This is my 2nd loan through CIVIC FS. I'm a return customer by choice! This loan went through even faster than the 1st and the application for a repeat customer was short and sweet. I love their terms and the ability to extend for six months for such a great fee. CIVIC FS beats the conventional loan market because they are not restricted by the craziness of compliance protocol. Reviews are very quick and Eli is on the ball and at my service. Above all else, CIVIC FS rewards me for having a credit score above 760 with a better interest rate. You all Rock! HI FIVE!!!

I had a client that needed an investor fix and flip program to purchase and rehab a property in Kailua on the island of Oahu. It was a foreclosure sale with a short closing timeline. CIVIC delivered for us. From my initial inquiry about loan products and procedures, to the conference call Jack did with my clients, and through loan closing; CIVIC's service was impressive!

Civic really helped us on securing our first deal. They were very patient with us and help us till the end. Everything went well, from the point to the interest that they charged us. I will definitely use them again in the future as we tend to expand our investment portfolio.

I felt very comfortable using Civic Financial as a hard money lender. There were no hidden costs and everything was kept up front. Rance Brown was an excellent account representative and was always available to answer questions. I would not hesitate using them again.

5 stars: Excellent Loan company! Great rates, smooth closings etc... always a pleasure to do business with. I've been working with Whit as my loan processor for a little over a year now, he's been nothing but professional. As soon as I send my property info I receive an email or a call almost immediately to tell me whether or not the deal works. I appreciate that speed !! Whit understands that speed is top priority in this business and especially for me which is the main reason why I love working with Civic! As long as I'm in the Real Estate business, Civic will be my first choice when it comes to the loan! Thanks Whit for all the smooth transactions! Tony C.

Civic has paved the way for how lending should be. I am elated to have a partner like Civic. They are hands down the best in the business. I buy and sell close to 150 homes a year and I utilize Civic for all my financing. Great Company to work with especially Paul Blanchard

As I had mentioned it to Kendra, our loan officer, we enjoyed the experience. It was painless and Civic delivered on what they promised. Their team is on top of things and move the process along quickly. As far as Kendra, we couldn't be more grateful. She was there for us and she is someone you can count on when you need, sometimes responding to my texts almost at midnight. You know you have someone on the other end working constantly for you. She made us feel like we were her only client!

There are hundreds of private mortgage companies in U.S, it is very hard to work with the right one. After submit required documents to 3 lender, the result was very disappointed. (broken promises and damage to my credit file)

With Civic Financial Services, they take a little longer but the results are far exceed expectation. All my investment financial for sure will be handle by Chris of Civic Financial Sevices.

I took out my first owner builder rehab loan with Patrick Morgan at CIVIC. The process was much simpler and faster than I had anticipated and it was one of the easiest mortgage transactions I have experienced. I look forward to working with CIVIC again in the near future.

I am a Senior Asset Manager at another lender, and Brian Fung is my go-to guy when it comes to referring my clients to him who are approaching their maturity dates. Brian has refinanced at least a dozen of our loans. Not only has he impressed me, my company, but our mutual clients. Brian goes above and beyond to meet our mutual client's needs. Most importantly, he is ALWAYS available. I look forward to continuing to work with CIVIC and Mr. Fung.

Working with Civic is an absolute pleasure. Professional, proactive, and extremely transparent. They assist from start to finish and Todd is one of the most helpful and knowledgeable professionals in the space. Very happy to work with them and will continue to strengthen the relationship with Civic for future dealings.

We absolutely loved working with Civic! Our broker Blake Rogers agreed to meet us in person and we were very impressed with his knowledge, responsiveness, honesty, and genuine understanding of what WE needed, and try to work with that. We were on a tight timeline and closed in about 2 weeks after we made final decision to move forward! Blake Rodgers and Jeremy Soldate were lightning fast and always available - how refreshing! Great overall experience working with Civic and will definitely be doing business with them again!

I never give reviews as business is tough, but I must share this experience so other borrowers do not fall into this trap. My firm does a LOT of hard and traditional debt.
Borrowers BEWARE. If you need a loan for rehab, do NOT use this group. Besides being late for docs in closing by a few days in a closing time that was VERY easy to hit (thankfully our seller was patient), Civic does NOT disclose nearly at all from Day 1 the borrower is to pay 100% of the purchase debt + renovation debt! The borrower is paying for money he does not have. Additionally, Civic does not give full draw request amounts but % (Civic does not release renovation draws in full until they meet the maximum amount of renovation loan committed). ALL OTHER LENDERS we deal with charge you for the debt you USE. Not 100% of the renovation debt you have yet to request.
There are a TON of other non-traditional hard money lenders out there. Civic came to me due to our deal flow amount and I told the rep Brian that I would give Civic a small loan as a test that was a "LAYUP"in basketball terms; Civic missed the shot.....airball.

Civic has been amazing to work with. They were able to close me very quick. They guide you through the entire process step by step making it very easy to understand. Dawn is the sweetest and always greeted me with a smile on the other end of the phone. I highly recommend their services.

