Congressional Capital, LLC

With all the new great people joining us recently, I wanted to officially introduce myself! I’m Brian Athey, President of Congressional Capital. I founded this company over a decade ago, and it’s been an incredible journey ever since. 🙌🏼 My main focus is meeting new borrowers and ensuring our existing clients receive the best service possible. What I love most about being a hard money lender is the opportunity to help people succeed. Over the years, we’ve had countless success stories that I’m genuinely proud to be a part of, from helping first-time flippers to supporting seasoned investors in their ventures, both in business and beyond. My motto is simple: I strive to help as many people as possible achieve success, starting with my kids and extending to everyone I care about. Outside of work, you’ll often find me at sporting events, enjoying live music (I’m a huge Dave Matthews fan) and exploring new places with my kids. Coaching their sports teams is one of my favorite ways to spend time with them. At Congressional Capital, we’re committed to providing personalized lending solutions tailored to your unique needs. We understand that each borrower is different, and we’re here to empower you to achieve your dreams, whether you’re a new investor or an experienced developer. We’re with you every step of the way. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want to learn more about how we can help you. We’re here to assist you in your success and real estate development journey. 💸🏡 #hardmoney #hardmoneymondays #hardmoneyloans #realestateinvesting #realestatedevelopers #realestatedevelopment #dcdevelopment #dcrealestate #dcdevelopers #propertyinvestment

Have you seen this BEAUTIFULLY renovated townhouse in the heart of Capitol Hill? 😍 This is a stunning example of quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design from one of our incredible borrowers! This nearly 3,300 sq ft home has been transformed with only the finest finishes to meet modern luxury standards. Great job! Inside, the main house offers 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 2 half baths, complete with a chef’s kitchen featuring paneled designer appliances and custom cabinetry. The top floor is an entertainer’s paradise—think wet bar, half bath, and a rooftop deck with jaw-dropping views of the Washington Monument and Library of Congress. And it doesn’t stop there! The two-story carriage house adds even more flexibility, perfect for a gym, office, or au pair suite, with a Tesla charging station in the climate-controlled garage. Life on the Hill doesn’t get better than this!  👏 ⤵️ What do you think of this space?

Looking back at to one of our borrower’s standout projects on H Street NE, Washington DC! ✨ We had the privilege of financing 714 Eleventh Condominium, a boutique building featuring 12 thoughtfully designed one- and two-bedroom units. At Congressional Capital, we’re proud to support developers like this who bring quality, efficiency, and thoughtful design to the DC market.

Want to build wealth? Real estate is one of the best options! 🏡🤝 And if you need funds for your next investment, let your projects do the talking! When you invite potential lenders to see your work firsthand, you’re not just showing them a property—you’re showing them your credibility. This approach does two things: it makes lenders more likely to partner with you, and it can help you secure better financing terms. Building trust and a solid reputation with lenders is key to creating long-term partnerships and opening the door to more opportunities. So, let your work speak for itself and watch the investments roll in. Ready to take your next big step? Let’s connect and explore how we can collaborate on your next project! #realestate #realestateinvesting #realestateinvestor #realestatedevelopment #dcrealestate #investing #buildingwealth

Let’s take a look back at one of our standout projects from 2022 where we loaned one of our borrowers the funds to transform a single-family rowhome into two luxury duplex condominium units in the thriving Trinidad neighborhood. 🙌🏼 From a complete gut renovation to a stunning addition, this project shines with high-end finishes like quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. With spacious living areas, 2 balconies, and a rooftop deck offering unobstructed views of the Capitol and Washington Monument, this home was designed for relaxation and entertaining. The transformation also included secure off-street parking and new mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems—everything you’d expect in a luxury property. We love seeing our borrowers bring their ambitious visions to life, and we’re honored to be part of it. We’d love to hear your thoughts on this renovation!
