With 24 years experience as a licensed real estate professional, Mr.
Reuveni has focused much of his efforts on the weakest link in the real
estate transaction, financing. While placing a strong emphasis on responding
to special needs of borrowers who have elected or have been forced to use
private investors to fund real estate transactions, Mr. Reuveni has been
credited with funding some of the most complicated loan transactions ever
done in the state of California. With his extensive computer knowledge, Mr.
Reuveni created the first open market infrastructure for the highly

efforts to LendingUniverse.com where further development by a crew of 11
computer scientists and an Internet web site master was
done.
