Ever lost a strong deal because financing couldn’t move fast enough? In real estate, speed and certainty matter. Private lending continues to grow for exactly that reason; it gives lenders and borrowers the flexibility to act quickly and close efficiently. Bridge loan volume jumped 51% year over year, and the average loan amount topped $634,000, according to the American Association of Private Lenders. It’s a clear sign that demand for fast, reliable capital is on the rise.
But as the market grows, so do the challenges. Competition is increasing. Margins are tighter. And timelines are getting shorter. Staying competitive means having tools in place to move with precision and make decisions backed by data.
At Valligent and Veros Real Estate Solutions (Veros), we’ve developed valuation solutions that help lenders move quickly, assess property value accurately, and manage risk at every step. These tools are designed to support today’s bridge lending environment and prepare you for what’s next.
