HOA Loan Services Reviews 18

My Association has been working with HOA Loan Services for the past year and a half to close a $4.5M loan. Without Larry's guidance, we not would have successfully crossed the finish line, and certainly not with such a favorable interest rate. It was clear from the start that the expertise provided by HOA Loan Services was indispensable during the long process of securing a loan.

Excellent service and patience with all the questions and requests.

Extremely helpful and fair, honest, and responsive. Great advice. What more can you ask from your loan broker.

We worked with Larry Kirschner who was responsive, informative and supportive through the entire process. If you are an HOA that isn't sure really how to begin this process Arch Capital Solutions is the way to go.

After months of contacting local banks, we were unsuccessful in obtaining a loan with terms that would fit our Association’s needs. We have 400+ units ranging from studios to 3 bedrooms; needed $30M; a 2-year draw; and extended payback options. We were not surprised that our initial search for bank financing for $30 million was unsuccessful. It was not that local banks were totally unwilling. It was simply that they did not wish to extend terms for more than $10-15 million and not for more than 10-15 years. They did not appreciate that elevator modernization and domestic riser projects could not be broken up into smaller units without incurring substantial cost increases and major delays that risked catastrophic events.

One of our members reached out to his contacts in the financing world to find brokers who were experienced with Associations and thus we connected with Arch Capital. We reached out and were pleased with the Arch Capital response. Larry Kirschner not only understood our situation, he had systems in place that allowed him to run numerous combinations of rates and terms and shared these results with detailed spreadsheets. In addition, he spent hours discussing various risks that we needed to consider including size of banks under consideration and their relevant experience with associations. He is very personable and worked hard to find suitable financing institutions. The results were well worth the consultant fee.

If there were 10 *’s for ranking Arch Capital it wouldn’t be enough. Larry is an excellent listener, proactive and most important, understands the unique needs of an HOA. He guided us through every step of the process and provided further assistance on Special Assessment terms after the Bank loan was secured.

Larry was such a pleasure to work with and believe me his patience was certainly tested. This was our first loan and I had many questions. Larry was always quick to respond, even reaching out to me on my schedule. I highly recommend Larry & Arch Capital Solutions!

The process went very smoothly and Larry was extremely helpful and responsive. Given that our Association is relatively small, I knew that it would be challenging to find a loan, but Larry was able to get things done relatively quickly and painlessly.

They got us a loan! We are a small HOA, 17 units, and couldn't find a loan anywhere even though our financials were good. ArchCapital found us a great loan within just a couple of days. Now we can do our rehab project! Thanks so much. - Canyon Park Townhomes

Having taken over our COA, as a new Board we were highly dismayed when we realized that reserves had not been set aside for the replacement of our 20+ roofs. The fact that it was in the middle of all the PPP loans being made, made it difficult to get any response, even from our local banks. That's when I found Arch Capital Solutions. They located a lender who would give us a loan at a fairly reasonable rate and with terms we could meet. They were persistent in seeking the loan for us, communicated very clearly on all matters, and got the job done. Our Association is very grateful for their professionalism and tenacity. Did I mention that their fee was very reasonable? Thank you, Larry. You guys really came through for us!

Good service in a difficult time
Archcapital was able to arrange a loan right in the middle of Covid 19. They navigated thru a changing market and secured us a competitive loan. It enabled us to complete our HOA repairs in a timely and efficient manner. Hope we don't have to but we would use them again if need be!

As president of our board in Long Beach CA, I wasn't sure how to go about getting a loan for the Mona Lisa HOA. I was referred to Arch Capital from one of the lenders who rejected our loan. Larry and Ben were a pleasure to deal with. They went above and beyond, even running through several scenarios. They found us a solid lending partner and held our hand every step of the way. I can't thank them enough and highly recommend them.

As Board Treasurer, I worked directly with Mr. Kirschner to secure bank financing for our condo association. Mr. Kirschner was always proactive and responsive to the many challenges this process entailed and demonstrated great perseverance throughout the process, which actually extended over a year due to a variety of circumstances. The successful closing of our bank loan provided us with tremendous financial benefit and we owe this to Mr. Kirschner's professionalism and dedication.

We are an association of 53 units of which I am the president. When searching for banks offering association loans we encountered Arch Capital (Larry Kirschner). Our experience with them was excellent. Simply stated, searching for the selection of banks, the speed of response and the number of institutions that Larry found was something we could not have done on our own. Frankly, I did not have the time, nor the knowledge of the banking industry, to do what Larry did and the little time it took for offers. Frankly, I was more than a little positively surprised! The knowledge and transparency Larry provided during the entire process was also excellent and it was great having an advocate as well.

Larry made the process simple, ensuring that our documentation was in good order before submitting it for review. His up-front work saved us time and helped our loan close much faster than we had anticipated.

Larry was very upbeat, positive, and accurate in his dealings with our Condo Association.
Hopefully we will not have to borrow again, but if we do we would consider Arch Capital.

It has been a pleasure to work with Larry! We have worked with him in two loans and both went extremely smooth. His incite was invaluable and worth the money. Would highly recommend his services.

Arch Capital Solutions was a pleasure to deal with. As Treasurer for our Condo Association, I had tremendous difficulty finding a Bank that would assist on a Capital Improvement project. Once I spoke to Arch, they identified qualified Lenders that played in that arena. It went smoothly and made my life easier. I highly recommend them.

Larry was very thorough and gave me exact requirements for a fast approval. It took less than a few weeks. Very happy with his company professional and gets it done.
Thank you for helping my association.
