What Is a Private Money Broker?
A private money broker acts as a connector between real estate investors who need fast capital and private lenders who have it. You don't need to lend your own money — you simply find qualified borrowers, refer them to Crystal Capital, and earn a commission when the deal closes.
Crystal Capital's broker certification program teaches you exactly how to find investors, qualify their deals, and submit them to our underwriting team. We handle the rest.
