Formerly known as LendingHome, Kiavi is committed to helping its customers revitalize the approximately $25 trillion worth of aged U.S. housing stock to provide move-in ready homes and rental housing for millions of Americans across the country. Traditional lenders rely on human decision-makers and paper-based processes. At Kiavi, our modern tech platform removes many traditional barriers, automates time-consuming manual steps and provides quick decisioning and true transparency throughout the entire process. With a wide range of bridge and rental funding options to choose from, Kiavi’s team of experts can create a personalized solution for our customer's investment strategy. Homeownership has always been an important part of American life. But now, just as Millennials are hitting the peak age for buying their first homes, fewer new homes are being built. In fact, today there are 33%1 fewer new homes constructed than just 15 years ago. Over 65 percent of the U.S. housing stock is more than 30 years old and in need of upgrading and renovating. And as the demand for move-in-ready homes continues to grow, residential real estate investors are needed more than ever. Kiavi is committed and proud to support today’s real estate investors in their efforts to revitalize these aged homes and provide move-in-ready homes and rental housing. NMLS ID #1125207.

Zach, Mari, and the team stepped in and saved the day in a crunch! 2 previous lenders couldn’t deliver on the terms they promised and we had one day left before closing. From my first conversation with Zach he made me feel comfortable that we’d get to the finish line and QUICKLY. The process was seamless and the team was very responsive the entire time. We ended up closing within a week! Looking forward to many more deals with Kiavi!

Maria Barnes and the rest of the team at Kiavi have been giving me an exceptional experience. From the speed for a clear to close to adjusting numbers that suit my needs. You guys are absolutely awesome! Time and time again you guys prove your worth. My loyalty is strengthened after every one of our transactions

Had the pleasure of working with Zach Berry on my 3rd loan with Kiavi. What made this loan different was that I didn’t use a broker and tried to deal with Kiavi myself. At first I was nervous about how the process would go but Zach made it easier for me to process the loan than it was when I used a broker. Zach answered the phone every time I called and every one of my questions. It couldn’t have went any smoother and we closed in 14 days! Thanks for all your help and hard work Zach!

Kiavi is great to work with, they make the lending process easy and quick. Greg Deverts just went above and beyond on the loan I just closed on, he really made the whole process as stress-free as possible.

Kiavi is my number one lender for all my real estate projects. I know what to expect and when to expect it. Very transparent process and our account manager, Haley is fantastic. It's hard to use other lenders after working with Kiavi.

Second deal with Kiavi and my Customer Experience Manager, Maria Barnes and both transactions with Kiavi & Maria have been nothing short of amazing! Maria’s attention to detail and communication has been consistently outstanding and has encouraged me to come back to work with Kiavi a second time and as many other times in the future as possible. Maria epitomizes what relationship building and brand loyalty is about!! I wish to also highlight the Loan Analyst, Robert Rector that worked with us this time around. He is extremely efficient and his turnaround time and response to emails are always precise and expeditious. Something I have truly appreciated! 5 Star experience! Will return and continue to tell as many colleagues as I can about this service.
