I know the name of two great places to obtain a home loan. I run a new home business and my partner and I always get our loans from Baytree Bank in Lake Forest. It is a wonderful experience. It is a small bank, that is very similar to a British banking experience. The webpage is
http://www.baytreebank.com. Then there is a place in Chicago called HomeStart Mortgage. They are very helpful with people that need extra help and need to get creative, eventhough Baytree was very creative with my loan. A woman that I could recommend at HomeStart would be Jude Santefort. At Baytree, Pamela Drysdale is great she is so personable, friendly, and she loves to get things done. She will work very hard with the bank board members to approve loans. Baytree bases the approval of their loans more on your character than your credit score. Baytree specializes in Jumbo loans, generally over $1,000,000.
