Two experienced commercial developers were under contract to acquire these bank-owned parcels within a much larger, grocery-anchored center. The trick was in identifying solutions that allowed Seattle Funding Group to overcome a variety of significant challenges, and to do so within the rather limited time available to meet the escrow closing requirements. In the end, it came down to experienced & financially capable sponsorship, a significant cash down-payment, the creation of a fund control reserve for completion of the required off-site improvements and the flexibility to create a sensible and safe financing structure.
SFG brings this same flexibility and experience to the table with every lending challenge we analyze and underwrite. The issues that faced this request were indeed material and substantial, but as many professionals within the brokerage community have come to learn, SFG is the first and last call they need to make.
