About Herzer Financial Services

What We Do

Herzer Financial Services, Inc. (HFS) offers private real estate loans for consumers and real estate investors located in California. We make ground-up construction loans, fix and flips, bridge loans, consumer loans, commercial, refinance, and purchase money loans. A significant percentage of real estate loans—such as fix and flips—rely on private money funding, as banks consider them unnecessarily risky. That’s where we come in. Typically, Herzer Financial Services provides loans up to $3M and up to five-year terms.

We are headquartered in Redwood City in the San Francisco Bay area and remain an active member of the California Mortgage Association, an organization dedicated to promoting education and excellence in the private lending .

History

Herzer Financial Services has provided borrowers unsurpassed service in the private money real estate lending field since its founding in 1950 by Fred Herzer, Jr. Over time, we’ve earned a reputation for helping borrowers leverage their real estate holdings with creative, efficient and flexible loan programs. Herzer Financial Services has been owned and operated by David Herzer since 1995.

Top-Tier Service & Pricing

Ensuring that each customer receives quick and reliable service is an integral part of the Herzer Financial Services mission. That’s why the majority of our borrowers come to us from loan broker referrals and word of mouth. In fact, some of our borrowers have worked with us for over a decade.

Herzer Financial Services invites you to join our ever-increasing list of satisfied borrowers who’ve made us the go-to choice for loans in the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento area, and many of California’s urban centers.

Investors

Herzer Financial Services services only the loans it originates, ones that showcase our expertise in construction and commercial loan servicing. We confirm property taxes and insurance are paid, and collect the monthly loan payments, which are disbursed to investors on the 15th of each month. In the rare event of a default, Herzer Financial Services handles the foreclosure process from start to finish, including disposition of the property.

We have two Mortgage Funds created to hold portfolios of loans we originate and service. These Funds are active and performing well, but are open only to accredited investors. All of the Funds are private offerings under Reg D, and are Limited Liability Corporations. One of the existing Funds holds a California Finance Lender’s license issued by the California Department of Business Oversight.
