Borrower Testimonials
"Hi, I'm Mario Teran, and I've been in the real estate game for 30+ years! Through the highs and lows, I've learned that opportunity often shows up in the toughest times. Back in the Great Recession, deals were everywhere – you could throw a dart at the listings board and hit a winner! But the real challenge? Lenders vanished. That’s when I met John Lloyd – a steady hand who helped me close on a single-family project when few others could. Fast forward to today, and John (and Fidelis) is helping me again – this time, building units on the very same property we started with! Trust. Reliability. Consistency. That’s John Lloyd and Fidelis."

"We went through it all — but then found John Lloyd and his incredible team in San Diego! John got our loan done in just 1 week and 3 days — even working weekends! Now they're officially homeowners and beyond grateful. Huge thanks to Fidelis Private Fund for making the impossible, possible! Highly recommend!"

"Me and my wife Melina had plans to build an ADU. The problem was, we didn't have the funds to do such a project. Then I had a friend tell me to call Allan. He was able to get me and my wife the loan we needed to build our ADU and junior ADU. Working with Allan was very easy and very nice and most importantly he was able to get us the loan. We will definitely work with Allan again and we highly recommend him and his team to all."

"I wanted to thank Allan, John, and Fidelis for helping me finish up my ADU. I couldn't have done it without you guys so we really appreciate that. We have a 741 square foot, 2 bedroom, 2 bath unit. We would never have been able to complete this without your help."

"“I am Moe Ebrahimi, a real estate developer, and general contractor in San Diego. We buy dilapidated real estate assets and add more units and space for residential rentals. Fidelis is extremely competent in analyzing the numbers. I really appreciate dealing with professional people it gives you a sense of security, and you feel comfortable talking to them about your projects, and you know you're not going to get judged. I definitely recommend Fidelis. I love Fidelis, John and all his crew.”
I am Nate Winnett, a real estate developer. I am here at one of our projects in Point Loma, getting ready to build a couple of Additional Dwelling Units (ADU’s). I work with John at Fidelis, and working with them is a very easy, great process. They are a huge part of our construction business, and I highly recommend John and his team at Fidelis.
"I am Daniel Shkolnik, Founder and CEO of Atlas West Group. I was introduced to Fidelis Private Fund and John through a close mutual friend and they have been absolutely essential to the core of our business. I have worked with a lot of developers, a lot of funds, a lot of different banks and funding institutions throughout my career and one thing that really differentiates Fidelis from everybody else is execution. Working with John and his team you know things are going to get done, and get done right. I worked with plenty of lenders where we had great conversations. There's all this enigma and then the docs come out and never match what we discussed. I've done deals with Fidelis where we haven't even run and LOI and we get docs and it's exactly what we discussed. They are honest, transparent and they get deals done and better than anything, they are out of the box thinkers. They will sit down to help you think and help empower your business. I would highly recommend Fidelis for any of your bridge money, hard money, creative financing needs. They have an honest, transparent and reliable process."

As a real estate broker, I am always looking for a lender who not only can perform but will always protect my interest. John Lloyd at Fidelis does a fantastic job getting the real estate loans funded I need and making it easy with no hassle. What's different about John from other primate money lenders, John values relationship over the transaction and is in it for the long-term. If you are a broker and want a lender you can trust call John at Fidelis.
I've closed several deals with John Lloyd, and each time he has performed quickly and as promised. Having a lending relationship I can trust will perform has been a tremendous help to my business. I would and have recommended John Lloyd and Fidelis for anyone seeking private financing.
John Lloyd is one of the rare lenders who truly 'gets it,' where his knowledge and experience allow him to intelligently underwrite a property I have financed multiple properties with John that required an extremely tight timeline. Each time John has come through on time and with the terms he had promised.
The loan was made to finish up a multimillion dollar home in point Loma. Literally two weeks after funding the home in Point Loma went under contract for 2,950,000 with a 90 day closing. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with people who can think outside the box.
