In this episode of Coffeez for Closers, Joe sits down with Chris Piro—CEO and Founder of Searchlight Lending, and the guy loan officers call when a deal’s “too weird to fund.”

From multifamily and SBA loans to fire-damaged properties, cannabis facilities, churches, art, and even airplanes—Chris has built a niche business out of saying yes when everyone else says no.

We talk about earning trust in unconventional lending, building a real referral ecosystem, managing ethics in a grey-space market, and why being the solution—no matter how complex the deal—is how you win in today’s mortgage game.

It’s all about grit, clarity, and knowing exactly where to take the stuff no one else will touch.

Top producers at E Mortgage Capital are earning more per deal—with faster closings, better tech, and no junk fees.

Most people don't realize how much their personal information is being bought and sold every day. Data brokers are making billions, pulling details about you from public records and the internet, and then packaging and selling it, usually without your consent. That's how your information lands in the hands of scammers, spammers, even stalkers. It's why you get endless robocalls and why ads seem to follow you everywhere. That's where Aura comes in. Aura actively removes your data from broker sites and keeps it off. They also instantly alert you if your information shows up in a breach or on the dark web. But Aura goes beyond data protection. With one app, you get a VPN, antivirus, password manager, spam call protection, dark web monitoring, and even up to $5 million in identity theft insurance, all backed by 24/7 US-based fraud support. Other companies might sell just credit monitoring, or just a VPN. Aura gives you all of it, together, at the same price competitors charge for just one service.

Chris Piero, he grows greens, raises chickens, surfs at sunrise, and still funds billion-dollar deals before most people even hit snooze. From modular builds to hotel portfolios, church loans, cannabis, classic cars. Chris built a boutique powerhouse on the deals nobody else wanted. I don't want to make a fee off somebody just to kick their pain down the hall. I probably could have, but I like this a good night, right? A dad first, a lender with integrity. A renegade broker rewriting what boutique lending really means. This isn't just about rates and points, it's about presence, passion, and doing business in a way you're proud to pass on, from street sweepers to sharks and pizmo. Chris is the Chris Piero Playbook. Welcome to coffee. Right on, thanks, thanks for coming down to SoCal here. Hopefully the drive was nice and we can make the best of it. Now Chris, I like to start the show off the way I start every single show, which is Chris, what's your morning routine? A morning routine. That's actually on my list here to go over. I'm a routine guy, which we can get into that as well. You know, discipline is freedom, I always say. So I get up in the morning, I do my big cup of cold lemon water, splash my face with cold water. Just try to wake up first. So I don't hit the computer or the phone. You know, everyone says no phone or computer for an hour or two. I don't go to that hardcore, but start with that. Have my cup of tea in the morning, I do like to get up early. You probably see, I don't forget my monthly mailers, I do get about 5 a.m. I try to get my two hours in so I can get my day set up, set up my team, and that way I can make my kids breakfast and hang out with them before they go to school. So I get my cup of tea, I'm not a coffee guy, I just can't work on coffee, I get too jerry.
