California Private Money Lenders

About California Private Money Lenders

I am John Filippa, the owner and lead broker for California Private Money Lenders. I have been doing private money loans exclusively for over 25 years and have funded over $200,000,000 worth of loans during this period.

I have a MBA from San Jose State University and I have worked extensively in the financial services industry, from being a Wall Street executive to an investment specialist for a successful Marin County financial consulting company. In my spare time I enjoy playing golf at the Santa Rosa Country Club and taking advantage of all the amenities that the Wine Country and Sonoma Coast has to offer.

I have brought my investment expertise to the real estate industry and our company has successfully provided high quality loan opportunities to some of the Wine countries most prominent citizens.

I started my private money loan business in Santa Rosa because I saw a need for individuals and businesses to borrow funds for relatively short periods of time (1 to 5 years) to improve their current and future financial situations.

We specialize in originating and funding special situations loans including:

Vineyard and Winery Loans
Residential Loans
Bridge Loans
Estate Settlement Loans
Land Loans
Commercial Loans
We will look at any lending situation that “makes sense”.
