Borrower Testimonials
"“I am Moe Ebrahimi, a real estate developer, and general contractor in San Diego. We buy dilapidated real estate assets and add more units and space for residential rentals. Fidelis is extremely competent in analyzing the numbers. I really appreciate dealing with professional people it gives you a sense of security, and you feel comfortable talking to them about your projects, and you know you're not going to get judged. I definitely recommend Fidelis. I love Fidelis, John and all his crew.”
I am Nate Winnett, a real estate developer. I am here at one of our projects in Point Loma, getting ready to build a couple of Additional Dwelling Units (ADU’s). I work with John at Fidelis, and working with them is a very easy, great process. They are a huge part of our construction business, and I highly recommend John and his team at Fidelis.
"I am Daniel Shkolnik, Founder and CEO of Atlas West Group. I was introduced to Fidelis Private Fund and John through a close mutual friend and they have been absolutely essential to the core of our business. I have worked with a lot of developers, a lot of funds, a lot of different banks and funding institutions throughout my career and one thing that really differentiates Fidelis from everybody else is execution. Working with John and his team you know things are going to get done, and get done right. I worked with plenty of lenders where we had great conversations. There's all this enigma and then the docs come out and never match what we discussed. I've done deals with Fidelis where we haven't even run and LOI and we get docs and it's exactly what we discussed. They are honest, transparent and they get deals done and better than anything, they are out of the box thinkers. They will sit down to help you think and help empower your business. I would highly recommend Fidelis for any of your bridge money, hard money, creative financing needs. They have an honest, transparent and reliable process."
"My name is Mike Corless, and I own a construction & remodeling company known as BuildTech. I have been in business for thirty years. Without Allan Paranada and John Lloyd, I couldn’t succeed in this business. They respond quickly, and they are reliable. When I need an LOI, I get it often within hours of the request. I had a loan request where John and Allan showed up the same day, and I had approval. I highly recommend Fidelis, John, and Allan; they are a great person to have on your team."
"I have worked with John Lloyd for 15 years, and he has funded 30 to 40 loans for me. It's amazing how he has been able to help me close deals. Recently on a deal, I had to close in 10 days with no contingencies, and Fidelis was able to close the deal. I highly recommend Fidelis and John Lloyd. I can’t imagine how much money I have made through the years dealing with John. The process is so streamlined, and especially once you get to know John and we trust each other, everything goes so smooth. I am grateful.”
"I first met Allan Paranada and John Lloyd several years ago when I was buying a commercial building. With their help, I was able to finance it, and I made a lot of money. They were straight forward and very fast and got the job done. I snowballed that deal into other properties. I have also referred them to other clients who also had similar experiences as mine. I would highly recommend Fidelis to anyone who is purchasing real estate and needs financing. I trust them, and they did a really good job for me."
"I can't speak highly enough of John Lloyd. This recent property was completely distressed. We came in all cash and closed the escrow in less than 14 days. It was a burnt down unit. We built the foundation and roof, all brand new. The foundation was sinking, had settling issues, and fire in the middle. The roof was missing, windows were boarded up. We went after it. We did everything. John helped out. We've done a number of loans together the past ten or eleven years. He came in clean, great terms, quick close, no issues, which I knew it would be and why I didn't call anyone else. He came in quick, walked the property, quick decision to go for it, and gave the green light. We funded less than two weeks later within the contract terms. I work with John for a couple of reasons. First, and primarily I need assurance of closing. When I come in and walk the property I need to act as if I'm closing this thing with all cash, no hiccups, no worries. I've worked with John and we've done about 8 to 10 loans together. Never had an issue. Every one has closed. He's always on time. Great team, great staff and they communicate well."

As a real estate broker, I am always looking for a lender who not only can perform but will always protect my interest. John Lloyd at Fidelis does a fantastic job getting the real estate loans funded I need and making it easy with no hassle. What's different about John from other primate money lenders, John values relationship over the transaction and is in it for the long-term. If you are a broker and want a lender you can trust call John at Fidelis.
I've closed several deals with John Lloyd, and each time he has performed quickly and as promised. Having a lending relationship I can trust will perform has been a tremendous help to my business. I would and have recommended John Lloyd and Fidelis for anyone seeking private financing.
John Lloyd is one of the rare lenders who truly 'gets it,' where his knowledge and experience allow him to intelligently underwrite a property I have financed multiple properties with John that required an extremely tight timeline. Each time John has come through on time and with the terms he had promised.
The loan was made to finish up a multimillion dollar home in point Loma. Literally two weeks after funding the home in Point Loma went under contract for 2,950,000 with a 90 day closing. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with people who can think outside the box.
