Bio
Paul LeFevre
Having worked with Mike and Co for many many years we always know our business is in safe and experienced hands that get the job done time after time and with a smile on his face. I can’t recommend him enough for all your commercial financing needs.

I have known and worked with Michael as an Appointed Representative of Commercial Expert for nearly 4 years. Michael is a pleasure to work with due to his openness, knowledge, connections and ability to work with both funders and clients to achieve success. His knowledge of the lending market is second to none and he always puts his clients first. He also manages the team at Commercial Expert with empathy and understanding and is genuinely a great guy to work with.

I've known Mike Coates for over 15 years now and has proven himself to be one of the most professional, well connected advisors in the commercial real estate space. If Mike doesn't know it, then its probably not worth knowing. Interestingly, Mike is extremely well connected with specialist lenders, that allows him to think outside the box where others might falter. Genuine, honest, friendly chap. I highly recommend Mike as both a real estate consultant and someone I regard as a genuine friend.
