TESTIMONIALS
What Others Are Saying
Craig is an all-star player on that team
Craig has always been upfront, and extremely fair with me. Bruce Norris has done the best job I’ve ever seen assembling the most honorable and ethical staff of people and Craig is an all-star player on that team. It’s always a pleasure doing business with Craig and The Norris Group. As far as I’m concerned, in the investor money lending business, Craig’s the man! A big thumbs up! – Mike Cantu
Professional, knowledge, and responsive
I worked with Craig Hill to fund a flip for me. I had spoken to a handful of hard money lenders, and Craig and The Norris Group far exceeded the others in professionalism, knowledge, and responsiveness. He is also likable and trustworthy. These attributes are extremely hard to find in real estate investing. I will use The Norris Group for all of my hard money loans, no need to look any further! - Jennifer S.
Absolutely commited to his/her investing success
"Twenty-one of the twenty-five properties I bought this year were originated using the strategies, philosophies, and materials found in the California “Only” Training Series. Each of them was obtained at a price that provided profits after expenses while timing a flat or declining market. Bruce’s conclusions are thoroughly researched and the logic applied is straightforward. When a person is absolutely committed to his/her investing success, I believe his highest payoff task is to master the strategies taught in those 4 courses. – Nicholas Manfredi
The Norris Group is a partner every investor should have
The Norris Group is a partner every investor should have; Craig is the best in his profession, Robyn is fast and efficient and Rhonda is great to deal with. I highly recommend The Norris Group for any investor’s Hard Money needs, and as for education, they are second to none. The only regret I have is not knowing about The Norris Group back in 2005, I recently got their “California only training series” and the information is amazing. I listen to the CDs time and time again and even though they were recorded in 2006, the real estate market predictions are so right on that is scary; I call it my Real Estate Investing Bible. Thank you, Bruce, for sharing your expertise with us; life is good because of people like you. - Douglas C
Hard money the easy way
“Hard money the easy way. Thank you, Craig, Robin and everyone at the Norris Group for being there for us. Without you we would not have been able to do the deals we’ve done so far and we’re looking forward to many many more. And it is not just the loans but the advice and help that has helped our real estate business grow. Thank you so much. - Livia and Felipe
The Norris Group gave me great advice
Craig and The Norris Group gave me great advice and worked hard to earn my business. It is nice to have a lender in your corner looking out for you. - Gary H
Able to increase my annual income by over $100k a year
“Craig and the whole Norris lending team make closing deals easy. With the help of your team, I’m able to increase my annual income by over $100k a year. Thank you for making the process to easy. - Michael F.
Extremely pleased with how smooth the transaction went
We were extremely pleased with how smooth the transaction went. There aren’t many hard money lenders that can make it that smooth and easy. We can’t wait to use TNG again in the near future. – Macteam Investments Inc.
