What was your most notable project, deal, transaction or professional achievement in 2018?

We closed sixty new loans this year which is a record for Emerald Creek. But what we’re most proud of is the fact that 25% of this year’s closings were to repeat borrowers.  Having this much repeat business is a reflection of how we treat our clients.
