President
Lehigh Financial Group
Jeff Barber and his team are responsible for helping small business owners and real estate investors secure financing that fits their needs from commercial real estate lending to small business, accounts receivable and equipment financing.
He has served as president for 25 years.
Barber said the commercial real estate market is ever-changing. “Rates and good real estate inventory have been the main challenge and will not change until rates come down to free-up the markets. The other issue is that lenders are being more selective about the loans they do for business owners and real estate investors. Lenders are short on capital and are looking for borrowers that can bring more deposits with them along with quality real estate. Also, cash buyers continue outbidding buyers that need financing,” he explained.
“We believe service is utmost in this industry; listening to the client, meeting their needs, this is what my team continues to provide every day. They extend that to the lenders as well and strive to build great relationships. When we close a loan, we know we have made a difference to the business owner or the investor,” Barber said.
