Testimonials

I’ve been a commercial mortgage broker for over 25 years, specializing in permanent and construction financing. Throughout my career, I’ve handled numerous complex transactions, gaining extensive expertise in commercial real estate and building strong client relationships.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Ed Rymer for more than 15 years. He’s not only a reliable and honest client, but also a friend who genuinely cares about those he works with. Ed is creative, intelligent, and steadfast, making him an outstanding developer and real estate investor. I look forward to continuing to work with Ed on his commercial real estate financing needs.

Chairman of the Board, VisionBank
I have known and done business with Ed Rymer for over 15 years. I have found Ed to be an honest, candid, knowledgeable business person. He has successfully spear headed the development of several RV parks and other real estate ventures. As investors, I and others were recently involved with Ed in a large RV project. The project was complexly derailed by the Covid pandemic and at one point I was ready to write off my entire investment. However, through Ed’s hard work and determination the project was righted and we were able to recoup our investment plus a profit.

I had the pleasure of working with Ed Rymer on one of his early Florida commercial property ventures. He brought to the table great insight, planning and execution and he did all the heavy lifting for what turned out to be a spectacular success during an economic recession. Ed was a dependable man of honesty and integrity throughout our business relationship. I believe Ed will prove to be a true asset in any future business ventures.

Twenty years ago I invested in a manufacturer in Hastings, Minnesota co-founded by Ed Rymer. The business had synergies with our our existing company. Both enterprises grew to be leaders in their sectors and eventually attracted the attention of a large holding company. Although negotiations were tense, Ed Rymer contributed by bringing together divergent interests and personalities concluding in a beneficial outcome for all parties. Both companies continue to operate and thrive today along with the relationship between Ed and myself.

Reflecting on the success I've been so blessed and fortunate to have experienced Ed Rymer in my life. I often think about those people who were instrumental. Ed Rymer was one one of those people.
