worked with the Raymond C. Green Company since 2009. Back then we were brand new to real estate investing and they helped us out by funding our 2nd rehab. There were also a couple of times when we needed to close quickly...within 2 weeks....and they came through for us. The people at Raymond C. Green are easy to work with and very professional. I would recommend them to any real estate investor."
North Shore Real Estate Solutions, LLC
"Having financed two real estate development projects with Raymond Green, I can confidently recommend their services. Both transactions went from inquiry to term sheet quickly and efficiently. The closings followed as scheduled and most importantly, without any surprises. "There are many marginal participants in the asset lending market to navigate. I have found Raymond Green to be a direct lender with local decision makers and the quickest, most cost efficient lending route for my projects."

"We have only been dealing with the Raymond C. Green Group over the past several years. We here at ADC anticipate a long term relationship between our companies based upon the service they have provided over the past years. It is always a pleasure dealing with them."
Advanced Design Construction, Inc.
"I had never used a "Hard Money" lender in the 15 years I've been flipping houses so I was VERY leary because of the nightmare stories I've heard. I called on a Thursday and Justin said I'll meet you on Tuesday. I met him, we walked the property, I gave him some comps, he said I'll call you in a few days. He called me on Thursday and said your all set. No ss#, tax returns, income, etc. I was shocked. I would use this company again should the need arise."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- Are the Raymond C. Green Companies seeking an equity position in my property?
Definitely not. We are strictly lenders who do not seek an equity position in your venture. Your property is yours and you control it. - On what basis do the Raymond C. Green Companies make loans?
We define credit worthiness in terms different from the banks. We place emphasis on the value of the collateral rather than your financial history as it may appear on paper. For us, credit worthiness is a concept not etched in stone; we believe in flexibility and the concept of creative financing. - What are the terms of your loans?
Our loans are designed for the short term (4 months to a year). However, we write the majority of our loans for up to 3 years as we know some projects take longer than others and our borrowers don’t need the added pressure of being forced to pay extension fees or refinance within 6 – 8 months. - What can the Raymond C. Green Companies Offer?
First and foremost, personal service. You are not a nameless face; your needs and concerns are our needs and concerns. Secondly, speed of action. When you deal with us, you are not dealing with a loan committee which may meet but every few weeks. Rather, action on a loan can be taken at a moment’s notice, when you need it to happen, not at the convenience of a committee. - What is the cost of doing business with you?
Generally speaking, our rates are higher than those offered at a bank. However, our speed and creativity in structuring complex and multiple property transactions as well as our personalized service simply isn’t found elsewhere. Furthermore, for short term construction loans, the difference in cost can become negligible. We’re here to make things happen when you need them to happen. - What kinds of loans do the Raymond C. Green Companies make?
We specialize in real estate loans for builders, developers and investors including spec construction loans, rehab loans, bridge financing, condo conversions, condominium developments and cash our refinancing. - Are you a true “Hard Money Lender”?
We prefer the term “Private Lender” due to the negative connotations that can be associated with “Hard Money”. We certainly understand – through conversations with our customers – that egregious actions, price gouging and broken promises are an unfortunate reality for some in the industry of real estate finance. Our strong reputation, commitment to customer service and straight forward approach has made us the Lender of choice for those seeking alternatives to traditional bank financing. We encourage you to ask around about us and trust you won’t be disappointed.
