Thanks to Crebrid, my partner and I were able to complete our renovations quickly and get our investment property on the market in no time at all.

I couldn’t have asked for a more professional team than the one at Crebrid. We had a deadline to meet that was just 4 days away from when I first contacted them and it was an out-of-state property and Ford Story and the team came through with flying colors. I would highly recommend Crebrid!!! Thanks again for helping us out.

Bella Investments

Fantastic service from William at Crebrid! He ensured my draw requests were processed smoothly and efficiently, with great attention to detail and communication. Truly professional and dedicated—highly recommend for any lending needs!

I’ve worked with Crebrid on four transactions since November 2023, and they’ve been exceptional every step of the way—from lending and insurance to rehab and answering all my questions. They’re professional, reliable, and ethical—especially in the hard money space. Big shoutout to Jack, my rep, for your patience and support. You’re the best. Love this team!

Nick Poulos

I’ve worked with Kevin Shipman and Crebrid for 7 years across referrals, client deals, and our own investments. Kevin is always reliable and delivers exceptional service. Most recently, he and Ford Story went above and beyond to fund a last-minute deal when a client backed out. They made it happen on time, and we’re grateful to keep working with them.

Long-time professional or just getting started? Let’s make it happen the right way, with the right team.
