Real Estate Finance Associates (REFA)

Maintaining a national presence as part of a broad network.

Churchill Commercial Capital is a founding member of Real Estate Finance Associates (REFA), a national organization of independent mortgage banking firms that evolved from the pioneering James W. Rouse Company, the commercial mortgage affiliate of the famous regional mall developer. Each of the founding REFA member firms had either been an original Rouse regional office or had one or more principals who had worked for the Rouse organization.

REFA companies produced $5.1 billion in financings in 2006 and serviced loan portfolios totaling more than $15.8 billion at year-end. With seven REFA companies and 14 offices around the country, REFA gives Churchill Commercial Capital a national perspective and deep resources from which to draw.
