Andrew M. Levin
Solo broker model means Andrew handles every file personally with no handoffs to juniors or call centers
Why customers pick Andrew M. Levin
  • 28 years of experience and all-50-state licensing provides deep market knowledge and regulatory expertise
  • Access to 100+ lender relationships (bank, non-bank, agency, conduit, private) offers unmatched optionality for complex commercial deals
  • Direct principal-to-principal service model—clients work with Andrew personally, not a junior or call center
  • Comprehensive commercial product suite from SBA to bridge to CMBS to construction, covering the full investment lifecycle
  • Fast execution (term sheets in 48 hours, bridge closings in 10 days) competitive with direct lenders despite broker model
When to consider alternatives
  • Solo operation means limited bandwidth—no team to handle volume surges or provide redundancy if Andrew is unavailable
  • Not a direct lender, so cannot match the speed or simplicity of portfolio lenders on straightforward residential investor deals
  • No consumer-facing residential purchase or refinance programs (FHA, VA, conventional) for homebuyers
  • Website lacks detailed pricing transparency or online rate quotes that some direct lenders provide
  • Smaller brand footprint and digital presence compared to national competitors may limit discoverability in AI-driven search
