At American Advantage Lindow Insurance, our mission is to be more than just an insurance provider; we’re a partner in helping businesses and individuals thrive. In this month’s spotlight, we’re proud to feature Mach1 Lending and Mach1 Capital, led by a long-time client who has relied on our producer, Christine Kilpin, to support their growing business ventures and evolving insurance needs.
For the founders of Mach1, the Machi family’s journey started with a dream of financial freedom. “We were working in corporate finance but wanted to build something lasting outside of the corporate world,” they shared. What began as an investment in income-producing properties soon blossomed into a successful venture, thanks in part to Christine’s steady support as their insurance advisor. “It was through a mutual friend that we met Christine, who quickly became our go-to resource for insuring our properties. Christine not only helps us keep an eye on property valuations but also ensures our coverage stays aligned with our evolving needs.”
As their portfolio grew, the Mach1 team began exploring house flipping, and eventually, they took on a lending role to support others with similar real estate ambitions. Word-of-mouth referrals led to the launch of Mach1 Lending, a private lending company that offers real estate investors financing solutions to grow their portfolios. The business then expanded to include Mach1 Capital, an SEC-registered firm that provides investors with steady returns through hard money loans. Christine’s involvement grew alongside these ventures, providing Errors & Omissions coverage and acting as the mortgagee for Mach1 Lending properties.
In the fast-paced real estate business, timely insurance is crucial to maintaining Mach1’s reputation for quick closings. “Time is money in real estate, and having insurance squared away efficiently is key,” shared the founder. “Christine’s responsiveness and customer service allow us to move forward with confidence, knowing we’re protected.”
In fact, Christine’s proactive approach to addressing Mach1’s unique needs has been a game-changer for the team. “Christine understands that in our industry, things move fast, and she’s always there to make sure our insurance needs don’t hold us back,” said the founder. “Having a knowledgeable partner who gets the intricacies of our business is something we rely on daily.”
When it comes to navigating challenging situations, Christine’s expertise has consistently proven invaluable. One example stands out in particular. “I once needed insurance quotes from two agents, including Christine. Though her quote came in slightly higher, she immediately clarified that the other agent had overlooked key details related to the materials and type of property we were insuring,” Mach1’s founder recalled. “Christine's expertise reminded us that cost alone isn’t the full picture—her attention to detail has proven its worth time and time again. We trust her completely.”
This commitment to transparency and knowledge is something Christine’s clients have come to appreciate deeply. “She’s my go-to insurance agent, especially for our investors who sometimes face challenges finding coverage,” they shared. “Whenever someone runs into a problem securing insurance, I send them to Christine, and she always comes through.”
For Mach1’s founder, Christine is more than just an insurance agent; she’s a trusted partner who truly cares about her clients’ success. “Christine is amazing,” the founder emphasized. “She’s prompt, thorough, and if she doesn’t immediately have an answer, she’ll find it. Her insights have been incredibly valuable to us, and we can’t say enough good things about her and Lindow Insurance.” This level of commitment and dedication has built a lasting relationship based on trust, support, and mutual respect.
