AGM Financial Services, Inc.

Ph: 800-729-4266

www.agmfinancial.com

AGM Financial Services, Inc. is a leading nationwide FHA Mortgagee and Multifamily Accelerated Processing (MAP) lender providing financing for the healthcare industry and the market rate and affordable housing industries. AGM arranges federally insured mortgages and credit enhancements for assisted living and skilled nursing facilities as well as apartment projects. These mortgages provide funding for acquisition, refinancing, construction, and/or rehabilitation.

AGM offers fixed-rate non-recourse loans for new construction or substantial rehabilitation pursuant to Section 221(d) of the National Housing Act and for acquisition or refinance of existing apartments pursuant to Section 223(f). We finance long-term care facilities under Section 232; supplemental renovation loans under Section 241; Section 202 refinances; and interest rate reductions under Section 223(a)(7).

AGM is a privately held lender, based in Baltimore, Maryland. Founded in 1990 under the leadership of Margaret Allen (CEO), AGM’s recent annual transaction volume is approximately $400 million, with an average deal size of $25 million. Since AGM’s inception we have closed more than $3.2 billion in FHA insured loans.

AGM’s professional staff has mastered the various disciplines of governmental real estate finance to provide our clients with the best possible service. AGM is an experienced processor with state and local housing agencies for second debt and Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC).

All aspects of financing are handled by AGM to insure that loan processing moves efficiently. We help you prepare your tax credit applications, process your loan with FHA and state finance agencies, while guiding it from application through commitment to funding and servicing. Our philosophy is that the process should be “transparent”; we provide you with a full understanding of how the process works, including anticipated sources and uses, not just a mortgage amount. We’ll come to your office and show you how it all fits together.

At AGM we never lose sight of the important aspect of our loan production; you the client. Our goal is to provide the best service in the industry. Each borrower is assigned an experienced loan team to facilitate the FHA process. Our success is rooted in yours.

Our comprehensive approach to managing the finance process, coupled with veteran FHA professionals and a broad network of regional offices and loan underwriters, allows us to understand and respond to the intricacies of your local market. Because we know your market and manage the loan process from application to underwriting, closing and servicing, we have the unique ability to create custom lending solutions, providing you with the financing program you need, in the time frame you need it.
