I had a great experience working with Zach and Mary at Cetan for a recent whole-home renovation project. They have a ton of local market expertise, are very upfront and communicative, quick with draw payments and excited to help investors close more deals. I'll be using them for all of my rehab and development projects moving forward.
We recently completed our first development project and we’re so grateful to have found Cetan Funds! Zach Smith is a fantastic partner and I’m sure we’ll be working together again soon. All of their processes from underwriting, closing costs, draw issuance, to uses of contingency funds is very transparent and clear. Additionally, everything is geared towards the needs of a GC, common sense practices and quick turn around for stage approvals and draws to get subs paid. I never lost my timeline, which was frankly my biggest fear when evaluating lenders- many of which have cumbersome draw procedures that build in unnecessary delays. None of those hinderances with these guys. I’m so very grateful to have a successful project under my belt- I sincerely believe with another lending partner and the market changes we saw in 2023- I may not have been so fortunate. If you’re building or renovating in Oregon and need a good hard money lender- I recommend Zach Smith and Cetan Funds with the highest endorsement! Ryan Brown Dovetail Custom Homes
