  • Knowledge – We recently worked on a variety of projects, ranging from a $500,000 single tenant facility to a $165 million industrial portfolio.

  • Experience Members of our team average more than 20 years of experience in commercial mortgages. We know the right sources of capital for each type of project. We also are sensitive to the details you should consider when deciding on financing, such as maximum loan amount, prepayment, and flexibility for refinance or transferability rate and term, and recourse versus non-recourse.

  • Resourceful We have unique resources. This includes being the only Chicago member in the Strategic Alliance Mortgage LLC (SAM), a nationwide group of independently owned commercial mortgage firms. SAM has a database with information on markets, properties, and debt and equity sources that gives its members a competitive edge. In addition, Draper and Kramer has its own Research and Analysis Department, which evaluates transaction data and develops financial analyses.

  • Relationships We have strong, long-term relationships with financial institutions, investors and lenders. This includes acting as a correspondent for many prominent companies and being a major FHA-approved mortgage lender.
