Meet the Real Estate Investors Funding Your Deals
Real-world operators. Deal-tested partners. The team behind REI Transactional knows what it takes to get your transaction across the finish line because we’ve done it ourselves.
When it comes to transactional funding, your timeline is tight, and your reputation’s on the line. You don’t have time for delays, disappearances, or decision fatigue.
At REI Transactional, we don’t just say we fund fast. We’ve built our business—and our team—to prove it.
We’re operators first. Which means we understand what it’s like to be in the middle of a deal with time running out, a buyer on the hook, and no room for error. We’ve been the ones jumping on calls after hours. Wiring funds from a highway shoulder to get a deal across the finish line. Advising wholesalers on better ways to structure closings — even when it meant they didn’t need us that time.
Because we’re not just here for the deal.
We’re here for your next one, too.
Loren Wernette, Founder
Built for Speed. Driven by Results
Loren didn’t set out to start another funding company — he set out to solve a problem. After seeing too many wholesalers get burned by slow approvals, surprise fees, and unreliable lenders, he knew the model had to change.
So he built REI Double Close to move differently.
With over a decade in real estate investing and deal-making, Loren has funded 500+ wholesale and double-close transactions — often within 24 hours. He’s known for picking up the phone, cutting through red tape, and showing up when it counts.
“I’ve pulled over on the highway to wire funds before the cutoff. Why? Because time kills deals — and our clients know we’ll show up.”
Zak Kornblum, Founder & CFO,
Financial Strategy Meets Real-World Execution
Zach brings deep experience in finance and capital management to the REI Double Close team. With a background in financial modeling and risk analysis, he ensures our funding approach isn’t just fast — it’s sound.
Zach’s focus? Structuring deals that benefit everyone involved: the borrower, the buyer, and the business.
“Funding should support your growth, not slow it down. We’ve built our process to do exactly that.”
Tim Harvilla, Business Development
Relationship-Driven. Results-Focused.
Tim’s specialty is bridging the gap between high-pressure deals and the funding that makes them possible. With boots-on-the-ground experience in real estate development and private lending, Tim knows what it takes to get a deal closed and what kind of partner helps.
“We don’t just want your deal. We want your trust. And we’ll earn it by delivering every time.”
