LoanGeek, a technology platform that connects real estate investors with private, non-bank lending options nationwide, has been named the 2025 Broker of the Year by the National Private Lenders Association at the recent NPLA conference in Scottsdale, Arizona. The award recognizes excellence in broker leadership, client outcomes, lender partnerships, and industry impact.

“We are honored to receive this award,” said Christopher Pepe, Co-Founder & CEO of LoanGeek, “We build relationships for the long term by giving our clients a clear path to capital and instilling confidence in our lenders that each opportunity fits their criteria. This recognition affirms our partnership-first approach.”

“LoanGeek has helped us grow the NPLA’s broker vertical in a meaningful, sustained way,” said Amy Kame, Managing Director of the NPLA, “They’re also stepping in as a lead instructor for our Broker Certification — their commitment to elevating standards is exactly what this award is about.”

Founded in 2023, LoanGeek pairs a high-touch broker model with curated lender relationships and advanced technology to guide borrowers from application to funding.

Pepe launched LoanGeek after observing investors overpaying for capital due to limited market visibility; he founded the company to align borrower needs with best-fit private lenders through transparent options and responsive execution. Under his leadership, LoanGeek has expanded its national presence, working with over 250 lending partners across the country.

For lenders, the company’s LiveDeal portal surfaces qualified scenarios and allows capital providers to filter opportunities by loan type, amount, property category, and geography to identify desired deals in real time. LoanGeek’s operating philosophy centers on alignment, clarity, and raising industry standards, setting realistic terms and timelines for clients, giving lenders complete, consistent files that reduce back-and-forth and support reliable credit decisions, all while contributing to education and programs that elevate industry standards for brokers and their lending partners.
