All,

We have completed signing all the paperwork at my attorney's office around noon.

I would like to thank you all for bringing this loan to close given the current COVID-19 situation especially in the NYC and around the northeast.

Please stay healthy and wish we all get through this and come out safe and sound o the other side.

Thanks,
Ivan

Good Morning All!

Finally, I get to say thanks to everyone for all your efforts in getting this one done. When I saw this home in January and decided to move forward with it I never expected it to be this complicated but with persistence we got it done. 

Best Regards 

Lea

Thank you, 11 Capital Finance

    When I awoke yesterday morning, my thoughts were consumed with the list of TASKS that awaited me in the CRM.  I made my way to the coffee pot that was already set to go from the night before. I pressed the “On” button and walked to my office, sat down and turned on my computer once again. As I listened to the gurgle sound from the coffee maker I could smell the aroma of fresh coffee in the air. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes while thinking that it was going to be another long day filled with lots of emails, meetings, applications, and more emails. Our team had been working tirelessly day and night for over a week to pull together a streamlined process that can deploy SBA Relief Funds to thousands of business owners affected by the Corona Virus Pandemic.

     I could hear the news broadcast on the television from the living room reporting the latest unemployment figures. I had nothing to complain about, I felt thankful that I was able to work from home. Minutes later with my cup of fresh coffee sitting next to me on my desk, I started to make my first phone calls of the day. It was beginning to feel like such a chore as I left voice messages one after the other for applicants that had submitted requests for the SBA Relief Funds.

     I reached across my desk for what felt like the hundredth time, picked up the phone receiver and dialed the phone number that was typed on the Intake Form. “Doesn’t anyone answer their phone anymore”, I thought. I preparing to leave another voice message in someone’s voicemail when I heard a live voice on the other end. This time it wasn’t a recorded message, it was a woman with a pleasant voice. I could barely get the words out to tell her why I was calling. She had seen my name come up on her caller ID. She must have recognized it from the previous email I’d sent the day before.

Excitedly, she thanked me for letting her know that I had received her application. Then she started to tell me her story. She and her husband had been in a business of over twenty years, everything they had was tied up in their catering business. Now, with all the restrictions on group gatherings and social distancing, her family business could no longer operate. She broke out in tears as she told me that she had no idea what their future looked like. “How long will this last?”, she said. “How will we survive?”, she added. “I have two young children. This is all very frightening”

     Her next deep breath was followed by what felt like a sigh of relief, “Thank you!, Thank you so much for all the work you are doing to help us get the money we need to try to keep our family business!” She went on, “You are helping so many people! I can’t thank you enough! You are doing such a good thing!”

     With that, I began to well up with tears as I realized how truly, grateful she truly was.

     After the phone call, I sat back in my chair, took a deep breath and I couldn’t stop myself from sobbing as I reflected on her words. It was at that moment I no longer had a job. I now have a mission!  

     My mission is to help as many people as possible get the money and resources they need to survive and thrive. That typed -up list of unfamiliar names and random phone numbers I’d been staring at for days on my computer screen suddenly came to life.

     With a new-found enthusiasm, I continued to make more phone calls and I spoke with others who had the same type of reaction as Julie. 

     I also spoke with Brian who said that he’s been laid off for several weeks and had no idea if he’d ever be able to return to his old job. Yesterday, when he woke up early his wife asked why. He told her that he’s going to work at his new job as a Relief Fund Agent. He said he has lots of calls to make to people who need help!

I heard more thanks and sensed much gratitude!

     Honestly, the truth is that I am just as thankful for them.This morning when I woke up, I had a whole new outlook. I didn’t think about all the TASKS in my CRM, I thought about the people who are waiting for me to call. People who need hope that help is on the way! I even bypassed the coffeepot. I didn’t need the caffeine.

11 Capital Finance has truly changed my life. I was at a moral crossroad with the company I had been with for almost a decade. I didn’t feel like I could in good conscious continue working for them, and on top of it, I just had a baby and didn’t want to leave him with strangers to go out of the house every day for work.

Megan and Chris with 11 Capital Finance took a chance on me and not only gave me a new outlet for the customer service, networking, and marketing skills that I had used for years but additionally gave me the opportunity to be at home with my family. They provided me with a learning platform to be able to navigate and quickly learn the fundamentals of what was a new industry for me. I was also given access to a detailed CRM that made the daily management of clients and my schedule a breeze! And every staff member I had contact with provided amazing feedback and education that helped me grow so quickly in my new role.

For the first time in 10 years, I am able to be home every night for dinner with my kids; I have the time to COOK them that dinner every night. I am home to help with homework, to watch the new developments in my 5-month-old, and to work around my kid’s schedules.

When I got the call that the kids would not be going back to school due to the pandemic, I didn’t have to panic. I am blessed that I am not one of the many parents that had to worry about what they were going to do with their children, who would watch them, who would have to change their work schedule. I didn’t have to have a concern about being out and working with the public and potentially bringing home this virus to my loved ones. And I didn’t have to worry that all of this meant that I was going to be unemployed and not be able to take care of my family.

That sense of security is something that I could never put a price on. I will forever be grateful to the entire team at 11 Capital Finance, who truly feel like family, for this amazing opportunity I have professionally and for the extra time with my children.

"Thank You very much Marty! I’d like to say this process has gone very well and I am impressed with all of the people involved in getting this done. I appreciate the professionalism and it is a welcome relief! Looking forward to many more!

Hi Dana,

Thank you for replying to each of my response items; I appreciate your candid insights. I generally try to close immediately after the title search has been completed, as I buy distressed properties, and the owners appreciate quick payment. Hence, the 15-day closing time frame.

You've worked hard for my business, so when I have the next property under contract I'll send the details.

Thank you again for the full and prompt responses, and the kind words.

Regards,
Barney H.

Ethan B. - Loan Originator from Wisconsin

“I am a residential loan officer out of Wisconsin, able to lend on properties up to 4 units. I have many opportunities cross my desk from realtor referrals and from my sphere that I am not able to lend on due to debt-ratio issues that investors frequently have or property-specific issues. In the past, I have simply referred them out to local commercial bankers, and I was a victim of their poor service and communication. For as long as I have known 11 Capital Finance, and Marty Johnston specifically, I can trust that my clients will be cared for in the same manner I would care for them. Not only am I able to trust that my clients’ deals will close, but I can also enjoy the financial incentive offered as a formal referral partner!

I recently had a situation where my client was unable to qualify for conventional financing due to a foreclosure she had not known about prior to applying with me, and she was already under a purchase contract. Marty Johnston at 11 Capital Finance was able to close the deal on time, leaving my realtor partner and client incredibly satisfied.

Thank you for all you do!”

What our IAPs have said about us

I think everything was great, everyone was very responsive,

11Capital is definitely in my future.  We can't control the lenders and

title companies and all of their insanity, but, you even made all of that

nonsense just another step in the process, instead of a panic.
