Kennedy Funding : Client Quotes

	Cornerstone Funding Services, Inc.
	I don’t write these letters as often as I should, especially for the private lenders who often have a thankless role in the loan process. However, I felt compelled to thank Kennedy Funding for your assistance with and determination in funding my client’s recent projects. It’s not just any company that can fund over $20 million dollars and do so in less than a month. Your underwriting process was straightforward, no-nonsense, and I truly believe Kennedy Funding to be one of the more honest and hard working private lenders on the market. You made me and my clients feel as if their project was the only project you were working on at the time and that attitude goes a long way to develop trust and rapport. Kennedy Funding is and will always be the first firm to see all of my private money deals. Sincerely, Craig Grella, Principal Cornerstone Funding Services, Inc.

	"We were looking for a loan with a quick close and realistic expectations and that led us to Kennedy Funding. They moved along the time line that they promised and we will be more than willing to work with them in the future and to recommend them." Trent Schelkopf, President NRDP

	I want to express my thanks for a job well done with the recent closing of the $8,800,000 loan on the 242,000sf Office Property here in Los Angeles. The property has unique challenges and you worked very hard to assist in mitigating problems and knocking down obstacles. It was especially refreshing as your team kept it simple, didn’t over complicate the process and approached issues as real estate entrepreneurs. What’s especially impressive is the ability to get a transaction of that size done in 14 days from signing of LOI. This was due in part to your 24/7 availability and cooperative attitude. Kennedy’s ability to accomplish this funding allowed my borrower to take advantage of a time sensitive opportunity. Thank you again and looking forward to working with you and Kennedy Funding again.

	I have been a real estate developer in California and Texas for 23 years and I have closed over 50 transactions. I have always done my deals with family and friends and had never worked with an institutional fund before, but as part of my ongoing mission to build a larger organization (we are currently at 14 people), I engaged Kennedy Funding as my first institutional financier and thanks to their hard work and effort we were able to close this transaction in a fraction of the time it normally takes. They made the process pleasant and hassle free, but most of all I was impressed by the level of professionalism and speed at which they could turn the deal around. Matt Hainline, Principal Onyx Capital Partners

	I have been on Wall Street for 17 years and have been raising money for Hedge Funds from institutions for over 10 years - my experience with Kennedy Funding, Jeff Wolfer and his team went above and beyond what I was expecting. Prior to Kennedy, our interaction with commercial lenders was very different - very slow, bureaucratic and an overall lackadaisical approach to our business - we were looking for a "go to" firm and Kennedy Funding most certainly proved to us that they wanted a long standing business relationship - our entire experience was very professional - everything surpassed our expectations and fit our needs perfectly.

	It was apparent from day one that Kennedy Funding, Inc. was the "real deal." We were in a transition phase for our development and needed a bridge loan until our bank could complete their loan process. Our project is the first in this part of the world to be fully powered by wind and solar . . . remaining "loyal" to the environment. This propelled us to take every step to keep this vision alive and secure bridge financing. Kennedy jumped right in. From the beginning, they were attentive to our needs, followed through on all their promises, kept their word, and dedicated their staff to making this happen. A short time after working with Kennedy, we were able to sleep comfortably knowing that we were in good hands. Their attorneys, support staff, consultants worked feverishly to meet our deadline. They handled it like they've been here for a thousand years. As a result, we will highly recommend anyone doing business in the Caribbean and any part of the world to contact Kennedy if they need real solutions to their project funding or other financing needs. The Caribbean and Latin American region now have a "friend" with the highly qualified team at Kennedy with their ability to find solutions to highly complex financing matters as well as the simple ones. We look forward to a long and prosperous relationship with Kennedy. From the entire Wintdots Development family: we want to say: THANK YOU!

	Kennedy Funding brings old school efficiency and honesty to a lending market that has lost all sense of the personal touch. When my company approached Kennedy as a first-time borrower in 1998, we were greeted with a level of professional courtesy and concern unmatched in our 25 years in real estate development. Kennedy is a streamline lender that can make decisions in a lunchroom, not just a boardroom. They move at the speed of the electronic world we live in. I've often heard that Kennedy is "expensive" money. Compared to our past experiences with equity venture partners we find Kennedy the best deal in the marketplace. I would highly recommend talking to the people at Kennedy Funding if you are in need of quick capital to support a solid project. Why dilute your equity position and end up with some very expensive partners? Check bottom line, we did and have saved millions though or continued relationship with Kennedy as a result.

	Lake Diamond Associates, LLC

	"I had a fabulous opportunity to purchase a property with an 18-hole golf course and 744 building lots. The problem? I was short $4 million and had to close in just 10 days. "I called Kennedy on a Thursday…they looked at the property that weekend…and by Tuesday I had my loan commitment. "Then, I said, 'Thanks, but no thanks.' You see, in the meantime a traditional lender --I had contacted months before -- called with lower rates. I didn't end up using Kennedy, but thank goodness they were there." Jacob Frydman, CEO Lake Diamond Associates, LLC

	Kevin, I wanted to take a moment to thank you and everyone at Kennedy Funding for the excellent job you and your firm did in closing the “Harmony” loan project. As you know I specialize in Commercial financing and was very impressed with everything your firm did, from start to finish. This loan was difficult in that there were many parcels and investors involved, each requiring special attention. Throughout the process your entire firm used common sense and put a great deal of effort into the process to make sure this loan would close. Please pass along my thanks to Kevin and Joe Wolfer, and all of the staff that cooperated in this funding. Usually, in my business I feel as if I am working alone to get a loan closed; however, you and everyone at Kennedy Funding kept reassuring me and keeping me informed of the loan progress. This meant a great deal to me. Thank you very much, Steven Krasnor
