Broker & Referral Partners

Your Clients Get Funded.
You Get Paid. Fast.

We work with commercial mortgage brokers, residential agents, financial advisors, and CPAs across Texas. When your client needs a commercial loan we can close, you earn a referral fee at closing — no license required.

💵

Referral Fees at Closing

Paid directly to you at closing. No waiting, no invoices. We handle all paperwork.

⚡

Fast Answers, No Runaround

You get a direct line to the decision-maker. Term sheet in 24–48 hours, not 2 weeks.

🤝

We Never Poach Your Client

Your relationship stays yours. We close the deal and you stay in the loop the whole way.

📋

No License Required

Referral arrangements are available to anyone in Texas. CPAs, attorneys, agents — all welcome.

🏢

All Property Types

Office, retail, industrial, multifamily, mixed-use, land, hard money — we cover all of it.

🔒

Direct Lender = Real Answers

You deal with the decision-maker, not a chain. We underwrite in-house, so we know immediately if we can close.

Step 01

Send Us the Deal

Email or call with the property address, loan amount, and what the borrower needs. Takes 2 minutes.

Step 02

We Respond in 24 Hours

You get a preliminary term sheet or a clear "no" — never left wondering. No wasted client time.

Step 03

We Close the Deal

We handle everything from here. You stay copied on key milestones so your client stays happy with you.

Step 04

You Get Paid

Referral fee wired at closing. Simple, clean, and no paperwork headaches on your end.

"I had a client with a $1.2M warehouse purchase that kept getting turned down by conventional lenders. Sent it to Commercial Loans of Texas on a Friday — had a term sheet Monday morning. Closed in 19 days. My client was thrilled and I had a new referral source for life."

— Commercial real estate agent, Houston TX

Send Us Your Next Deal

No obligation. We'll tell you in 24 hours if we can close it, what the rate looks like, and what your referral fee would be. Most brokers send us 3–4 deals a month once they see how fast we move.

Foreign National Commercial Loans

Yes — we lend to foreign nationals on Texas commercial property.

You do not need U.S. citizenship, a green card, a Social Security number or a U.S. credit file to own commercial real estate here. Texas places no restriction on foreign ownership. We have been financing commercial property since 1998 and we lend in 43 states.

🏢

Commercial, not just rentals

Office, retail, industrial, warehouse, mixed‑use, multifamily, land and ground‑up construction — the same programmes we write for domestic borrowers.

📄

Passport ID, no SSN

A valid passport identifies you. An ITIN helps but is not required on every programme. No U.S. tax returns and no U.S. credit score are needed to start a file.

🏢

Hold personally or in a U.S. entity

Most international buyers use a U.S. LLC for liability and estate planning. We work with either structure and will tell you which the lender prefers before you form anything.

💰

The property carries the loan

We underwrite the asset and the deal — value, income, exit — rather than a domestic credit history you have not had the chance to build yet.

1

Tell us the property and the plan

Address, purchase price or value, what it earns or will earn, and your timeline. That is enough for us to say yes, no, or "here is what would change it" — usually same day.

2

Identification and funds

Passport, proof of the down payment and its source, and a banking reference. Funds held outside the U.S. are normal and not a problem; we will tell you what the lender needs to see.

3

A U.S. bank account before closing

The loan needs a U.S. account for the wire and the monthly payment. If you do not have one yet, say so early — it is the single most common reason a foreign national closing slips.

4

Terms in writing

You get the structure, the costs and the conditions on paper before you commit to anything. Rates move daily, so call for today's rate rather than trusting a number on a web page.

Minimum loan $200,000. That includes a loan at exactly $200,000. There is no stated maximum — bring the deal and we will size it. Working with a broker or an adviser overseas is fine; so is coming to us directly.
How It Works

From First Call to Funded:
Our 5-Step Loan Process

We've closed Texas commercial loans in as few as 7 business days. Here's exactly how the process works — and why we move faster than any bank you've tried.

