We work on transactions of varying complexities and size, involving senior, mezzanine and subordinated debt elements, ranging in size from a few million to in excess of $500 million.

Our team of timeshare and resort finance experts has represented lenders in more than $2.5 billion in aggregate funding and commitments. We have earned a national reputation for assisting clients with documenting hypothecation lines of credit, presale and pre-deed lines of credit, inventory financing, acquisition financing, fee-for-service transactions and resort development financing.
