Although it was founded relatively recently, in 2017, the Investment Property Loan Exchange already serves 39 U.S. states.

“We needed a way to organize our approach towards serving our clients in the various stages of the life cycle of that relationship.”
Damon clarifies, “Someone might be a prospect for a time. The next phase is working on the proposal for them and after they’ve accepted the proposal, the next step is working on an active loan exchange.” Damon explains that in the past, he used Salesforce. However, the tool didn’t meet his expectations, he says, “Salesforce was not a good fit. I never liked it because it was too generic and not customizable without significant development work.”“Salesforce was not a good fit.
