About Us
Real Estate Finance Grounded in Responsibility
Based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa — structuring and managing transactions that fall outside conventional lending, with discipline and long-term accountability.
Who We Are
A Different Kind of Finance Company
Contract Exchange Corporation is a real estate finance company focused on structuring and managing transactions that fall outside conventional lending. We work with buyers, sellers, and investors involved in contract-based real estate transactions—providing practical solutions grounded in experience, discipline, and long-term accountability. Our role is not to force transactions into predefined models, but to evaluate each situation as it is—and determine what is realistic, responsible, and sustainable.
What We Do
Specializing in Alternative Real Estate Finance
We specialize in real estate contracts and alternative financing structures across a focused range of transaction types.
Contract-for-Deed Transactions
Private Real Estate Note Purchasing
Seller-Financed Deal Structuring
Contract Origination & Servicing
Financing for Non-Traditional Borrowers
Our work is centered around real properties, real people, and real financial outcomes—not abstract models or automated approvals.
Who We Are
A Different Kind of Finance Company
At Contract Exchange Corporation, every transaction is approached with the same principle. We take the time to understand the full context behind each deal, including financial complexity, property conditions, and long-term viability.
This allows us to create structures that are not only workable today, but stable over time. We are not driven by volume or speed. We are driven by sound decisions.
Do it correctly—or don't do it at all.
The standard applied to every transaction we undertake.
