Effective May 1, Keith Medlin will re-join Grandbridge Real Estate Capital’s Charlotte production office as a vice president of origination. His responsibilities will encompass a broad array of advisory and placement services focused on providing permanent, construction/permanent, bridge, mezzanine, and equity capital to developers, buyers, and owners of commercial and multifamily real estate.

Medlin originally joined Grandbridge in 2007 and was a member of Charlotte Production’s analyst team from 2011 through 2014. He then transferred to Grandbridge’s proprietary lending platform, BB&T Real Estate Funding (BBTREF), where his roles included sourcing, underwriting, and closing commercial and multifamily loans throughout the U.S. for BBTREF’s structured, stabilized, and construction lending programs.

“We are excited about Keith’s return to production and believe that his ability to combine strong analytics and the lender’s perspective will create added value for our clients and position him extremely well for success as a mortgage banking originator,” said Senior Vice President Mike Ortlip, manager of the Charlotte production office.

Medlin brings with him more than 15 years of experience in the commercial mortgage business with a background as both a lender and an advisor. A native of Kernersville, North Carolina, Medlin is a 2004 alumnus of the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in finance.
