Our closing was delayed, but the fault was of the seller, as they had an HOA violation. Now things have been resolved. Wintrust did charge us some extra interest, however the seller paid that. Sean was AMAZING through the whole process, he kept me aware of what was going on and was extremely proactive with the lending process. I plan to use Sean and Wintrust going forward for all my lending needs.

I had the pleasure of working with Sean on my recent house purchase with my wife. Firstly, we had to switch over my current VA mortgage to a conventional loan to free it up to use on the new house, which he looked into and accomplished without issue. Then once we found a house we wanted to put an offer on, he did what he knows best and got to work. He let us know everything he needed from us as it came up and took care of what he could on his end. There is always stress that comes with buying a house, but working with Sean to do so, did not add any in the slightest. Friendly, efficient and professional. Can’t ask for more than that. ??
