We’re reflecting on our roots and the incredible journey of Cooperative Business Services (CBS). In 2003, CBS began with just 8 credit union partners and a vision to empower credit unions with exceptional commercial real estate lending solutions. No roadmap, just a belief in what we could build together. Fast forward to today: ✅ Over 150 credit union partners ✅ Nearly $3.5 billion in loan originations being serviced ✅ A dedicated team that’s grown alongside our mission From our first shared loan officer loan in 2007—a $1.16M deal with Hondros College—to expanding into new states and building lasting partnerships, every milestone reflects the trust our credit union partners and clients place in us. Thank you to our team, partners, and clients for shaping CBS into what it is today. Here’s to continuing to originate, underwrite, and service with excellence—together. #CreditUnions #CommercialLending #CooperativeBusinessServices #Teamwork

Reflections on the Final Four and More You’re thinking this story is about basketball, aren’t you? My first loan at CBS closed September 12, 2007, $1,160,000 for the Hondros family. I was thrilled to work with one of the largest real estate schools in the U.S. (Fun fact: Hondros College was once The Ohio Real Estate Preparatory School.) I miss John. We worked on some amazing projects together. It felt huge back then, and in many ways, it still does. Because it was the start of something I never fully imagined. In late 2006, I joined Cooperative Business Services (CBS). Just 22 credit unions. No roadmap, just belief in what we could build. By 2010: 51 credit union partners, new states, 407 loans on the books, and 6.22% was the average rate. Does that look familiar? Four of us from those very early days are still here, including Keith Reed, Lorain Cooper, CUCE, CRVPM-V/C-VMPRA, Andy Weingartner, CCUE, and Daisy Shafer. Love my team. I remember when my bossman, John Skeldon, was hired not long after me, and thinking, “man, he’s fresh.” Turns out, he’s like a brother to me. Met Jonathan Mokri over frog legs (thanks Jeff Greene, CPA CCIM). Knew he’d be perfect for Cleveland, even before we had an office there. He’s still here. Still a badass. When were stamps $0.42? We were fancy back then...still are. Today, that small beginning has grown into something extraordinary, more than 150 credit union partners and nearly $3.5 billion in loan originations being serviced. And somehow, OVER half a billion dollars in closed loans under just my name. I don’t share these numbers for recognition. I share because it represents the trust others have placed in me over the years, and that’s what really matters. To my CBS colleagues, Credit Union partners, and clients, thank you for your friendship, support, collaboration, and conversations that have shaped me. At your service. 💖 Leslie The Power of Collaboration® Need a loan?
