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.

Team Selles

Operational perspective. Reliable funding. Passionate pioneers.

Jesse has been at First National since 2012. He has strong roots in the backend of the business (servicing, renewals, underwriting). As a result, he brings the value of a broad operational perspective to his clients out west. Having lived and breathed the execution side of deals, Jesse has the foresight to anticipate issues and knows what it takes to mitigate them. When engaging with clients and building relationships, Jesse combines seamless execution capability with a deep understanding of clients and their portfolios. He is incredibly enthusiastic about the opportunity to help build First National’s presence in the western market and shape that legacy. With a passion for city building, urban planning and development, Jesse is committed to the hard work and dedicated to the transparency required to solidify his reputation as a reliable funding partner. As the team grows and realizes success, it means that clients are growing and realizing success as well. The urban development that Jesse helps to propel will directly reflect the team’s development and First National’s entrenchment in a growing and dynamic market.
