Sachem Capital Corp. operates in the “other” sector, within the financial industry, as a mortgage REIT focused on originating short-term real estate loans secured by first-lien mortgages.
Founded in the United States, the company was created to provide capital to real estate developers and investors seeking financing for the acquisition, construction, renovation, or rehabilitation of residential and commercial properties.

Sachem Capital’s operations are concentrated in the U.S., with stronger presence across the Northeastern states and Florida. Its client base includes developers, independent investors, and construction-related businesses.
The company’s performance is influenced by interest-rate movements, real estate market conditions, borrower credit quality, and regulatory requirements applicable to REITs. Sachem emphasizes capital preservation, risk-adjusted returns, and diversified loan exposure.
Its operational structure includes teams dedicated to credit analysis, loan origination, servicing, underwriting, legal support, and administrative operations. As a mortgage REIT, the company distributes most of its taxable income to shareholders under U.S. REIT regulations.

History and When Sachem Capital Corp. Was Founded
Sachem Capital Corp. was founded in 2010 in Branford, Connecticut, with the goal of providing short-term, asset-backed financing to the real estate market. Initially focused on regional lending, the company expanded its portfolio in line with the growing demand for fast, collateralized credit solutions.
In 2016, the company underwent a corporate restructuring and adopted its current name, strengthening its position as a mortgage REIT.
Its initial public offering (IPO) took place on February 10, 2017, on the NYSE American, enabling the company to expand its capital base and scale its lending activities.
Between 2020 and 2024, the company faced challenges related to rising interest rates and volatility in real estate markets, prompting adjustments in credit policies and additional loan-loss provisioning.
Even so, it maintained its strategy focused on secured lending and capital preservation, establishing itself as a leading small-to-mid-size mortgage REIT in the United States.
