Our Leadership

Foundation CREF (“Foundation”) led by real estate finance and investment professionals, Chris Crovatto, John Seeburger, and Patrick McClain. The Foundation team is dedicated to building a fully integrated lending and property acquisition platform for the single-family rental and fix and flip investment community.

Chris and John have worked together for over 20 years building loan origination and underwriting platforms at Bank of America, Heller Financial, GE Capital, GMAC Commercial Mortgage, Capmark, and Babcock & Brown. Together, they have been directly responsible for over $3 billion in loan transactions on properties ranging from single-family homes to complex commercial portfolios totaling hundreds of millions.
