About Us
We took out a mortgage to build this.
Both our sweat equity and actual equity are in this. That’s how deeply we believe that we can help.
Finance Lobby was conceived, designed, built, and brought to market by a passionate group of high-performing mortgage professionals. In their careers, they personally experienced the pains involved in the endless chase of calls, mismatches, denials, fall-throughs, and so on.
At the same time, they also heard from their lender colleagues about time spent on calls about deals they don’t want and the frenetic chase to fill the quarterly bucket. Together, they realized that no one was successfully operating a marketplace to match supply with demand.
What we do
In the same way that Uber and AirBnB have revolutionized their respective industries by introducing technology that addresses supply and demand needs, Finance Lobby uses the same strategy to help commercial lenders stay competitive in today’s market. Watch the video to learn more.

Testimonials
I discovered Finance Lobby while researching fintech solutions that can help community banks remain competitive. The app is clean, attractive and easy to use. It lets me easily review potential deals and keep track of which ones fit my bank’s loan appetite. I’m happy to report I found my first deal within hours of signing up! It’s a great tool to have to reach prospective clients you may not meet through more traditional channels, especially in this competitive lending environment. Five stars!
I like the system. It’s pretty good. I’ve been using it and I intend to use it more. It does work and I do get responses.
The system is very straightforward. Obviously, the biggest thing about the system is that it gives the lenders just enough information to catch their attention. If there’s interest, you can continue outside the system. The general platform is amazing, and I really like it. Amazing tools!
I appreciate you sending this opportunity to me. So far, your system seems pretty straightforward and easy to use. I’m looking forward to hearing back from the potential borrower.
