Bob Forbes

Founder & Principal
Westlend Funding

Bob Forbes founded Westlend Funding in 2007 with a straightforward philosophy: real estate investors deserve a lender who understands the deal as well as they do. Not a bank. Not a faceless loan department. A partner who evaluates each transaction on its merits and gives you a real answer, fast.

With more than 25 years in private lending, Bob has personally structured and closed hundreds of transactions across every strategy from quick-turn residential flips to complex ground-up construction projects in markets nationwide. He's seen the deals that pencil and the ones that don't. That experience is what investors get when they call Westlend.

Westlend is based in the Atlanta suburbs, but the business has grown to serve investors and developers across the country. Whether you're working a deal in your backyard or expanding into a new market, Westlend can structure capital that fits your strategy.

When you call Westlend, you get Bob. That's the model and it's been working since 2007.
