Broker Award

NAC leadership accepting the Best Broker Award from the National Alliance of Commercial Loan Brokers, October 2021.

America's #1 Broker Program

NAC’s commitment to brokers has earned us the distinct honor of being crowned the #1 Broker Program in America by the NACLB (National Alliance of Commercial Loan Brokers). Why the recognition? It could be our straightforward 1% commission minimum, distributed at loan close. Or it could be our robust, easy-to-use catalog of broker resources that take the guesswork out of describing our niche offering. It was for these reasons, the NACLB bestowed such an honor. Our reason for maintaining such commitment is clear: together, we can help secure competitively priced funding for some of America’s most overlooked economic producers. 

 

Loans Starting at $2 Million

North Avenue Capital’s suite of loan programs offers competitively priced solutions for commercial enterprises primarily in areas with populations under 50k.

Broker Case Study:


Butler & Butler Properties


Molly Butler, half of the namesake behind Butler & Butler Properties of St. Augustine, Florida, is perhaps better acquainted with NAC’s broker program than anyone else. As one of our highest earners, Molly’s introductions to NAC borrowers St. Mark’s Pond and RCA Trade Center resulted in three significant flows of funds. The first two streamed from the USDA’s funds into the accounts of two quality rural businesses businesses, while the other came in the form of referral bonuses from NAC directly to Molly. If Molly’s six-figure total in referral bonuses is any indication, the relationship between brokers and NAC can be a lucrative one.
