How It Works

Send us the buyer. We handle the rest.

Send the Buyer Over

Give us the basics on the buyer and the property they are chasing.

We Underwrite It

A real underwriter reviews the file — usually back to you within 24 to 48 hours.

Buyer Gets Their Letter

Your buyer gets a pre-approval they can actually write offers with.

We Fund the Close

Funds wired through escrow so your deal closes on schedule.

Protection Layer

The Same Infrastructure Protects Everyone.

Every Hillcrest loan is built on the same three pillars, whether you are the borrower or the capital behind it.

First-Lien Security

Every loan is secured by a recorded deed of trust with first-lien priority — the lender is first in line to be repaid from the property.

Title & Escrow

Third-party escrow, lender title insurance, and full hazard coverage on every transaction — no exceptions.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions, answered.

Buyers who do not fit a conventional box — self-employed, investors, buyers needing speed, and buyers on commercial property. Private money is equity-driven, so the property matters most.

Usually within 24 to 48 hours of receiving the file. Funding can follow as fast as 48 hours once appraisal and title are complete.

Yes. You stay the agent on the deal and we keep you updated at every step. We are the capital, not a competitor.

No. Sending a buyer to Hillcrest for review costs you nothing.
