Bob and the Wintrust team helped make our first home buying experience as easy as possible. Every step of the process was outlined for us from the jump and there were no surprises along the way. Even after some hiccups in the appraisal process and an expedited timeline, Bob and team were able to make up for lost time to ensure we stayed on track for our closing date. Most of this work was going on around Thanksgiving and Christmas, so we’re especially grateful for the support and guidance during this busy time of year. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience and plan to use Wintrust if/when needed in the future.

We started looking for homes 3 plus years ago and had spoken to Bob. He followed up consistently over the years while we took the 3 year break. He recognized we needed information fed slowly to us over that time to build up our knowledge and continue to maintain the relationship for when we were ready to make the purchase again.
