OUR STORY
An owner first. A lender since 1998.
Chris Anderson - Founder & CEO
Chris Anderson grew up in Dorchester and bought his first investment property at 21. In 1993 he co-founded Greater Boston Management, a property management company, and spent the years that followed buying, building and managing property across Greater Boston, learning the business one building at a time.
He started lending in 1998 and founded Boston Trust Corp in 2000. The reason was personal. As an investor, he had watched good deals die because the lender was too slow, too rigid, or didn't understand Boston. So he built the lender he had needed.
Since then, Chris has funded more than $1 billion in loans secured by real estate, through four market cycles. He still owns and manages income property through affiliated companies, has taken projects through the City of Boston permitting process, and still approves every loan we make. When you bring us a deal, you're talking to someone who has stood where you stand.
“We don't broker loans and we don't resell them. When Boston Trust commits, the transaction closes — because we are the money.”
— Chris Anderson, Founder & CEO

Loans are for business and investment purposes only. All financing is subject to underwriting and credit approval. Nothing on this page is a commitment to lend.
HOW WE LEND
What a direct lender does differently.
We're a hard money and private lender, not a broker. You'll notice it in four ways.
Direct decisions
Your loan is underwritten in-house and decided by the people you talk to. No committee, no outside investor sign-off.
Speed you can plan on
Written terms within 24 hours, and a loan that closes in 3 to 10 days.
Local knowledge
We lend only in Massachusetts. We underwrite the building, the block and the exit, because we've owned and managed the same kinds of property.
Our own balance sheet
Every loan is funded with our capital and held in our portfolio. What we propose is what you close on.
BY THE NUMBERS
A track record built deal by deal.
Loans from $100,000 to $5,000,000 on residential, multifamily and commercial property.
