William Tessar Launches CV3 Financial Services

CV3 Financial Services, LLC, has officially launched. The company is a private lender, providing financing for fix-and-flip and rental properties to real estate investors in more than 20 states. CV3 was founded by William J. Tessar, former President of CIVIC Financial Services.

Mr. Tessar is joined by an executive leadership team, along with 150 operations, business support staff and originators, that represent 90% of their predecessor firm’s 2022 loan production of $3 billion. Together, this group has originated and funded more than $10 billion in private money loans over the last five years.

“What began as a vision by the most decorated leadership team in the industry, of what a private lender could and should be, is an organization with unmatched integrity, trusted expertise, and deep operational support to best serve our clients’ needs,” said Tessar, CEO and President of CV3.

“We are a powerhouse team that together built and scaled the leading private lender in the industry,” Tessar continued. “People believe in what we’ve built and what we stand for, and our culture has been based on excellence and integrity at its core. It’s this heritage that defines us and what we are doing today.”

·        Merced Cohen, Executive Vice President, Operations

·        Alan Dettelbach, Executive Vice President, General Counsel

·        Matt Flores, Executive Vice President, Digital Innovation
