“We are very excited about the business and talent that is coming with this transaction,” noted Beth O’Brien, Founder and CEO of CoreVest. “We are at a pivotal time in the short-term lending market where significant construction experience is a strong positive differentiator for lending partners. Black Square has that expertise.”

“We see the combination as immediately accretive, both to our clients and the company,” commented Christopher Hoeffel, CFO of CoreVest. “The Black Square addition allows CoreVest to expand our product offerings with single asset bridge lending, ‘fix and flip’ renovation loans, construction lending and short-term lines of credit.” Ryan McBride, CoreVest COO, added, “The expanded team will allow us to provide superior service to our borrowers, making CoreVest a single source for all the financing needs of residential real estate investors.”
