Success Stories

As a business development officer with Auburn Community Bank, I have known Colin Clemitson of North City Financial for more than five years.  During those five years, I have referred to Colin many commercial loans that fell outside of the lending parameters of Auburn Community Bank.

In each case, Colin treated the clients in a professional, courteous manner and managed to obtain for most of the clients a commercial loan that suited their financial needs.

I would highly recommend Colin Clemitson and North City Financial as a source for unique and unconventional loans.

Dear Colin,

I wanted to thank you for the great job you did in obtaining the loan on my commercial building.

You know how upset I was after the bank that I have dealt with for over six years, declined my loan application due to my income, after having the loan package for over 30 days!

Fortunately, I was referred to you by a mutual friend, and I was immediately impressed with you straightforward, honest, approach, and the way you explained my options in a way I could understand.

You managed to get me a stated income loan that solved my income problem and enabled me to secure the building.

Not only did you get me the loan, but the whole transaction closed in 47 days after the application.  Now that is what I call fast!

Many Thanks once again, and please feel free to use this letter any way you wish.

Kindest regards,

Dear Colin,

We are writing to express our gratitude for the excellent job that you did in arranging financing for our commercial property.

As you know, we own a piece of commercial real estate located in downtown Sacramento.  We had submitted an application to our bank to refinance the SBA loan that we had on the building.  The Equity in our building had grown substantially so we did not anticipate that this would be too much of a problem.  To our surprise, they said that they were unable to assist us in securing a new loan on the property.

We had dealt with Terri Siler on previous real estate deals so we called to see if he could help us out.  He suggested that we give you a call and we are so glad we did.  You were very thorough and knowledgeable about the entire commercial real estate process.  We did not realize how different this process is from residential real estate but you kept us informed the entire way and there were no surprises!  You found us a loan that fit our specific needs and did so while securing us a very acceptable rate.  Our loan closed when you said it would and the entire process took just a little over 4 days.

Thank you for your professionalism and outstanding customer service!  We would highly recommend your company to anyone looking for a commercial loan.

You have our permission to use this letter as a testimonial and to use our company as a reference for potential clients

Sincerely,

Mark and Janis Dingman

To whom this may concern,

As a Realtor my first duty is to my Clients. It is essential that my Clients are serviced by the best professionals in the Housing Industry.  Therefore I recommend only the best in the business to my client, and these professionals have proven themselves over time.  I want to ensure my Clients are treated in a professional, courteous and efficient manner, and that the information given to them is an accurate and timely.

Colin Clemitson of North City Financial fits all of the above criteria and has demonstrated on many occasions the ability to produce results and ensure that the loan process works.  He has consistently enabled my clients to close their loan and therefore their escrow on time with now surprises.  He is one of the “Best of the Best.”  Thank you Colin for all your fine effort!
