President and Owner

Kerry Smith

I entered the loan business in 1981. During that time I have been a loan officer, a wholesale representative, managed a group of wholesale originators and a partner in a company doing retail mortgage originations.

In December of 1995 I started my own company. I wanted to create a company that focused on customer service. Our philosophy centered on taking care of our employees. We believed that the relationship between how our employees were treated would be reflected in how they took care of our customers. It worked. We started with three people and built the company to the point of doing 5,773 loans in 1997. We accomplished this by closing loans in 14 calendar days while our competitors were taking 30 days or more. We made good loans with an extremely low default rate. I sold that company in January of 1998. Many of the years following were spent travelling, consulting, mentoring and playing golf.

In 2007, I started CLOANC (Commercial Loan Corporation). Much like my prior company, my desire was to form a business that would take care of my employees and benefit the lives of our clients. I am proud of what we have been able to accomplish over the years. We have become one of the most respected Trust & Estate lenders in California and have helped thousands of clients. I put together what I consider an “all-star” team to provide the best service in the business.
