Customer Testimonials
"Don Williams and his company have been Childress Klein Properties' mortgage banker of choice for over 15 years. His unique skills make him a very valuable asset for us; interestingly, I believe most lenders feel he is just as strong an asset for them. For these reasons as well as the high degree of trust we have in Don, we have placed over $200 million with him over the years. We look forward to working with Medalist Capital and their lenders for many years to come."

"In a depressed economic environment when financing is difficult to secure, there is one individual who has his finger on the pulse of the mortgage market…he is Michael Strober. Anyone can be a hero in good times. It is the facilitator, however, who has nurtured the key lending sources over the years, whose loans will go to the top of the stack when money becomes tight and only a select number of transactions will be approved. That person is Michael Strober. And when a complication arises out of nowhere just before the closing, or when an existing loan needs the lenders understanding, one “go to” guy has consistently found a way to “get the deal done”…Michael Strober. Throw in a wonderful sense of humor, an abundance of energy and a temperament that allows him to keep his head when all around him are losing theirs and you have a unique mortgage banker who has always delivered the goods be it times of prosperity or economic distress."

"Having placed over $100 million in permanent financing for our organization, Don Williams and his team at Medalist Capital have been a valued business partner of our organization for over fifteen years. Crosland uses Don and Medalist Capital for three primary reasons. First and foremost, Don consistently exhibits impeccable integrity and business ethics. Second, they have rock solid relationships with the top tier pool of Lenders. Third, they have a passion for protecting the best interests of their customers.
"Given the depth, size and track record of Crosland, we could choose to deal directly with permanent Lenders. Nonetheless, we have not chosen this route because of the business insight, strategic consultation and customer service that Don and his team consistently deliver. Put simply, my job is made easier and Crosland is benefited greatly because of the debt, capital sources and financial structures that Medalist Capital delivers to us."
— Ned Long, Chief Financial Officer
Crosland, Inc.
“Medalist Capital handled several loans for our firm recently. They were very well organized and the transaction required only a minimum amount of work on our part. They not only negotiated the best rates and terms, but also took into consideration the estate planning of our owners. You can depend on what they tell you because they check everything out thoroughly before involving you. We highly recommend their services.”

“Don, I wanted to thank you personally for the outcome we achieved here. I know you have been guiding this one along for some time, and you and your team at Medalist Capital achieved a result that was nearly impossible to contemplate when we started. You also provided us with wise counsel in navigating some tough spots, for which we are very grateful. This is definitely the start of a mutually beneficial relationship and we greatly look forward to that. Thank you again for everything you have done for us.”

"We were very impressed with Medalist Capital and Scott Mauzy's professionalism throughout our entire refinancing process. His ability to meet our needs, no matter how often we changed directions on him, told us we were working with someone on our side. Scott took the time to explain the differences between types of lenders, their terms, and their interest rate quotes. He stayed involved in the transaction from beginning to end, rather than just hearing from him at the beginning and end. He knew exactly where we were in the refinance process at all times, providing timely advice and prompting us to action when needed. Thanks to Scott's leadership, this was a painless transaction."

Quite simply, when we have a need, he has delivered competitive options to meet that need in a timely, professional manner and we will continue to look to him to do so."
