In August 2020, the Managing Partners of Ashmore Partners LLC, Peter Christiansen and Anthony Susco, collaborated with a long-time lending industry veteran, Jeremiah O’Brien, to establish a new entity with a distinct approach to funding professional builders and developers.
The pandemic exposed weaknesses in the correspondent model. Good investors had difficulty procuring funding for quality projects due to a temporary shock that significantly curtailed capital availability. This was the genesis of Builders Trust Capital LLC. Peter, Anthony, and Jerry decided to start a portfolio lending company with a novel approach to private real estate lending.

I appreciate your team's support during the entire rehab process for my property. This is my first deal, there were a lot of unknowns that came with that. The construction process intimidated me and held me back from doing real estate for several years. Kurt has been phenomenal, he was a wealth of knowledge. I appreciate how he gets in touch to talk through in-scope item completion and aligning on ways to ensure my construction draws are adequate. I'm thankful to have someone who has my business's best interests at heart.
