Eric Bernstein
PRESIDENT AND CO-FOUNDER
Since 2015, Eric has helped thousands of clients buy homes, build wealth, and navigate one of life’s most important financial decisions with confidence. Over his career, he has closed more than $1 billion in home loans, earning a reputation for solving complex financing scenarios with speed, clarity, and care.
Inspired by the customer service principles in Raving Fans by Ken Blanchard, Eric believes every client deserves more than a smooth transaction—they deserve a standout, personalized experience. That philosophy guides everything he does at LendFriend, from clear communication to expert problem-solving when challenges arise.
Eric specializes in helping clients who fall outside traditional lending guidelines, including self-employed borrowers, real estate investors, crypto holders, and others with unique financial situations. He has expertise in VA, Conventional, and Jumbo loans, as well as Non-QM programs such as bank statement, DSCR, and asset depletion loans.
Whether it’s your first home or your fifth, Eric leads the LendFriend team with transparency, creativity, and a client-first approach—ensuring every borrower feels supported from start to finish.
