Unitas Funding Named to Scotsman Guide’s Exclusive 2026 Top Private Lenders Ranking
Nationwide Direct Lender Recognized Among the Nation’s Highest-Producing Private Lenders
CRANFORD, NJ., June 2, 2026 — Unitas Funding, a nationwide direct lender specializing in real estate investment financing, today announced its inclusion in Scotsman Guide’s 2026 Top Private Lenders rankings. The honor recognizes Unitas Funding among the most trusted and highest-producing private lenders in the nation, reflecting the firm’s track record of delivering institutional-grade capital with entrepreneurial speed across Fix & Flip, Bridge, New Construction, and Fix-to-Rent loan programs.
Scotsman Guide’s Top Private Lenders ranking is the only verified benchmark of its kind in the industry. Every honoree on the list submits volume and closed loan data verified in writing by a financial officer—making this recognition a genuine measure of performance, not a self-reported distinction.
This year’s ranked lenders collectively closed 84,240 loans totaling more than $33 billion in private lending volume during 2025. Unitas Funding is proud to stand among this exceptional group.
“This recognition reflects what we’ve been building at Unitas Funding—a platform owned and powered by Fidelis Investors, where speed, transparency, and execution aren’t marketing language, they’re operational standards. We understand investor loan. Every deal we close is a proof point that institutional capital and entrepreneur-level service can coexist. Being named to the Scotsman Guide Top Private Lenders ranking validates what our clients already know: when we say yes, we mean yes. With internally managed capital and fewer layers, we deliver faster approvals, reliable terms, quicker closings, and efficient draws.
— John Santilli, Chief Production Officer, Unitas Funding
