I’m Robert McConaghy — a commercial finance and real estate strategist with 20+ years of experience optimizing business performance, underwriting complex credit structures, and driving high-ROI real estate investments. I specialize in complex commercial credit analysis, institutional and private portfolio risk management, and CRE/C&I finance, including complex commercial loan workouts, large-scale development finance projects and SBA lending. I have trained underwriting teams, strengthened bank credit policy, and assisted financial institutions in perfecting and protecting their loan portfolios while improving profitability and maintaining compliance. Across my banking and investment career, I’ve structured, managed, and advised on over $900 million in commercial transactions — spanning acquisition, construction, underwriting, development, credit sales, special assets, and investor portfolio growth. As an investor and consultant, I partner with business owners, entrepreneurs, and private capital groups to accelerate revenue growth, reduce financial risk, and scale operations through smart strategic planning, tax-focused financial management, and targeted real estate investment.
With over 20 years in commercial finance, I specialize in risk management, complex credit underwriting, and portfolio optimization for banks and lenders. My experience includes senior commercial credit leadership as a credit approval officer and risk management officer across CRE, C&I, SBA, and construction portfolios, underwriting and structuring complex commercial credit,— multi-entity deals, cross-collateralized assets, and challenging cash flows, training underwriting teams and elevating analytical standards across institutions, working directly with executive leadership to strengthen loan portfolios, improve credit policy alignment, and mitigate emerging risk, and managing special asset portfolios and executing recovery strategies that preserve capital and maximize loss-avoidance.
I specialize in helping business owners turn ambition into scalable, measurable growth. Through a data-driven approach, I analyze the company's financial engine — from P&L performance and cash flow to tax efficiency and expense structure — ensuring every dollar contributes to expansion and profitability. I assist in building growth systems that strengthen marketing processes, elevate sales performance, and streamline operations, enabling the business to grow faster without overwhelming its infrastructure. I also guide entrepreneurs on entity structure, credit access, and capital readiness, positioning the company to secure funding and pursue larger opportunities. For businesses with real estate assets, I integrate property strategy into the financial plan to fortify the balance sheet and multiply long-term equity gains. At the leadership level, I implement accountability frameworks that increase output, improve decision-making, and protect margins as scale accelerates.
I provide strategic guidance on commercial real estate investments — from underwriting to acquisition through disposition. With more than 20 years of specialized experience and over $900 million in commercial credit experience, my core strengths include structuring and financing office, retail, industrial, multifamily, and mixed-use transactions, expertise in construction finance and large-scale development (200+ unit projects), optimizing deal structure to enhance cash flow and long-term asset value, market analytics that align investment decisions with macro-economic trends, and creation of specialized bank loan packages for submissions and closings. Whether the goal is expansion, repositioning, or capital growth — I help clients deploy funds into high-performance commercial assets with confidence.
As a real estate professional and market strategist, I have represented buyers and sellers in luxury, executive, vineyard, and income properties across multiple states. I consult with investors and entrepreneurs to expand and stabilize their wealth through property acquisitions and sales that balance income and appreciation.
This includes acquisition and underwriting of cash-flowing SFR portfolios, portfolio optimization using tax-advantaged investment structures (1031 planning), analysis of hold-versus-sell outcomes, negotiating high-stakes transactions with precision and speed, managing every aspect of the transaction — valuation, staging, marketing, negotiation, and delivering premium-level service focused on protecting equity and accelerating outcomes—the result: smarter investments, more substantial cash flow, and scalable generational wealth.
