I had a great experience working with Steve Smith and his office. Even during this busy time in the mortgage industry, I was able to get through the loan process in record time and got a very competitive rate. I would recommend Steve to anyone looking to secure a loan or refinance.

Steve,saved the day on a refi & new mortgage in CA.Steve took charge & was in constant communication.On the mortgage in CA,he was a TEAM leader,keeping everyone in both Chicago & in CA on task.Steve went above & beyond,when he had to step in & help the buyers lender over many hurdles.This was done gratis,which speaks volumes for what he can do as a knowledgeable professional & in doing the "right thing�.Out of all the moves & lenders I have worked with over the years,Steve is THE BEST,bar none. He is the type of guy that you would want to have a drink with-a true litmus test,in my opinion.

Steve Smith is an outstanding loan officer, incredible communicator, very professional, and motivated. With the team's frequent communication and the online setup, the application process couldn't have been easier. Everything went incredibly smooth and the title company performed our closing in home. Can't beat that! Thanks Steve!

Steve Smith and his team are the best. They handled our loan in approximately one month (application to closing), even though the holidays fell in the same period. I would recommend Steve and his team to anyone. He was always available to me, even on short notice - from the time we were considering making an offer through the day of closing. I always received an immediate reply, even if something needed to be researched further. We always felt that we knew where the process stood, every step of the way. I am a repeat client and I would not trust (or risk) the process with anyone else!
