Featured Funding!
Premiere Property Services, Inc.
 

EDF has partnered with JP Morgan Chase Bank to assist Premiere Property Services, Inc. with the purchase of land and the construction of their new facility.  In 2001, Scott Kelting formed Premiere Property Services, Inc. They specialize in mobile, manufactured, and single-family home restoration and remodeling projects. The company's largest growth happened in the past few years as they contracted with companies that own multiple mobile and manufactured home parks making Premier Property Services, Inc. their primary repair and refurbishment vendor.  


"We have been dreaming of expanding for years, and 
without  the help of the EDF and the 504 Program it would not
have been possible. The 504 program made it a reality
to secure affordable financing which in turn helped us 
put  more money back into our business."

Scott Kelting
President


Bradd Pierce at EDF worked with Scott's lender, Nathan Bosma of JP Morgan Chase Bank, to finance the construction of their building in Grand Rapids. The SBA loan was the perfect opportunity for them to obtain additional space that was needed due to their growth and it allowed them to lock in a low interest rate for 20 years with only a 10% down payment.  Scott Kelting said, "We have been dreaming of expanding for years, and without the help of the EDF and the 504 program it would not have been possible. The 504 program made it a reality to secure affordable financing which in turn helped us put more money back into our business."
