About a year ago I was looking for a rental house. My Realtor suggested that I buy instead of renting. I had been through a divorce, a bankruptcy and had been laid off due to the poor economy. I decided to give it a shot anyway and was lucky enough to meet Chris Graham at C F Funding. I wasn't ready at the time but Chris told me that in a year he should be able to help me. I recently contacted Chris again and this time, he was able to get me a loan. I closed on my new house on June 5th! I was a nervous wreck throughout the whole process and Chris was there for me every step of the way to answer my questions or calm my nerves. (Mostly calm my nerves) :) Chris is a great guy that truly cares about the people he is working with. He fought for me and made sure that I got my loan. I found a house that I truly love! I couldn't be happier!! I wouldn't have even tried to get financed without Chris's encouragement and would still be living in a rental. My mortgage is less than $20 a month more than my rent was and my house is so much nicer - and it's mine! I would recommend C F Funding and Chris Graham to anyone trying to buy a house or get re financed. In fact, I wouldn't and won't go anywhere else. I'm a customer for life now. HUGE THANK YOU to Chris and everyone at C F Funding in Plainfield, IL!!! You guys ROCK !!!!!!! :) read more

When I first received something in the mail from Chris and CF Funding, I thought it was just another gimmick, as had been the case on all previous occasions when it came to refinancing our home, each and every one of which ended in disappointment and failure. Chris took his time to patiently explain to me how he and his organization were different. He turned out, to our delight and success, to be 100% correct!! We were able to successfully refinance our home at at jumbo 15 year 3.5% fixed rate. Chris, by performing this 'miracle", has literally saved us hundreds of thousands of dollars. He was not only successful, but also warm, genuinely caring and beyond professional every step of the way. As Chris himself already knows, we would never even dream of using anyone else again to refinance our home. To no surprise, we referred my nephew and niece to Chris, and, once again, with a successful outcome. You will find nobody better than Chris Graham in this business of refinancing. read more

Buying my first home was such an exciting and important milestone in my life, and I am truly grateful to have had Chris by my side throughout the entire process. As a first-time homebuyer, I had many questions and a lot to learn, but Chris was always there to provide guidance, support, and reassurance every step of the way. He was incredibly patient, professional, and always took the time to explain everything clearly and make sure I understood the loan process. His knowledge, dedication, and genuine care made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel smooth and stress-free. I always felt supported and confident knowing I had Chris helping me through this important journey. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a loan officer who truly cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to help them achieve their dreams. Thank you, Chris, for making my first home-buying experience such a positive, memorable, and special one! read more

If you're looking for someone to work with who genuinely cares about his clients and takes pride in his craft, Chris is the guy. As first time homebuyers, my husband and I could not have asked for a better loan officer to guide us along the unfamiliar and new process of pre-approval and home buying. Chris Graham had our best interest at heart, carefully talked us through all things pre-approval, giving us advice to consider as real life people.. not just business acquaintances. Called us and texted us along the way. He gave professional input and advice. Presented all our options for financing. He even took it a step beyond and worked directly with our attorneys & contacted the sellers agent to validate our secure financial standings when they were considering our offer. He goes above and beyond for his clients. Nothing but positive comments on working with chris.. We have been blessed to live in our forever home since March because of Chris. read more

Chris Graham and CF Funding...Where too start? If I could give them 10 stars I would! Great guy and very easy to work with. My wife and I spent two years refinancing an underwater rental property, refinancing our primary residence and then eventually purchasing, renovating and moving into a foreclosed major renovation fixer-upper. A lot, A lot A lot...Chris was there every step of the way. Whether it was the actual paperwork needed for all of these financial moves or just a question. He is very knowledgeable and I trust and value his option. I have sent many customers to him as a result of his hard work and I will continue to use Chris for all of my mortgage needs without question. Thanks again Chris! Excellent work! read more

Chris Graham helped me with my mortgage, and I have to say, he made it as easy as could be. I was clueless when it came to getting a mortgage for my first house, and I got his name from a friend of mine that he had also helped previously. From pre-approval to closing, he was very professional, was honest and up front with every aspect along the way, and answered every question I had (even when I didn't really know what or how to ask the question). I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. read more

As a single mom refinancing solo for the first time Chris Graham was wonderful in answering all my questions as well as pointing out important points that I may have over looked. Chris returned any phone calls/emails within minutes and made any exchanges of paperwork very accomidating for me. He was able to make what seemed to be a daunting process into simple tasks. I plan an recommending him to friends and family and certainly anyone looking for a trustworthy, insightful mortgage banker. read more

Chris was unbelievable. I hadn't needed a home loan since prior to the real estate crash and heard so many rumors of how difficult the process had became. With Chris' help, we secured and almost immediate pre-approval, found our house, put in an acceptable bid and received final loan approval on the new house in the matter of only a couple of days. Plenty of time for a hassle-free closing. Thank you, Chris. I will be referring you to everyone I know looking for a mortgage. read more

Since we recently moved to the US, we had very little information about credits and loan processes. Thanks to Chris's guidance from A to Z, we went through a super smooth process without any problems. At every stage, we received detailed information and were thoroughly briefed before moving on to the next step. We are very grateful for Chris Graham's support and highly recommend him to everyone. read more

This was my first time home buying experience in USA and Chris met all my expectations. Don't know how many times I called him over the phone during working and off hours and asked him lots of questions; and he was always there to help me out.

Chris was outstanding from start to finish! As a first-time homebuyer, I was clueless when it came to purchasing a home, but Chris answered all my questions and made the process very smooth.

I was referred to Chris and could not have been happier with his service. This was the first time I refinanced my mortgage, so I shopped around to a couple of different banks and lenders, and found that Chris stood out from them all. He answered all of my questions, and kept me updated throughout the whole process. I will be using Chris for all of my future mortgage needs read more

I worked with Chris during our process of purchasing a home and it was amazing. We purchased during a time when the market was insane, and if it had not been for Chris, we would not be in our home right now. Chris is amazing, and will go above and beyond expectations to ensure a successful outcome. He is a great resource, and is very pleasant to work with. Highly recommend! read more

Chris is an excellent loan officer. He was constantly in touch with us and really supported us through the home buying process. He is very professional and extremely knowledgeable.
