Testimonials

"Our marina began operation just four years ago, and we have quickly expanded our number of slips to become the largest marina operation in the State of Oklahoma. Frankly, our greatest challenge in meeting consumer demand was due to not having local or regional financial professionals that understood the marina business, despite the number of lakes and marina operations in Oklahoma and surrounding states.

Undoubtedly, we would have been constrained in our expansion had we not met Andrew Cantor and NorthPoint Marina Finance. To our delight, with Andrew we not only found a savvy financial mind with strong industry connections, but also a partner in our business that shared his vast knowledge of the industry structure and customer service that furthered our rapid growth.  Having experienced traditional local banking, and then experiencing the NorthPoint financing approach, I would hate to think of the opportunities we would have missed without the thoughtful, honest and earnest efforts of Andrew and his company.

When you go to the doctor, you are well advised to go the best specialist available. Similarly, for your financial health and well being, you really need an expert when you desire to start or further development your marina operations. NorthPoint and Andrew Cantor have that "specialist" capability that only experience and earned reputation can provide."

"NorthPoint Marina Finance assisted us in securing construction financing for Aquamarina Hidden Harbour and, later, in our refinancing of existing bank debt on Aquamarina Hi-Lift. Andrew Cantor's years of experience in lending combined with his knowledge of marina operations proved invaluable in facilitating communication with the lender.

Too often during the underwriting process, all parties involved can become distracted with unnecessary complexities. Andrew exhibited professionalism, integrity, and a voice of reason in resolving issues as they arose, which allowed us to complete the loan fundings within the required timeframe. I recommend NorthPoint to anyone seeking a loan for their marina."

"Since 2006, we have had the privilege of working with Andrew Cantor on acquisition financing for two of our premier marina properties, as well as construction financing for the complete redevelopment of another marina.  Throughout all of our work together, Andrew consistently demonstrated his knowledge of the marina industry and about the needs of lenders.

More importantly, Andrew put this knowledge to work on our behalf in order to create an appropriate balance between our needs as a marina operator and the needs of the lenders. Although we consider ourselves to be sophisticated in the lending markets, Andrew made himself an integral part of IGY's team and made significant contributions to our financing efforts.

Please know that we hope to work with Andrew for many years to come and are pleased to recommend NorthPoint's services to others."
