Thank you, Melissa, and good morning, everyone. On today's call, I will begin with an overview of our loan portfolio and third quarter performance before turning it over to Jared to discuss the macro perspective and its impact on our pipeline. Fernando will then review our financial results before we open the call for questions. Last evening, we reported third quarter results highlighted by distributable earnings per share that were above analyst consensus estimates. Our continued strong performance is a testament to the quality and strength of our loan book and is a direct result of our disciplined underwriting, originations, and asset management teams. With ample liquidity on hand, In an increasingly robust pipeline, we look forward to continuing to pursue attractive lending opportunities that further diversify and grow our portfolio. Turning to a few highlights from the third quarter, we delivered distributable earnings of $0.36 per share. The credit profile of our loan portfolio remains stable with an overall weighted average risk rating of 3.1, with no loans in default and no non-accrual loans. We received three loan payoffs totaling $70.6 million, demonstrating a consistent ability for our well-capitalized sponsors to be refinanced in the current environment. And we furthered our loan production, building one new commitment totaling $16 million. Turning to our third quarter portfolio activity, our conservatively underwritten portfolio continues to experience repayments across a range of property types. During the quarter, we received a repayment of our two Portland, Oregon multifamily loans totaling $33.1 million and our Auburn University student housing loan for $37.5 million. We also closed one new loan with a repeat borrower of ours totaling $16 million secured by a recently constructed hotel located in Greater Orlando. Turning to our loan book as of September 30th, Seven Hills portfolio remained 100% invested in floating rate loans, which consisted of 20 first mortgages with an average loan size of $30 million and total commitments of $594 million, which is a decrease of approximately 9% or $58 million from last quarter. Future fundings remain consistent at approximately 6% of total commitments. Our investments have a weighted average coupon of 8.9 percent and an all-in yield of 9.3 percent. In aggregate, the portfolio has a weighted average maximum maturity of 2.5 years when including extension options and a stable overall credit profile with an average risk rating of 3.1 and a weighted average loan-to-value at close of 68 percent. None of our loans are rated 5. We continue to make progress diversifying our loan book As of quarter end, our office exposure was 30%, a slight uptick from last quarter due to the three loan payoffs received in the third quarter, yet our office exposure remains greatly reduced from a high of 40% last year, and we remain focused on decreasing our office exposure further as we grow our portfolio. More importantly, all of our office loans remain current and continue to be supported by their sponsors. Multifamily continues to be one of our largest property types at 28% this quarter, and the balance of our portfolio is comprised of retail, industrial, and hotel loans. Our loans are also diversified by geographic region, with most properties located in the south and west. From a capital perspective, our lending partners remain very supportive of our business, and we recently extended two of our three repurchase facilities. We extended the city facility for two years until September of 2026 and our Wells Fargo facility until March of 2026. With that, I'll now turn the call over to Jared.
