I’ve known Sal Salvatore for over 20 years from his days working for Wells Fargo. He has always been a passionate advocate for his customers to a fault. In my interaction with Sal, he’s always finding ways to structure the borrower’s debt to improve cash flow, lower their interest rate, reduce reporting and performance covenants, and cash-out refinancing to recapitalize the business or for additional real estate investments. He’s also active in the community, being a native of San Diego. I recommend you talk to Sal if you plan on purchasing or refinancing owner-occupied or investment real estate – Hooi Lim, over 30 years in the financial service industry and formally with Wells Fargo as Senior Regional Credit Officer.

I want to share my experience working with Sal Crivello as my commercial real estate broker. I decided to refinance one of my properties. Yet, I was reluctant, as the previous person I worked with showed very little interest in my company once the loan he originated closed. He left the institution he was working with at the time and his departure from that bank resulted in me not having a Relationship Banker to work with when I needed advice.

So, I asked a friend of mine if he had a reference, and he referred me to Sal Crivello.

When I met Sal, not only was he incredibly charming, he was highly engaged in my business and assured me we would get a refi done. What I found most compelling about Sal is he genuinely cared about me and what would be best for my business. He immersed himself in what we do at InnoVision Marketing Group to help him determine the best bank and bakers for me. His knowledge is world-class, and he is not afraid to share information and help one learn about the process. His patience throughout the process was extraordinary, and he stayed in constant touch with me, informing me every step of the way, which completely alleviated any anxiety.

Not only did Sal help me get the refi, but he also helped us obtain our PPP loan during the COVID-19 Pandemic when there was no one else to help. He consulted to us with no expectation of remuneration and was always available. As a result of Sal’s integrity, kindness and perseverance, he has earned my complete trust, and I cannot imagine ever working with anyone else in my commercial real estate dealings.

I would be delighted to answer any questions about my experience with Sal and welcome you to contact me here at InnoVision Marketing Group as I have only broached the surface as to the level of regard I hold for Sal.

Sal has been such a helpful assistance in explaining everything the commercial loan process entails. His knowledge of the field is unparalleled and the expertise he offers provides a seamless and comfortable experience. Sal is the best in the game, which is why he will always be my number one reference for all things involved in commercial loans.

We have worked with Sal for several years on both residential and commercial transactions. He is approachable, knowledgeable, and responsive. Most importantly, he has the network and expertise to get deals done. I would highly recommend him for any transaction, no matter how complicated.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Sal on multiple transactions at once. Sal took a proactive approach in over communicating to all parties involved and was the “glue” that kept things intact with the buyer/borrower on a 3-property portfolio totaling over $11.8 million. His ability to navigate and close this complex transaction was appreciated given the timing constraints.

Sal is an experienced, knowledgeable and professional broker who understands the challenges of complex lending transactions. He approaches every deal, big or small, with the same enthusiasm and creativeness that helps not only his clients but also his lending partners get the deal done. In addition to his knowledge and professionalism, Sal also maintains a high level of organization and attention to detail that makes even the most complex of transactions a seamless experience.
