Wintrust Mortgage

As a first-time home buyer, mortgages were stressful, compounded by a challenging interest rate lock and numerous paperwork issues. Bill Katsoolias and their assistant, Diane McAllister, navigated these obstacles, kept everything on track, and ensured closing on time. Their expertise, patience, and clear communication made a stressful process much easier.

Working with Cody as our mortgage loan professional was an absolute game‑changer! From day one, he made the financing side of buying a home feel clear, manageable, and surprisingly stress‑free. Cody was incredibly responsive, patient, and knowledgeable—always ready to answer our questions (and we had plenty!). He explained every step in a way that actually made sense and helped us feel confident in our decisions instead of overwhelmed by numbers and paperwork. We always knew exactly where things stood and what was coming next. What really set Cody apart was how proactive he was. He stayed ahead of deadlines, caught details we would’ve never noticed, and made sure everything stayed on track. It was obvious he genuinely cared about getting us the best possible outcome, not just closing a loan. If you’re looking for a mortgage professional who is trustworthy, organized, and great to work with, Cody is your guy. We couldn’t be more grateful for his help and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone buying or refinancing a home. Thanks again, Cody—you made a huge difference in our home‑buying experience! -Jeff and Bekka

Brett Goins is an absolutely amazing mortgage lender. From our first phone call, I could just tell I was in good hands. Making the leap to become a first time home-buyer can be intimidating, but he truly made the entire experience as easy as possible. Brett is extremely knowledgeable, respectful, and honest, and held those core traits throughout the whole process. From start to finish, and even after, he has been proven to be reliable, easy to talk to, and has a wealth of information ready to share. Brett worked diligently to ensure my boyfriend and I got a mortgage that worked for us, our financial situation, and our first home itself. I would recommend ANYONE needing a mortgage lender to use Brett. On one of our phone calls to discuss mortgages, I joked that Brett was “Goins” to help to get me my first house… and he sure did! Brett, thank you for all of your help. I truly appreciate everything you have done for us and will be sending more business your way!

Scott is great to work with. He quickly answers questions and is in constant contact with you during the whole process. He is easy to contact. Scott is efficient and explains exactly what needs to happen.

I worked with Jennifer Bender to obtain a home loan. She is extremely knowledgeable and very easy to work with. Jennifer is straight forward with all the steps needed for obtaining a home loan. Everything involved with this process can be overwhelming, but Jennifer was first-rate during the entire proceedings. I highly recommend Jennifer Bender and Wintust Mortgage!

Jeff answered my emails very promptly and answered all my questions. I would recommend him to anybody I know!

Jason was extremely supportive throughout the mortgage and home-buying process. He was always responsive whenever I had questions and took the time to explain things clearly so I could fully understand each situation. His guidance and reassurance helped keep me calm and confident from start to finish. Thank you for everything.

Jeff Griffin and Wintrust mortgage made my refinance smooth and efficient.

From the beginning Tom kept my wife and I informed and laid out what we can expect in every step of the process. He was always extremely prompt to respond (even when we reached out late at night) to any questions we had with the exact details we were looking for and very easy to communicate with. It was a huge relief in what can be a stressful process working with Tom. He was always very friendly and professional. We were never left wondering what is going on at any point in the process working with Tom. Allison and I are extremely grateful to Tom and the team at Wintrust.

Amazing, loved working with Johnny and Emma!

Mark, made it simple. He kept me in the loop on everything and he worked with my financial advisor very well. Things went just as he said they would. I would highly recommend listening on what he has to offer. He was the right fit for me.

The whole process was outstanding. Jeff and his team answered all of my questions promptly and efficiently. The HELOC portal was also very easy to use and I really saved a lot of time submitting documents. Overall, the entire process of getting my HELOC approved and closed was much quicker than I anticipated.
