I was trying to get a mortgage with one of the well-known banks; however, the process was taking too much time. During my closing, I decided to switch to Wintrust Mortgage, and I have been extremely grateful for how quickly everything moved. My loan officer, Caryn Chlavac, was always responsive, and I truly felt supported throughout the entire process. I want to express my sincere gratitude to Brian Jessen’s team and to everyone at Wintrust Mortgage.

Caryn Hlavac . She is not mentioned specifically in this review process, but she like all of the others were exceptional. She did an excellent job of keeping me informed and keeping my head in the deal. Absolutely needs to be noted here.. some of the things that were problematic not because they were wrong just that they were difficult for me. She was able to get me through them.
