Lending Simplicity
For 30A
Welcome to
Walton Funding
Walton Funding was formed with the intent of bringing our borrowers the most favorable lending terms available in the market. We specialize in finding solutions that don't meet standard agency criteria.
Our qualified borrowers have transparent access to wholesale rates, giving them some of the best rates available in the industry. Walton Funding also can bring multiple funding sources to our borrowers, allowing us to build programs and find solutions that are not available at traditional banks.
“Kav, Robert and their team have now helped us with two separate transactions. We have found them to be creative, prompt and very helpful. Will use them again!”
