History
After running a large mortgage broker shop for years, David and Jon David Huffman saw the huge potential of hard money lending. As Jon David Huffman put it, “We got tired of brokering out such high margin deals.” During this time, the Huffman’s established a relationship in Florida where they did short-term interim financing for property flipping. They saw the tremendous opportunity in this niche to provide high margin financing. During these experiences the Huffman’s met Mr. Coffsky. The three of them started to brainstorm about the reality of starting a hard money lender.
After discussion and learning of each other’s history it seemed perfect to start this type of business. The Huffman’s experience in running a mortgage company and Mr. Coffsky’s experience in direct sales in “hard money” lending presented all the pieces necessary to make a successful “hard money” lender. In order to accomplish our goals, we have assembled a experienced management team and initial capital financing to form a hard money lender. The management team of Worth Capital has been brought together using each other strengths to build a team of success. Mr. David Huffman, President and CEO, has years of experience running successful finance, real-estate, and technology companies. Mr. Barry Coffsky, Executive V.P. of Sales and Marketing (currently retired), has had over 20 years of very successful direct sales in the mortgage industry. Mr. Jon David Huffman, Executive V.P. of Operations has significant experience in running the day-to-day operations of a mortgage company.
Worth Capital Funding, Inc. was started in early 2006 to meet the growing need for an industry leader in equity lending (sometimes called Hard Money). The founders realized the huge opportunity for a fast and flexible lender in the Southeastern U.S. Since that time, WCF has established itself as an industry leader in both service and flexibility of products.'
