Our Story

About RF Boston

Michael Garrity and Michael Philbin started RF Boston in 2014 after 20 years as loan borrowers. They wanted to start a lending company that wasn’t fixated on big profits, but instead they aimed to create the best possible customer experience.

They knew firsthand how a negative borrowing experience impacted their own real estate projects and knew that there was a better way.
