Great experience!
Well I meet bill back in December 2016 he got recommended by my real estate agent we had a house in sight and started the process to get approved but we fail due to my work history and credit bill told me not to give up and put me in contact with a credit repair company they help me bring my score up and bill walk me thru the process of getting a new line so this time around we got approved before looking for our house after we found it we still had a couple of hick up but with bills help on Sunday 6-18-17 to be exact Father's Day bill called me to give me the great news that we had got approved and the closing date was as scheduled bill was more than just a lender to my family he became a friend and I'm alway going to have him in mind for any other financial situation.
--- Alejandres Felimon - Richmond, TX
I really liked his attitude!
I wouldn't usually say this but the way he had handled my mortgage was really pleasant. I personally enjoyed the time spent with him while we discussed feasible rates. He's a great man with a great personality and he offered really low interests as well. Definitely recommend him to others.
--- Tom Troiano - Atlantic City, NJ
He's nothing short of a miracle!
I'm a self-employed businessman and had him figure out the mortgage of the house after 30% down payment. The interest rates I received were incredibly low given what I had thought of earlier. One other important thing to note was that I hadn't really taken any loans earlier, so I had no credit history. He helped me out with all that as well so I can't really call him anything else but a miracle.
--- Fran Suarez - Cleveland, OH
He's really helpful!
I made a bid to him and the very same day he gave me an offer which I couldn't resist. It was too intimidating with those incredibly low interest rates and all, thoroughly recommend him.
--- Kenny Mickle - Houston, TX
Expeditious!
Bill was very expeditious and made it real easy going through the loan process. I felt he was on top of things.
I deal with investment properties and will more than likely call on him again.
--- Wayne King - Pensacola, FL
Bill was great!
Bill made us feel like a friend all the way thru the process. He was patient and explained everything he needed clearly. He was available ANYTIME we had questions or needed more information. Hopefully we won’t go thru this process again anytime soon, but if we do - we’d choose Bill! =)
--- Barbra & Nick Grimmer - Austin, TX
Great broker!
Bill was a great broker to work with. As first time home buyers we had many questions about the process, Bill took the time to help us even calling us back on weekends with answers. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a broker to work with.
--- Murray & Lisa Turner - Pensacola, FL
Outstanding service!
I couldn't have been more pleased with Bill's level of service. He made what is typically a lengthy, arduous process far quicker and easier at every turn. I'm extremely comfortable recommending Bill to friends and family, and will definitely utilize his services again!

🌆 Why Houston CRE Is Still a Lender Favorite in 2025 💼
🌆 Why Houston CRE Is Still a Lender Favorite in 2025 💼
🏢 Top Reasons Lenders Still Love Houston Commercial Real Estate in 2025 💰
Why Houston CRE Is Still Attractive to Lenders in 2025
Houston continues to prove itself as one of the most resilient commercial real estate (CRE) markets in the nation — and in 2025, lenders are taking notice. Despite tighter credit conditions and nationwide market corrections, Houston’s diverse economy, population growth, and strong asset fundamentals are keeping capital flowing into the city’s commercial properties.
🔹 1. Economic Diversification Drives Confidence
Houston’s economic stability goes far beyond energy. The region’s growth in healthcare, manufacturing, logistics, and tech sectors has balanced out the cyclical swings of oil and gas. This diversification makes Houston a safer bet for lenders who want predictable performance across market cycles.
🔹 2. Population Growth Fuels CRE Demand
With more than 7.5 million residents in the Greater Houston area, demand for industrial, multifamily, and mixed-use assets continues to rise. Lenders view population growth as a key buffer against vacancies and rent stagnation — ensuring long-term loan performance and lower default risk.
🔹 3. Industrial and Medical Assets Lead the Way
Industrial facilities near the Port of Houston, along with medical office buildings in West Houston and the Texas Medical Center, remain lender favorites. These asset types consistently outperform in both occupancy and rent growth, providing stable underwriting metrics for banks and private lenders alike.
🔹 4. Competitive Loan Structures from Diverse Capital Sources
From SBA 504 loans for owner-occupied real estate to DSCR and bridge loans for investors, Houston’s financing landscape remains deep. Platforms like Medallion Funds leverage over 600 lenders nationwide, ensuring borrowers can access competitive terms even as interest rates fluctuate.
🔹 5. Infrastructure and Corporate Relocations Keep Momentum Strong
Ongoing projects like the Grand Parkway expansion, I-10 corridor development, and corporate relocations to Katy and Fulshear have made West Houston a hotspot for investors. Lenders are eager to back markets tied to job creation and sustained infrastructure investment.
🔹 Final Takeaway
In 2025, Houston remains one of the most lender-friendly CRE markets in the U.S.. For borrowers, that means better access to capital, flexible structures, and opportunities to scale portfolios — even in a tighter credit environment.
If you’re looking to finance a commercial acquisition or refinance an existing property, Medallion Funds can connect you with the right lenders for your deal.
