About Us
We're Rain City Capital - a private real estate lender. We put our borrowers first, which is how we've built our business almost exclusively on word-of-mouth referrals. No two workdays are the same, so our team is comprised of individuals who aren't afraid to roll up their sleeves and take care of business. Our sales team is fueled by new ideas and a fresh approach to simplifying the financial industry by putting the relationship before the transaction. We need to quickly expand our sales team to handle an abundance of leads, so we're looking for an assistant to support our top-performing loan officers so they can focus on closing more deals.
