EDYopp Properties Purchases A Real Estate Asset Using an SBA 7(a) Loan
EDYopp Properties is a North Carolina realty agency with a rich family history. Everett “Doug” Yopp established EDYopp in 2017 to “reestablish” the realty agency that was originally owned by his grandfather that served the same communities in North Carolina. Doug built the agency around principles of accountability to clients and strong service, mimicking the excellent service his grandfather would provide the community. To increase assets and reduce costs, Doug was interested in purchasing the building where his company had office space. In order to purchase this building and cover all of the associated costs, Doug obtained an SBA 7(a) loan. This loan gave EDYopp Properties the capital it needed to purchase an asset that is poised to grow with real estate values increasing in the area. In addition, the 25-year term aspect of the loan available through the 7(a) Program resulted in a low monthly payment and conversation of cash flow for the business.
“Working with West Town Bank was an incredible experience. They presented options other lenders didn’t, which really made me feel confident about the product we used and the decision to buy. The team was there keeping me updated throughout the process and have been a great resource when needed after closing. They couldn’t have handled things better and I would highly recommend them to anyone.”
