Chaim Dotan, B.Sc. Eng
President/Broker
The Founder and President of Venture Financial Ltd., Chaim Dotan, entered the mortgage brokerage industry six months after arriving in Canada and established his company within two years.
From the outset, he focused his energy on financing commercial and residential development projects and commercial and industrial term financing. Having an engineering background specializing in soil and water engineering, he was able to focus on residential developments, land servicing and construction financing.
Mr. Dotan’s engineering background, strength in dealing with numbers, engineering plans and reports enabled him to close difficult and sophisticated mortgage transactions.
Within the first three years of business, among other transactions, Chaim Dotan successfully closed a large construction-financing project in mid-Toronto providing a loan in excess of $65,000,000. Immediately thereafter he proceeded in arranging financing for the construction of a large condominium project in eastern Scarborough having a loan of approximately $20,000,000. The financing for this transaction was arranged through an American Bank, which committed the loan within ten days of the date of application. That was only the beginning of Venture Financial Ltd.’s growth as a leading producer and originator of major transactions in all commercial real estate asset classes.
Chaim Dotan understands that honesty, hard work, and well-presented transactions benefit both the client and the lender. His highly personable people skills and professionalism along with his ability to follow closely through each of the transaction’s stages have resulted in him closing a diverse array of complex real estate financial transactions successfully and gaining the trust of his Borrower and the Lender’s clients. Chaim Dotan’s innovative way of thinking, his deep understanding of mortgage financial structures and his ability to custom design transactions to his client’s needs, have resulted in him establishing strong contacts at all major financial institutions and many private lending organizations leading to Venture Financial Ltd. becoming a highly successful company with a substantial proven track record.
