Company History

Real Lease, Inc. was founded by its President and CEO, Robert D. Noonan, in March 1988.

Real Lease began as a local, small ticket leasing specialist; and the Company has grown into a strong, reputable, regional leasing company with a large customer base across commercial and industrial businesses, not-for-profit organizations and municipalities. As it has grown, the Company’s product mix has evolved in both size and scope to include: operating leases, capital leases, tax-exempt municipal leases, and rental agreements.

What distinguishes Real Lease from other equipment leasing – vendors and even financial institutions – is the professional, personal service they provide. Real Lease’s equipment leasing specialists work together with their clients to make sure they’ve got the right lease to meet the specific funding objectives, and that the leasing process is fast and easy. In fact, leasing specialists handle nearly every aspect of the lease transaction for their clients. 

Real Lease has established co-marketing relationships with numerous local, regional, even national equipment vendors which further simplifies doing business with Real Lease, not to mention the overall equipment acquisition process.

The Company was named to the “Rochester Top 100” list of the fastest-growing privately held companies for the years 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2004.
