Why the firm exists.

Why Ordway exists
Eleanor Hart founded Ordway in 2009 after twelve years in transaction services. Owner led companies were getting the junior team on the one deal that mattered most to them. The rule since then: the partner you meet runs the work, from the first call to completion.
Ownership and independence
Ordway is owned by its four partners. There are no outside investors. We take no fees from buyers on a sale we advise on, and we are not paid by any lender we introduce.
- Partner owned, no outside capital
- No buyer side fees on sell side work
- No lender commissions
