We are Vaster
A full integrated mortgage company, powered by local market experts
Founded in 2017 by South Florida’s biggest real estate firms
Vaster began as a joint venture between two of South Florida’s biggest real estate firms — Fortune International Group and The Related Group. We started as a residential private lender — closing on more than $150,000,000 in loans in the first two years in business. Since then, we’ve expanded our loan product offering to continue help more people build wealth through real estate.
“Vaster has grown into a more sophisticated company with the capabilities to cater to the needs of any buyer.”
— Edgardo Defortuna
CEO AND PRESIDENT, FORTUNE INTERNATIONAL GROUP
Located in the heart of Miami’s financial district
Vaster is located in Brickell, the financial district of Miami, Florida. Thanks to our partners’ local residential and commercial projects, we have extensive knowledge and expertise in the South Florida real estate market.
With our headquarters in gateway like Miami, we are able to deliver a seamless mortgage experience for both U.S. and foreign national clients.
