Comprehensive Draw Management Platform
Without this system, we would not be able to effectively manage draw administration for renovation loans. I have worked for shops in past that relied on Excel spreadsheets to manage renovation projects. This system is so far advanced from an Excel spreadsheet, it would be like comparing the Flintstones to the Jetsons. (I realize I'm dating myself with the reference. ;)) One small feature I particularly appreciate is the system's ability to accurately track interest earned on the renovation escrow accounts. That is a feature our corporate accounting system cannot duplicate.
- The Land Gorilla staff is incredibly helpful and friendly
- Their training during onboarding is thorough and they are eager to provide ongoing support
- The platform itself is one of the most comprehensive I've seen for draw management
- Using it greatly reduces if not eliminates user error and serves a vital function in making sure projects progress
- It also empowers fewer draw administrators to manage a higher capacity of renovation projects
- While I appreciate the messaging component within the system, external parties are less eager to adopt it
- I prefer it as a single point of reference for all tasks, milestones, communication, etc
- Since other parties prefer using regular email to communicate, I do appreciate the system's ability to pull those messages into and document them within the loan file
- However, the external parties must include the appropriate LG email address, so there are times when communication outside of LG is not captured
- Also, 203(k) Consultants have been reluctant to use LG"s software, citing a duplication of efforts
- My observation is that LG's system is more accurate and reliable than a Consultant's personal records
- I would like to see the Consultant community embrace this system vs
- complaining about it

LG Review
Verified reviewer
- The capability for reporting and the ease in portfolio management
- The time to receive new reports
- Originally missing some functionality that we were used to form other systems but they were quick to make adjustments for us
Switched From
Mostly for reporting purposes, web based program, as well as some other customer support reasons.

Verified UserLG Satisfaction
I have been using Land Gorilla's platform for approx. 2 1/2 years now, during which time I have seen a lot of progression with systems enhancements. While it provides for most basic day to day business functionality, it still lacks as a true loan servicing/accounting system. It's the greatest strength is the inspection services function. The ease of ordering, the expediency in the turn times, and the efficiency and accuracy of the inspection reports. All aspects of Customer Service in general and response times are excellent! They are very accommodating for the occasional rush requests. It is extremely rare that the inspectors make any errors, and on those occasions, both LG and the inspectors are very prompt in responding and making corrections if/when necessary.

Need a Construction Loan Manager- Try Land Gorilla!
We love Land Gorilla overall, it has really saved us time, money and energy since we have integrated with them in late 2021. We wish we had done it sooner!
- It's ease of use, and the inspections
- We receive the inspections back usually within a day, and they are cheaper than using any of our regular appraisers
- We love the customizable reports, and being able to use the system for Commercial and Retail Mortgage loans
There isn't much, but I wish I could order title updates thru LG, I understand there is some type of solution, but it did not work for how we operate our business
Why they chose it
"Overall, the price and product of Land Gorilla won out."

Easy to use, intuitive Construction Loan Admin. Software
Our firm has been using Land Gorilla for almost 3 years now in our primarily construction lending-focused company. Our experience has been very positive to-date. We've appreciated their employees openness to feedback as well as the constantly evolving set of tools and functionality available within the software (updates are frequent and substantial). It's flexbile enough to work with our loans which feature relatively non-standard terms (we're a private, short-term Lender), but also has a lot of typical, important features you need to lend on construction projects. However, we use it even for our loans which feature small construction elements or no construction elements at all (to track interest, fees, term maturity, etc.) We intend to keep using the software and are starting to explore some of the other available elements it offers that we hadn't previously used (investor tracking, for instance).
-Easy to navigate user interface -Frequent and substantial system updates -Friendly, responsive customer service -Integration with their inspection and property reporting options -Software allows for a helpful amount of customization / malleability
-Unable to determine why certain exported reporting data weren't the figures we expected

Great customizable and efficient Construction Management System.
Overall Land Gorilla has been such a HUGELY efficient experience for the Construction area of our department. Customer service is also AMAZING from loan loading to current day. [sensitive content hidden] is always very responsive when I have questions and or need extra help with questions I have.
- I like that it encompasses all areas of construction draw management and loan monitoring
- There is no need for another program or service provider because it can all be done within Land Gorilla
- There are certain areas that I would like to be able to customize more
- For example, it would be great to be able to change/adjust what is displayed on the Dashboard
- I would like to be able to make Draws In Process the main display instead of the Activity box
Why they chose it
"Land Gorilla was highly recommended by other industry contacts we have. Also it seemed the best option for using a Management system to best meet our needs."

Accountable and reliable management tool
Very happy with the experience, this system does have more functionality than some others used in the past.
Keeping track of project progress, interest payments, communications with builders and borrowers- all vital and useful features of the software
- Some end users report challenges with using the program, they would rather not go through log in procedures it seems like
- I wish there was more functionality to monitor construction projects from within our LOS Encompass

Very User Friendly
Verified reviewer
- I love how user friendly the system is
- I was able to log into the system as a first-time user and maneuver without any assistance or training
- I love the Dashboard page
- Being able to see all our active loans, orders, draws and change orders on one page is such a useful feature
The only con I have is getting a message that I will be logged out for inactivity but I'm in the system scrolling

Land Gorilla
It is very wonderful. The support is outstanding.
- The inspection services are great with creating the draw requests
Sometimes, not very often, there is property located in a rural area and a vendor for inspection takes longer to acquire
