Tri Counties Bank welcomes Lindsey Fudge as Managing Director of Middle Market Commercial Real Estate. She joined Tri Counties Bank this past October and is already busy forming and growing a team of lenders to help service middle market commercial real estate clients throughout California.
“Commercial real estate is my passion,” Fudge says. “I love that it’s tangible — being able to see, touch and walk through a building means so much to me. I love being able to drive by projects that our team has financed and know that we have added value to our community by generating housing, retail space and so many other commercial developments.”
Our loan proceeds are used to help our clients acquire, refinance, build or add value to assets and properties. Our partnership is critical to making these projects come to life.” — Lindsey Fudge, Managing Director of Middle, Market Commercial Real Estate
Prior to joining Tri Counties Bank, Fudge excelled for years in commercial real estate with other financial institutions. Her current team focuses on investor commercial real estate clients with needs for $5-50 million loans and with a goal to get clients to lending relationships of $20 million plus. “Our loan proceeds are used to help our clients acquire, refinance, build or add value to assets and properties,” she notes. “Our partnership is critical to making these projects come to life.”
Fudge is always just a phone call away for her team and encourages them to grow personally and professionally. She takes pride in connecting team members to clients, COIs and organizations. Her own connections are vast, as she’s actively involved with several industry organizations including Commercial Real Estate Women, for which she’ll be president in 2026; Association of Commercial Real Estate, where she was president in 2020; Urban Land Institute, where she held a board position for 10 years; and the CCIM Institute Northern California Chapter, where she sat on the board and obtained her CCIM Designation in 2023.
“We have great momentum going into 2025 and are looking to accelerate growth this year,” Fudge says. “We’re growing our team across California and I’ll be seeking folks to hire, building bench strength. My goal is to acquire talent who not only are amazing commercial real estate lenders but are also actively involved in the community — something Tri Counties Bank values highly as it strives to give back to all of our communities in which we operate.”