1
Day 1 — Same Day

Submit Your Deal

Fill out our one-page application or call us directly. We need the basics: property address, purchase price or loan amount, property type, and your exit strategy (or refinance goal). No financials required at this stage.

We personally review every submission. You won't deal with a junior processor or an automated system.

1-page applicationNo financials yetSame-day review
2
Day 1–2 — Within 24 Hours

Term Sheet Issued

We issue a non-binding term sheet with proposed loan amount, rate, LTV, and term. This is a real answer from a real decision-maker — not a "we'll get back to you" after a committee meeting.

If the deal needs structure (e.g., different LTV, IO period, partial release provisions), we discuss it now — not after you've spent $2,000 on an appraisal.

Rate + LTV + termDirect from the lenderNegotiable structure
3
Days 3–7 — Underwriting

Property Underwriting & Due Diligence

We order a third-party appraisal (or desktop BPO for smaller deals) and review property condition, title, rent rolls, and market comps. For income-producing properties, we underwrite to DSCR — not personal income.

We work in parallel with your attorney and title company. Most commercial lenders work sequentially — we don't. That's how we cut weeks off the timeline.

Appraisal orderedTitle reviewDSCR underwritingParallel processing
4
Days 7–12 — Approval

Loan Commitment Letter

Once underwriting is complete, we issue a firm loan commitment letter — the binding agreement that says we will fund this loan at these terms. No more surprises at the closing table.

Conventional banks issue commitments only after 30–60 days of processing. Our commitment comes in week two — giving you time to negotiate, satisfy contingencies, or plan your rehab.

Binding commitmentFixed termsNo last-minute changes
5
Days 10–21 — Closing

Close & Fund

We coordinate directly with your title company to schedule closing. Funds wire the day of closing. Most of our loans close in 2–3 weeks total — some faster when the property and title are clean.

We remain your lender for the life of the loan. No loan servicing transfers. Same contact, same terms, same relationship — whether you're in month 3 or year 5.

Why I Started Commercial Loans of Texas

I've been in Texas commercial lending since the early 1990s — through the S&L crisis, the dot-com bust, 2008, COVID, and the rate spike of 2022–2023. I've seen every market cycle, and I've funded deals that banks walked away from in every single one of them.

What frustrated me about working inside large institutions was the bureaucracy. A small business owner with a great deal and real equity would get declined because of a DTI ratio calculated off a W-2 they didn't have. A real estate investor with 15 profitable rentals couldn't get loan #16 because of Fannie Mae's arbitrary 10-property cap.

I started Commercial Loans of Texas to be the lender I wished existed when I was a borrower. No committee. No 60-day wait for a "no." No junior underwriters who've never seen a real property. Just a direct decision from someone who's been doing this for three decades.

We focus exclusively on Texas because I know this market. I know what DFW cap rates look like in a correction. I know which Houston submarkets hold value. I know the Texas foreclosure process cold. That local knowledge is what lets me say yes faster and with more confidence than any out-of-state lender can.

My Lending Philosophy

"The most important thing in commercial lending isn't the borrower's credit score — it's the deal. A great property with strong equity and a clear exit strategy is fundable. I've said yes to borrowers with 580 credit scores on deals banks wouldn't touch, and I've said no to borrowers with 780 scores on deals that didn't make sense. The property is the collateral. That's what I underwrite."

What Our Borrowers Say

Real Google reviews, word for word, from people we have closed loans for. 4.8 out of 5 from 38 Google reviews.

★★★★★
“Let me just start by saying that the only reason I give him five stars is because there is no higher. Daniel Peterson is one of the most honest and transparent person I have ever dealt with. Getting me a refinance was not going be easy but right from the start he gave it his all. Just as we would hit bumps he would not give up. He would look for other ways and would always stay motivated to make it happen. Just as I thought that it wasn’t going to get done. He would pull out the rabbit from the hat, as the old saying goes, all the way to the end. If you are ever in need of a refinance or to purchase another home or anything in this field trust me you will not be disappointed with him. I truly say if he can’t do it it’s probably because it cannot be done but if he does he will find a way.”
