Company History


Schiro Financial, Inc. was formed by Loren Schiro in 1996, who brought aboard his daughter, Heather Schiro-Sturn in 1997. The firm purpose is to originate construction, rehabilitation and long-term financing for income producing real estate projects. Our primary focus is for real estate located in the Pacific Northwest. Property types include: multi-family, retail, office, warehouse (including mini-warehouse), mobile home parks, and mixed-use. After more than 25 years in the industry, Loren retired and allowed his daughter, Heather, to continue running the company based upon her long and successful career with Schiro Financial.

Schiro Financials established procedures have resulted in a highly successful track record of arranging construction and/or term financing for a wide range of commercial, industrial and apartment projects.  Our problem solving ability and speed has been an important ingredient to our success.  Our clients and their projects are subjected to a thorough review analysis.  This in-depth underwriting process provides the basis from which our recommendations are made to borrowers and lending institutions.  We track all aspects of the lending process including working directly with title companies, attorneys, appraisers, environmental and structural professionals, lending source underwriters, and closers.  We provide this continuous monitoring to insure timely and favorable underwriting, documentation and funding of the loan.
