Catherine Nelson

Real Estate professional with more than twenty years of experience in all aspects of Real Estate including lending, management, origination, processing, underwriting, valuations, preparing closing documents, reconciling HUDs, funding, servicing, (including through foreclosure process when necessary), managing rehab projects, construction loan draws/inspections and returning assets to cash, also responsible for networking and marketing with potential borrowers and investors. My experience in private money has allowed me the opportunity to, interact and manage investor relation expectations, work to help borrowers craft and execute a plan to purchase and even to assist with creating prospectus and/or specific offering circulars in order to create and sell the note that we created. Working within small businesses has necessitated that I developed the ability to read, analyze, interpret correctly, and instill policies to maintain compliance with regulations and regulators.

As a Realtor I utilize my vast experience to help buyers and sellers reach their goals of home ownership.
