I was a nervous wreck throughout the entire home buying process and Dan was wonderful!! He helped us figure out our financials before we were truly house hunting, so we new what we could afford, and then when we made our offer and had a trillion hoops to jump through (because hoop jumping is how you buy a house) he guided us along smoothly. He also was very responsive and patient with my millions of questions! I highly recommend Dan Palumbo to anyone who needs a mortgage!! Thanks, Dan!!

Our agent, Danielle Wylie introduced me to Bernard Dugandzic when we were in the process of looking…read morefor our first home. Since the first phone call, I was so pleased with Bernard. I had called 4 other companies prior, and he was so kind and willing to explain the home buying and loan process to us in such great detail- we were so impressed. My husband and I were under contract for a townhome back in 2015 but it fell through when our old loan place wasnt able to get paperwork done in time, there was so many miscommunications, and most importantly I felt they were just trying to get me to sign a bunch of papers just to get the sale. So when I talked to Bernard i had some experience and somewhat knew what I was doing but was still very much in the dark about the whole home buying process. Our first experience was NOT the case AT ALL with Bernard- he was really concerned for us, what we could afford and live comfortably, and he explained each document i had to sign and I felt so calm during such a hectic process. He was available at all hours (yes! He even answered the phone at 10pm! And on weekends!!) He was so good about getting back to us right away, or connecting us with the right person to get things done. It was so easy to work with him, and never once did he make me feel like I was asking a 'stupid question'. My husband and I were so thrilled when he told us about the Welcome Home IL first time home buyers program and was able to assist us in getting $7,500 to help with our down payment, and assisted us in asking for closing credit and we got another $3,800. And at closing- we ended up getting a check from the seller since he was able to get us so many credits- how does that even happen!? Seriously, if it wasnt for Bernard, and his great team- we would have spent so much more and been so lost. I cant thank him and Carol Mills enough for their help and their attentiveness to us. Because of them- we are living in our dream home! I was so impressed with him and his team, I wrote about the process in my blog -- you can read it here! https://www.withlovetheeverydaygirl.com/blog/buying-our-condo Seriously I CANNOT recommend Bernard enough!

As soon as we liked a property, I sent Bernard a quick email and within hours we had our pre-approval letter for the property. We had to do that 3 times to find the right home that accepted our offer. The closing process was smooth and yes it was a lot of work getting all the info - you're buying a home, of course it should! We had some bumps in the road but that was due to the seller's incompetence, not the lending process. All in all, we had a great experience with Bernard. He's a great guy and does a great job in making you feel comfortable and educated on the process!!!

Simply put, Chris crushed it across the board with our entire process…read more To start with, he was extremely patient with my wife and I, as we took a break in the middle of the search process. He gave great advice throughout. While we were moving forward with our loan, Chris went above and beyond to ensure we were able to get the loan for the home we were set on. From there, he reached out when he found out we could lower our rates, and took care of everything for us. Chris has been fantastic for us through our entire lending process.

13-14 years ago my wife and I were buying a home and I was referred to Jason by my broker, before I…read moregot into the business. At the time, young and trying to understand too many things about the home buying process, we heavily relied on Jason's experience. My wife and I had quickly realized that Jason was providing an "above and beyond" service to us, got us a great rate, translated lending into common terms and he got the deal closed. We saved and really enjoyed working with him. At that time I pledged, that when I get into the business, he will be my lender. 1-2 years later I got my Broker's License and Jason has done over 100 loans for our clients and friends. Good guy that knows his stuff, and works hard to make it happen. In this industry its not the easy deals that show you off, its how you solve problems when things get tricky. He has never disappointed, and I highly recommend him.

None of that was Jason's fault. By phone or email, he was reliably easy to correspond with and communicated thoroughly without being inundating. His thinking several steps ahead in the loan process proved a great source of relief. Before prequalification for the co-op I eventually purchased, he ensured I understood the nuances of co-ops versus condos and, given a heftier-than-standard down payment, impressed upon me a liberal closing cost estimate before proceeding. He answered all emails/phone calls within a day, with the majority answered in a half hour or less no matter when contacted.

Interest rate is seemed to be very slightly higher than what I found later on via my bank. However, I can't say for sure, since the rates were rising rapidly when I got my loan.
