Sharestates, a marketplace lending platform that connects real estate developers with investors, was crowned Top Real Estate Platform at LendIt Fintech USA 2019 in San Francisco, California on April 9, 2019. The Top Real Estate Platform award is based on performance, volume, growth, product diversity, and responsiveness to stakeholders. Over the past five years, Sharestates has become a leading real estate platform by focusing on clients and investing heavily in the platform and its employees to streamline the borrowing and investing experience.
“Sharestates has shown impressive growth over the past year while also providing great returns for investors. They deserve the LendIt Fintech Real Estate Platform of the Year for 2019,” said Peter Renton, Co-Founder & Co-Chairman, LendIt Fintech.
“To think only five years ago we walked into LendIt not knowing what to expect as part of an industry that was beginning to find its way into the financial marketplace as Private Lenders, and today we are acknowledged by our peers as a leader in the space,” explains Co-Founder and CEO, Allen Shayanfekr. “It’s humbling, and we look forward to continued success through strategic partnerships as well as being part of a monumental financial movement. On behalf of our organization, I’d like to thank LendIt Fintech for such an honorable award. We are very excited about the coming year, and our product roll-outs. The community spoke, we listened, and we’re ready to execute!”
