2024 MBA CREF Conference Takeaways
Medalist Capital recently returned from this year’s MBA - Commercial Real Estate Finance Conference in San Diego. Consistently originating $1.1+ billion over 105+ transactions with 40+ different lenders in each of the last six years means we are hustling to ensure we find the best execution. It also means we must efficiently cover a lot of ground at this annual event, where many of our capital sources convene to share production accomplishments from the prior year as well as their allocations for the current year. All five of our offices were represented as we sent 10 people out to divide and conquer 57 separate meetings spread over two and a half days consisting of daily meals, receptions, and back-to-back 30-minute meetings. Our newest member Ian Anderson was included in this team, who will be expanding our footprint into the Nashville market. He hit the ground running with his first day on the job, which started with a Super Bowl party and 200 attendees from our various capital sources.
