Commercial Property Finance for Brokers: How to Settle Deals Faster

Credit Connect Group, CCG

In today's competitive lending market, settlement speed can make or break a broker's success. Traditional banks are slow, constrained by red tape and conservative credit appetites. Meanwhile, client expectations are higher than ever. Brokers who can secure commercial property finance quickly position themselves as indispensable partners. 

This is where private lending for brokers and non-bank commercial loans are changing the landscape. 

Fast, flexible, short-term finance lenders such as CCG offer fast, property-backed approvals and deal structures that match real-world client needs. Conditional approvals often come within 24 to 48 hours, with some settlements even achievable in under a week. First mortgage finance solutions support urgent purchases, delayed refinances, equity releases and interim funding ahead of construction finance. They also offer a streamlined path to refinance residual stock without lengthy reassessments.

How Private Lending Helps Brokers Close Deals


Private lenders focus on asset value and viable exits, not exhaustive verification of income as traditional banks do. In this context, Brokers gain the ability to place clients with non-traditional income sources or unique security types.

A recent example illustrates this well....

A broker approached CCG with a $4.2 million commercial property purchase requiring settlement in just ten (10) business days. While the bank remained "under review," CCG provided a conditional approval within 24 hours, ordered a fast-tracked valuation, and settled within 3 days. 

Our client secured the asset and the Broker preserved their relationship.


Brokers can further shorten approval timelines by submitting complete loan packs, organising valuations early and preparing clients for private lending terms and pricing. 

Managing expectations early and proactively driving the process leads to smoother, faster settlements.

What Brokers Should Prepare Before Submitting a Deal


Preparation directly impacts settlement speed. Brokers who consistently achieve fast approvals typically:

  • Submit a loan enquiry form with a detailed loan summary.
  • Provide recent valuations or assist the lender in coordinating a fast valuation.
  • Ensure clear title documentation and disclosure of any encumbrances.
  • Prepare a concise exit strategy that aligns with the proposed loan term.

By anticipating lender requirements upfront, brokers minimise approval delays and give their clients the best chance of success.
