How Our Process Works in North Carolina

At Crebrid, we understand that time is money. That’s why we offer fix-and-flip loans based on After-Repaired Value (ARV) to cover up to 90% of project costs. We back every loan with clear underwriting, direct communication, and a tech-driven platform that ensures your funding stays on schedule. From initial approval to draw management, our process is built to eliminate delays and keep your project on track and profitable.

Technology that moves deals, not paperwork.

Our tech-powered platform puts you in control. Move through the application process on your schedule, without unnecessary back-and-forth. It’s built to get you further, faster—with no wasted time.

Institutional connectivity = reliable funding.

We’re plugged into institutional capital and capital-markets partners, giving your deal the balance-sheet strength, consistency, and scale that mom-and-pop lenders can’t match—through market cycles, not just fair weather.

Transparent, borrower-controlled structure

Choose your leverage, term, and fee profile to fit the project—not the other way around. Every dollar is visible up front: rate, points, costs, draw schedule, and timelines—no “gotchas,” ever.

Local closings, fast draws, real support.

We coordinate attorney closings across North Carolina and keep projects moving with responsive inspections and same-day draw decisions whenever possible. You’ll always know what’s next and who’s on it.
