Brokers/Intermediaries

Independent brokers are a minor yet important component of our business. Over the years we have developed an exclusive group of brokers who work with us on a consistent basis. Equis Capital Finance welcomes building new relationships with mortgage brokers and loan intermediaries. Our process is well defined and clearly documented allowing those acting in the capacity as brokers to provide a valuable service to their client.

Submission Procedure:

  1. In rder to apply for the submission of a project please complete the online Loan Application in our website in its entirety. This form will automatically forward to our underwriting staff. All required supporting documents can then be sent by email to info@equisfinance.com. Please identify each attachment by project name and by document description.
  2. Within two (2) business days our underwriting support staff will work directly with the broker to review the loan request and complete the preliminary analysis to determine the feasibility of funding. Once determined to represent a viable submission a Referral Agreement will be prepared for full execution with the Broker.
  3. Within one (1) business day after the completion of the initial loan request analysis, a telephone conference will be scheduled with the broker, borrower(s) and ECF’s senior underwriter to review ECF’s scope of services, underwriting and due diligence process. Following the teleconference, ECF will provide the borrower with an agreement that describes the scope of services and the terms and conditions of engagement.
  4. ECF will immediately begin its loan underwriting process upon receipt of the executed scope of services and engagement agreement.
