No warehouse line setting our credit box, no takeout investor whose guidelines your deal has to fit. When a file needs a judgment call, we make it.
You speak with a principal from the first call through the wire. The person who prices your deal is the person who approves it.
Once we have all the information we need, we can price your deal the same day. If the answer is no, you hear it on the first call, not the third week.
Domus Lending Group was founded by cousins Maximiliano Extrakt and Paul Garzon, who managed a $1.5B loan portfolio before moving to the origination side of the business. More about Domus Lending.
Real feedback from real estate investors who trust Domus Lending with their deals.
"I've worked with a handful of hard money lenders over the years, and Domus is on a different level. Maxi walked me through the whole deal structure on a Saturday afternoon — no one does that. Closed my fix-and-flip in 9 days. I don't call anyone else."
Isaac C.
Miami, FL • Fix & Flip Investor
"Paul caught something in my numbers that would've killed my margins before we even got to closing. That's not a lender, that's a partner. The process was seamless, everything was online, and they kept me updated the entire time. Highly recommend Domus to any serious investor."
Elias C.
Miami, FL • Real Estate Investor
"I came to Maxi with a deal that had a tight deadline — 11 days to close or my client was losing his deposit. He made it happen. The whole process was organized, fast, and honestly stress-free considering what was at stake."
Bernie R.
Charlotte, NC • Real Estate Investor
"What sets Domus apart is that they actually understand real estate investing. Paul wasn't just processing a loan — he was giving me feedback on my ARV assumptions and pointing out things I hadn't considered. That kind of guidance is priceless, especially on a ground-up project."
