With 30+ years of commercial lending background, we have a good feel for what is and is not comfortable for lenders. Experience suggests the involvement of an effective advisor adds comfort to a lender and increases cooperation.

Our senior level contacts and familiarity with financial institutions of varying sizes and lending preferences, expedites the selection process and helps assure that client requirements are properly matched to lender culture.

Avalon's role goes beyond simply arranging introductions; we are prepared to assist in preparation, structuring, documentation and negotiation. While price is obviously a key factor, we believe that advice on such matters as covenant parameters, structure and lender "full disclosure" is equally important.

If an assignment involves commercial real estate we are acquainted with established firms familiar to national lenders offering fixed rate, non-recourse financing.
