Our team

Better people make better lending

We lend billions of dollars to commercial real estate projects every year. But it’s not just capital that distinguishes us. It’s the empowered nature of our workforce. Our advisors are experienced experts whose sole focus is to deliver financing strategies that enable you to achieve greater success.

Our Better Lending culture – three decades in the making – is built on the skill that comes from pure mortgage lending. Because we start from a position of knowledge about you, your project, and your market, we can design solutions that are fit for your purpose. And because accountability is in our nature, we meet our commitments.

Better by design, better by nature, better for you in every corner of the country.

Diligent. Accurate. Purposeful.

“I add value by integrating accuracy and open communication into the underwriting process and maintaining strong client relationships.”

Alison brings 19 years of commercial real estate expertise to her role as Senior Analyst. She has worked for both a commercial brokerage and lender, so she understands all facets of a transaction, from underwriting to funding. A self-described hard worker, Alison dedicates herself to getting the job done right and providing exceptional service every step along the way. If issues do arise, she works diligently to find a solution and presents options in a timely manner. Alison prides herself on her accuracy, especially when handling multiple deals at once.

When she’s not adding value for First National borrowers, Alison spends time with her two daughters, loses herself in a novel, travels and taps her creative side with scrapbooking.
