We’re proud to announce that CV3 CEO Bill Tessar has been named a 2026 HousingWire Vanguard—his fourth time receiving this prestigious recognition, following honors in 2018, 2022, and 2024! The HousingWire Vanguard Award recognizes C-suite leaders whose vision and leadership are moving markets forward and creating an impact across the broader housing economy. While Bill’s 2024 honor reflected his ability to build a company through adversity, this year’s recognition represents the next chapter of his leadership: building a vertically integrated ecosystem, expanding the business-purpose lending (BPL) capital base, and developing the industry’s next generation of leaders.
The honor comes on the heels of CV3 celebrating it’s third anniversary since launching in 2023—one of the most defining milestones of Bill’s career. Under his leadership, CV3 originated more than $1 billion during the first half of 2026 and continues to evolve beyond lending... reimagining what a private lender can be.
