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 McAuley

Reliable resource. Authoritatively accurate. Sensible advisors.

The team of Dru McAuley, Will Hunter and Peter Rajaram operate from one core foundational philosophy: if it’s commercial real estate and it makes sense, they will do everything possible to find a funding solution that benefits the borrower. Team McAuley has a stable of steady clients who have benefitted from this philosophy, and discovered much more along the way – thorough research, authoritative analysis, sensible advice and productive solutions. For Dru, Will and Peter it is vital to speak the client’s language and consistently be a reliable resource. Committed to educating from a credible position of authority and accuracy, the team digs into information and does research that the client doesn’t often expect. They approach due diligence as if they were the borrowers themselves, advising clients from the perspective of, “what am I trying to achieve and what is the most efficient way to get there?” Relationships are long term and evolving. It’s never just one deal. And once a deal funds, the file is still considered active. They are consistently available and work just as hard to address issues, advise clients and provide solutions about the most recent deal, real estate in general or other business matters. Fully invested in every relationship and every deal, Dru, Will and Peter make a commitment to all clients: nobody will work harder for you in generating the ideas and solutions that move your business forward.
