Our History: R-Edge
Where we are from, and where we are going
Our founders developed the R-EDGE family of companies after 30 years of serving in the financial services industry prior to launching the firm. R-Edge Group was formed in 2011, focusing on fix and flip real estate redevelopment. We saw the opportunity in our community to improve single-family occupancy homes with quality mechanical systems and aesthetic upgrades and to give buyers what they were looking for: a move-in-ready, quality home, without the hassles associated with hiring their own contractors.
Over time, we found that there was also an ongoing need for quality rental housing. So, we added an arm to our company (TSHH Group) to provide long-term real estate investment property management for a combination of single-family and multi-family rental properties.
With today’s market dynamics moving against business entrepreneurs, The R-Edge family of companies expanded again with R-Edge Commercial Funding to help property investors and businesses combat the challenges of securing financing from traditional banks. We accomplished this by developing a network of over 100 boutique and direct lenders across numerous business categories. By understanding your specific needs and presenting your unique story to the lender, we source the right capital for you to sustain and grow your business.

Our Mission, Vision, and Values
Mission
To be a consultative partner, empowering business owners and real estate investors to realize their dreams.
Vision
We envision a financial scenario where businesses have access to the right kind of capital from the right sources at each stage of their business lifecycle. Often that vision is not far from reach. To get there, we empower our clients with options and insights to provide clarity and informed choices, resulting in a more prepared borrower and better financing terms, curated to the client’s specific needs.
Values
We value relationships. A better financial outcome is better than a quick close that doesn’t work over time. We value insight. Our process is focused around discovering opportunities in collaboration with our clients. We value detail. Our finance and accounting experience grounds us in the knowledge that details matter, making for a smoother loan application process and ultimate outcome. We value growth. We want our clients and our client’s client’s to have what they need – great products, great service, and the resources to grow over time without becoming over-leveraged.
