ABOUT
THE COMPANY
Westport Commercial is a boutique mortgage broker specializing in commercial real estate, as well as residential fix & flip.
​
What does that mean exactly? We're happy to explain...
​
A mortgage broker, working on behalf of borrowers, serves as the bridge between borrowers and lenders.
We seek out lenders that can provide the best financing for our borrowers, whether they're a small business owner, a first-time investor, or a veteran owner/landlord.
​
We describe ourselves as boutique because we're a specialized shop with fewer than 20 team members.
​
Our originators talk with lenders daily, which means that you'll benefit from our industry expertise and our lender-specific knowledge.
The size of our company means that you, as a borrower, receive personal attention from the best originators in the business—people who are working for you to meet your financing objectives on your timeline.
We know how difficult the loan process can be for borrowers, and we do everything we can to make it as painless as possible.
