About Us
Working together, growing together, successful together.
BWE is one of the largest privately owned commercial mortgage banking firms in the country. We are a resource for our clients’ commercial and multifamily real estate financing needs.
With offices from coast-to-coast and over 100 producers nationwide, BWE is growing, and we’re bringing our unique culture and work ethic along for that growth.
BWE is dedicated to long-term relationships, quality work, and ensuring that our clients have access to optimal solutions with certainty of execution.
FULL-SERVICE FINANCING PARTNER
BWE offers competitive rates and terms, streamlined underwriting, and a broad range of direct lending resources for all property types. Our full-service experience ensures our clients receive the highest quality and most efficient commercial mortgage banking offered in the industry.
That attention and level of commitment to our clients doesn’t stop when loans close. With our dedicated team of asset managers and operations professionals, we service most of the loans we originate. From inception throughout the life of the loan, our team of experts handle financing needs so clients can focus on their business.

Fifth Third Bank

BWE mission
Our mission is to be an innovative, client-focused provider of expert financing as a result of our focus on meeting the needs of both the borrower and the investor in every real estate transaction that we do.
Our culture is our strength, achieving success through a dedication to integrity, collaboration and excellence.
Affordable housing mission
We support affordable housing across the country through our partnership with Enterprise Community Partners, Inc. which creates and advocates for quality affordable housing in thriving communities.
Since our partnership with Enterprise was conceived in 2012, every BWE loan closed has contributed over $100 million toward our mission to create affordable communities.
