Kennedy Funding LLC

Kennedy Funding LLC is a direct private lender specializing in commercial real estate bridge loans. Established in 1987, the company's core mission is to provide rapid and flexible financing solutions for a diverse range of real estate projects, particularly those that may not meet the stringent criteria of traditional banking institutions. Its headquarters are located in Englewood, New Jersey.

The firm offers commercial bridge loans and hard money loans for various purposes, including land acquisition, development, construction, property acquisitions, workouts, bankruptcies, foreclosures, note purchases, refinancing, and cash-out transactions. Kennedy Funding caters to a broad market, financing commercial properties, land for development, multi-family units, and distressed assets, both domestically and internationally. Loan amounts typically range from $1 million to over $50 million, with a notable capacity for quick closings, often within five days.

Under the leadership of CEO and President Kevin Wolfer, Kennedy Funding has surpassed $4 billion in closed loans globally. Recent activities include a significant focus on land loans, with the company closing eight land loans across eight U.S. states in an eight-week period in late 2025. The firm has also expanded its efforts to serve foreign national real estate investors, addressing challenges they face in securing traditional U.S. financing by focusing on asset value rather than conventional borrower credit history. Kennedy Funding positions itself as a key player for complex and time-sensitive real estate deals.
