5.0/5.0

Closed with lender They are very professional and stick with what they promised to me from the beginning to the end. At the closing, the actual closing cost is exactly the same as what they quoted on the Good Faith Estimated (GFE) document. To collect and prepare relevant mortgage document, their staff Kathy De Mello did a great job in communicating with homeowners association and me. The companys representative Brett Boyke went to the titles company at the closing day. Since I did not hire a lawyer for the purchase transaction, Brett Boyke even volunteered to help review and explain to me the closing document. To sum up, I am very happy with the services delivered by professionals from WinTrust Mortgage.

Closed with lender We selected Brett based on reviews we read from previous customers - and therefore our expectations were extremely high. Despite this fact - we were totally impressed with Brett and his team throughout the entire process. They were always prompt and always responsive. Our closing date was first accelerated and then postponed 3 times because of seller preferences and issues. Brett handled everything with professionalism, courtesy, and a sense of humor. We cannot say enough about Brett except to say we have recommended him to our friends and look forward to doing business with him again in the future. Thanks again Brett -
