Company History

Jim Lackey Associates has been helping clients obtain financing for a wide variety of needs since 2005. In most instances, all parties involved benefited from our efforts: borrowers received funds for loans that needed funding, investors received above-market interest, and our firm was compensated for its efforts. It should be noted that while the vast majority of our loans had favorable outcomes, not all loans we facilitated ended as anticipated. Some were casualties of the market downturn; a few investors lost money. Following is a chronology of loans arranged by Jim Lackey Associates, starting with the most recent and going back to our inception in 2005.

"I met Jim while in the midst of working to close a complex real estate deal in Rancho Santa Fe. Jim was a consummate professional from the time we met till the close of the deal and beyond. He provided guidance to navigate the deal, was successful in connecting me with a lender and made it a point to make the personal connection between me and the lender. Since the close of the deal, Jim has taken a genuine interest in the project. He continues to follow up with me and my team on the status of the project. Jim has gone out of his way to make introductions to subcontractors, personally check in on the job, and help in any way he can. To say it's been a pleasure to work with Jim would be an understatement. I have no reservations whatsoever about recommending him."
