A Closer Look at Bayport Funding
By Uriel Fleicher, Co-Founder & Editor in Chief at The Elite Officer MagazineMay 19, 20252 min read

At the NPLA Conference in Atlantic City, I stopped by the Bayport Funding booth — one of the busiest and most welcoming at the event. That’s where I met Sharon Nachman, Director of Business Development, who introduced me to several team members (a few politely opted out of the photo!) and shared Bayport’s unique approach to lending and client relationships.
Here’s what she had to say about the company’s values, operations, and growing impact in the private lending space:
Uriel: Sharon, it was a pleasure meeting you at the booth. For those who don’t yet know Bayport Funding, how would you describe what you do?
Sharon: Bayport Funding is a direct private lender based in Great Neck, NY. We specialize in fix & flip, bridge, and heavy construction loans. But beyond the loan products, our true value lies in how we work with people — fast responses, thoughtful deal evaluation, and long-term relationship building. We take pride in how many of our clients return deal after deal.
