Why LendingOne was created
“We set out to create a lending company that was focused on the customer experience first”
In 2014, Bill Green and Matthew Neisser founded LendingOne in response to their frustrations felt towards the banks’ disinterest in providing funding for investors and the unreliability and overly expensive reality of hard money lenders. With Mr. Green’s skills and experience in creating world-class organizations, coupled with Mr. Neisser’s background in technology and finance, LendingOne was born. As a direct private real estate lender, LendingOne was created to focus on the customer first and foremost, with the overall goal of providing them with a faster and easier way to apply and receive approval for their loans so their real estate investments can grow.
