Borrower Testimonials
"Matt Burk and his company, Fairway Commercial, have been more than just a lender to us. My husband and his family are restaurant owners from Greece. Several years ago we had the unique opportunity to exercise a 'Right of First Refusal' to purchase the property on which their restaurant was located. This property is a key commercial property in an urban area of Seattle. It offered our family a huge investment opportunity for the future. Although the property had an incredible value, we found out quickly that many banks and lenders have a difficult time financing restaurant operated properties. We were forced to start talking to 'hard money' type lenders. Then, we met Matt and were introduced to his firm. It was a huge relief for us as Matt came in and explained why this was happening and offered solutions. We were impressed how 'hands on' he is when it comes to loans. I think I can honestly say we would not have purchased the property if it were not for Matt and his firm.
Since then, we have also completed a couple of refinances where Matt stepped in when no one else would and again offered us the terms we needed and closed within a time period that was almost unbelievable.
The staff at Fairway has always been extremely professional. They always make you feel like you are important whatever your needs are at the time. They remember things about you and your property that are not necessary, but make you feel like they care. Working with Fairway over the last several years has really changed our life and made things easier for us."

I want to thank you for the very personal and professional manner in which my wife Patricia and I were treated in our recent loan through Fairway Commercial Mortgage. You performed quickly, efficiently, and openly while maintaining a personal interest in us as clients. I would recommend you to anyone in the position we found ourselves: rebuffed by mainline banks, yet in need of a bridge loan that would within 6 months allow the loan to be repaid without penalty and result in substantial profit for us. Kudos to you and Fairway for the integral roles you played in this success story."

"I was turned down by two banks and both referred me to Fairway Commercial Mortgage. I found them helpful and quick in giving me the funds I needed. I am now a customer and someday I will become an investor."

"Fairway is a very professional company that does a good and efficient job and does what they say they are going to do for you. I was treated well by Deni, David and the owners. This company saved my land and my business of over 22 years along with my sanity. I have 25 businesses inside the spa that depend on me too. Thank you so much for helping me. It means more to me than you'll ever know."

"Fairway America worked diligently with me during my tenure as a borrower. My husband had initially sought a loan from Fairway when the bank turned him down. After he ran into health problems I became responsible for the performance of the loan. Our business soon hit some obstacles and I fell short on my payments. Fairway worked with me to setup a solution that allowed me to sell my property without having to face foreclosure. "
