About Zemaso

Zemaso engineers loans to the objectives of it's borrowers. For this, among other reasons, we have become known by those who do business with us as a highly creative and borrower-friendly private lender. Although we try to adhere to a common structure, no two of our loans are ever wholly alike.

  • Rates and Fees: Varies by borrower and collateral.
  • Closing timeframes:We have closed loans the next day when the title insurance and other documents were already in order and the value of the property was evident. However, we typically can close within 2 weeks of the loan request.
