Commercial Real Estate

Real Estate Financing

Most real estate projects require some type of financing to ensure successful completion. Loans for new construction are most often short-term in nature and involve issues such as title insurance, lien priority, and disbursement of loan funds. Long-term financing on completed projects presents its own set of challenges including negotiating favorable loan terms, including ‘non-recourse’ carve-out guarantees, and proper documentation of the loan terms.

Messerli Kramer’s Commercial Real Estate group represents borrowers in all types of commercial real estate loans. Our expertise is crucial to our clients in obtaining the most advantageous terms in loan documents and completing loan transactions in a timely and efficient manner. We are innovative in structuring loan transactions to save money for our clients, and we work with a wide network of professional partners including local title companies, surveying, engineering, and environmental firms to ensure a successfully completed loan transaction.

We help clients secure PACE loans to pay for new heating and cooling systems, lighting improvements, solar panels, wind energy systems, structural repairs, insulation, and more for almost any property – commercial, industrial, non-profit, or agricultural. To learn more about the benefits of this readily available source of financing, see PACE Financing.
