Gilmore Homes – Gilmore Loans, LLC was founded in Hattiesburg, Mississippi in 2015, and established as a domestic, limited liability company in Atlanta, Georgia in 2018. In 2021, the company moved its headquarters and operations to Los Angeles, California (with main office in Beverly Hills).

In May of 2019, Gilmore Homes – Gilmore Loans, LLC filed its Regulation A+, Tier II application, filing, forms and amendments with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch a $50,000,000 (fifty million) crowdfund to both accredited and nonaccredited investors (General Public) in order to sell its stock (equity) (members interest) to develop both residential and commercial real estate juxtaposed consumer goods and businesses. Ironically, on the Founder’s Birthday in the year 2020, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) QUALIFIED the Offering. Gilmore Homes – Gilmore Loans, LLC became the second African American owned company to ever reach this feat (Regulation A+ Tier 2) in the history of the United States. Formerly the Michael L. Gilmore Development Co., the firm became the first African American company to reach a Regulation 506 D status in 2006. In 2021, the fund ended its’ 12 month period. For FY 2022, our firm is “Testing the Waters” again for our 2nd fund for $75,000,000 after SEC qualification.
