After spending over a decade feeling unfulfilled in the world of corporate finance, Matthew Medinger was looking for a change. “I wanted a career where I could genuinely help others and make a positive impact on their lives,” Medinger explains. Taking the advice of a successful mortgage professional, he made the transition into the home financing industry — a move that would transform his career and his sense of purpose.

Today, eight years later, Medinger is an accomplished mortgage originator who has found his calling helping people reach their homeownership goals. “I love the excitement of seeing my clients achieve the American dream,” he says. From his branch in Orland Park, his commitment to client success extends across 13 states, where he offers personalized mortgage solutions ranging from conventional loans to niche financing.

In 2024, Medinger made the decision to join The Money Store. “I was drawn to their 50-year-long reputation for integrity, innovation and a relentless pursuit of client satisfaction,” he shares. “These attributes, combined with amazing pricing, make The Money Store a winning combination for my clients.” Since joining the lender, he has qualified for its Circle of Excellence, which recognizes the company’s most successful originators.

What sets Medinger apart is his ability to combine technical proficiency with a genuine understanding of the human side of the mortgage journey. His personal motto, “beyond transactions, building relationships,” perfectly captures his approach to client service. “Every day is another chance to make someone’s dream come true,” he says. “It’s the reason I get out of bed in the morning.”
