by Jaime Lackey February 19, 2019

Communication and transparency are always top priorities for commercial lenders and borrowers. Paul Letourneau, manager of commercial lending at Alliant Credit Union, believes these are the true skills lenders should leverage in today’s market. Letourneau knows we’re long in this cycle — and he says that’s not a bad thing. There is still a great need for capital, but with that demand comes the competition among suppliers. This, Letourneau asserts, has caused lenders like credit unions to make sure their relationships with mortgage brokers and sponsors are as strong as possible. The ability to remain competitive while disciplined is no easy task. Letourneau believes this starts with strong communication between all parties. Watch the video for more insights from Letourneau.
