Real estate marketplace lender Money360 announced on Wednesday it has surpassed $500 million in commercial real estate loans closed since inception, which includes $357 million in loans closed for 2017.

While sharing more details about the latest milestone, Evan Gentry, Money360 founder and CEO, stated:
“Over the past several years, Money360 has become the go-to source for competitive commercial real estate loans by offering speed, efficiency, and transparency to borrowers and investors.
