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
Finance Lobby has been great as a commercial real estate platform on multiple levels. Really enjoying the software.
The Finance Lobby platform well exceeded my expectations. It was incredibly easy to post a deal, and I did not expect to have three offers within less than 24 hours, at a high quality and with the conditions we were looking for. Honestly, Finance Lobby moved quicker than we were prepared (which is a good problem to have!) and we will be re-posting the deal in 60 days when we will actually be closer to execution.
I have completed and submitted a soft quote in the system. I appreciate you reaching out to Sullivan Bank. The process was easy and user friendly. The customer service you exemplified was excellent.
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!
