Our team is experienced in various disciplines associated with successful real estate investment and development. Tom Hazelrigg and Eric deGooyer have over 40 years of lending experience between them. Scott Switzer joined them after 27 years as a CPA, running a large chain restaurant group and managing real estate assets. Danielle Smith has been with Centurion since the beginning and brings solid client relation skills. Joseph (Joe) E. Kimm, Jr., President of Centurion Finance, has produced and managed over two billion dollars in loans during his 30+ year mortgage banking career.
Centurion, and Tom and Eric before creating Centurion, have never had a bad loan. We will not finalize any loan until we agree it is worthwhile. Tom has extensive experience buying and collecting on judgments and foreclosures, so if a problem does arise, we know how to recover. We avoid such problems by dealing with large, experienced borrowers and over-collateralizing with additional properties, if necessary.
SERVICES
In addition to originating and underwriting loan packages, Centurion is proud to offer extensive management consulting to our private lenders and large borrowers at no charge. Centurion's experience and expertise supplements our clients' other professionals to manage the complexities of large estates and maximize rates of return while minimizing tax liability. We see our clients as long-term partners, and value the strong relationships we build together.

THE FUTURE
Centurion derives all revenue from loan fees, loan servicing fees, and equity participation. Centurion originated $285,000,000 in loans in 2004, $496,000,000 in 2005 and $750,000,000 in 2006. We currently manage over $200,000,000 in private capital and expect that number to continually increase.
As we look to the future and the expansion it will bring, we want to be able to react even more quickly to new opportunities. Our lines of credit and internal equity will permit us to fund loans promptly, and package and sell them to our lenders. Centurion anticipates continued growth, permitting more developers to complete profitable projects and more lenders to see great, low-risk return.