This is the third time we work with Brian and Kailyn from Civic. And they are the best people you can ask for work with from a lender! They make everything so easy so fast and so smooth. Zero headache during the whole transaction, we will stay with them for sure in future for more flip business!

Civic Financial has been a pleasure to work with. We thoroughly researched several lenders beforehand and went with Civic for a few reasons. First, the loan application website was modern and streamlined. It was extremely easy to get started and to continue updating along the way. Second, their rates were fair and comparable to others, and they were supportive of our first rehab property. Third, and most importantly, our account executive Brian Fung was simply the best. From the first phone call all the way through closing (and beyond), he was extremely responsive, kind, and informative. We look forward to working with Brian and Civic on many more properties to come.

Called them after a denial due to difficulties with income although I have a stellar credit score and no lack of down payment. Talked with Matt, painless application, answered EVERY call no matter time day and night (and there were a few to say the least). Funded in 2 weeks! I would recommend this company to anyone..

As in Independent sale office,the Civic Financial 'Services" team gives us the tools, insight to overcome obstacles for a smooth underwriting process and eventual. Resulting in bringing value to our clients. Specifically, Jackelyn Gonzales and her team including Rebecca Potter and all behind the scene gives the ISO a feeling as it's our team. Their knowledge, support, pleasant professionalism is the bar of perfection other lenders strive for. My emphasis on 'Services', with today's technology Jackelyn and her team are quickly to reply and or return a call. This traditional service is becoming void and antiquated in business. However, myself and our Representatives have better relationships with our clients practicing returning calls and hands on personal service.r Recognizing this practice will always be a major piece of a successful sales team and their ''Services''. It will never be antiquated to call a client even if there are no updates on a file and informing them your on top of the file. This is Fund Simple's way and the ''Civic'' way. Often when i'm on LinkedIn, I see a an investor looking for programs as yours. Instead of replying to them to contact Fund Simple, I reply with Jackelyn's contact info and my review of Civic. Part of being a successful business is to not take all the time, but also be generous with your knowledge and being consult too. Jackelyn has first look on all applicable files, as well as files that may not fit. In summary, we thank you for your support and continue bringing value and success to our clients, Fund Simple and Civic.

Scott Vincenti is probably one of the greatest referrals I ve received. He s very well spoken and just a well rounded guy that is very knowledgeable about the business. He s never not been able to answer a question, on top of he s always prompt to do so. His name has definitely been passed along to my network stream.

Matt and his team were incompetent and wasted valuable time with a tight closing. I offered Civic better than a 50% LTV and also brought 2 other free and clear properties worth more than the loan (each!) to back it up. I brought them a "silver platter of a deal" and they completely bungled it at the last minute. I had other solid investors lined up and it was a mistake to choose Civic. Now I'm back to square 1 with the folks I should have trusted to begin with. Thanks for nothing, Civic!

Justin and his team were amazing during the process of getting our loans and refinances. They were on top of getting all of our paperwork in as fast as they could. On our last transaction we ended up closing within a week. They always kept us in the loop with every step within the process. Justin is a solid mortgage/financial advisor and more importantly a genuine person. Highly recommended. Thanks again for all your help!

Honest, efficient and personable. Those three things are often mutually exclusive. You may get two of these traits, but these professionals are all three of the major things I look for in a team. Doing business can be challenging, so you need a partner that is committed to excellence and willing to work hard enough to achieve that end. If that happens, your results will shine in a competitive environment. We work a lot, more than most, but we do not outwork this team - Neither will you!

Very professional and friendly, however BE AWARE OF FEES about 5-10k origination fees and if you do a fix and flip and pay it off before a year which is what you generally do they charge you about 7k for paying it off early so just take about 15k off your profit. Read the fine print

From the moment I made an inquiry call and got a return call from James Hatcher within minutes I received nothing but excellent service. There was a fast pace the whole time and from start to finish it was over in 8 days. James returned my texts immediately and almost always answered my calls. I am very impressed with him and with the company in general. A big thanks to the whole team. Diana Kilber

It was a pleasure meeting Melissa Salinas at a recent REIA in Dallas. She earned our trust with her friendly nature and professionalism. Melissa and Michael Hoyt provided an excellent lending experience, knowledge and patience as my company joined a new lender. They were both "on the ball", very responsive and fast! We are happy to recommend this team to others.

I have been an investor since my first Townhouse in California. I applied with Civic and after grueling paperwork and tasks to complete with a property on the line. Come to find out 3 days after my needed closing date that they said "we can't" move forward with my loan, putting me MORE behind, and i already own the damn property, all because they said i am "directly related" to my Renter!! What planet are you from??!!! ???

Do not waste 2 weeks waiting for a close, go with REAL Private money lenders, and NOT a bank type lender!

Found a real lender and closed in 5 days! Stay away from CIVIC FINANCIAL, they might loose your deal since they have an assistant for their assistants. Too big and will fall like the banks did!
