“My partners and I have worked with Elliot for many years. He serves as a leading example of reliability, trustworthiness, and capability in the private lending industry in California. He gets the deal done.”

 

-Chris Moritz, Newmark Knight Frank

-Seth Grossman, Meridian Capital

 “Elliot is reliable and honest. If he can do something he will tell you and get it done. Just as importantly if it is not a fit he is quick to let you know that as well.”

 

-Jordan Angel, HFF

-Ryan Parker, Walker Dunlop

“Elliot is a hand-shake reliable lender who possesses a passion for competing for top-quality loans, which he has translated into a positive-drive perseverance like no other private lender I know. He has developed long-standing industry relationships and is committed to the betterment of the commercial lending business as shown in his consistent volunteer efforts with industry associations and organizations.”

 

-Kevin Randles, CBRE

“In each of my multiple past deals, Elliot has always been a preferred lending contact: fair, intelligent, & reliable. Furthermore, with deals that need more monitoring or servicing, he can be entrusted to see the deal through the finish line.”

 

-Bradley Buzil, Marcus & Millichap

“I’ve always known Elliot to live up to his word and honor the integrity of his relationships.”

 

-Dennis Sidbury, Northmarq Capital

“BridgeCore is our company’s preferred bridge capital source. As a CRE brokerage owner, I’ve made a successful living comparing commercial lenders. And I can assure you, there’s no competition compared to BridgeCore. Besides always having flexible and competitive terms, there’s a certainty of execution working with them that you rarely find elsewhere. Having no doubt my deal is going to get done is invaluable, and their detail and professionalism that makes me look like a rockstar to my clients is the cherry on top.”

 

-Colin Dubel, HarborWest

“Elliot and his team stepped up to the plate and delivered when my client was in a bind. We had just been declined by another lender on a nuanced credit item, and my client had to close in two weeks. Elliot got right on it, and called me a few days later with good news, he could close a few days before the deadline. He is professional, timely and above all else, he is straight with you. I highly recommend the team at BridgeCore.”

 

-John Darrow, Slatt Capital

“Elliot is a true professional. The commitment and attention to detail our deals receive is unmatched. BridgeCore has become a valuable lending partner that continues to provide competitive solutions with certainty of execution for our clients.”
