“My company has had a business relationship with Cooper Pacific since 1994 and I am impressed with the quality of the projects that they finance. Interest payments arrive monthly with a detailed statement. I shall continue to invest with Cooper Pacific and have no hesitation in recommending them.”
“I rely on Cooper Pacific to make the decisions on where the investments are made. They are a very stable company and I trust and have faith in their ability.”
“Cooper Pacific has shown a willingness to be open and direct in their communication. Information is always forthcoming and given in a timely manner. The communication is there, and they’ve always made it clear that if you have any questions or concerns they are only a phone call away. We can walk in, phone in, email in. They are not afraid of the hard questions…At the end of the day, I could see my money working in the community. And I could also see my money working for me. I kind of felt that getting the updates from Cooper Pacific made me feel like I had just been to a board meeting and these were the minutes. They made me feel that I was part of the company and part of the investments. They personalized it.”
“As a first time investor with Cooper Pacific during calendar year 2017, I have found their entire team to excel at being responsive to a customer’s questions on how their offering of mortgage investments are structured. They have been transparent as to how the monthly mechanics of the yield calculations work and their interest payments have been completed on time each month in accordance with the investment terms. In my view they offer a good mix of risk versus yield products at attractive rates. They have been willing to discuss how they address an investor’s concerns on balancing their lending evaluations especially in the current robust real estate development markets.”
“We have been investors with Cooper Pacific for approximately 25 years. Our dealings with all the staff have always been very cordial and professional. In particular, we have never had any problems with communication when we have had questions or concerns. As we are in our retirement years we are very careful regarding our investments and have been very comfortable with the investment strategies carried on by Cooper Pacific on our behalf.”
