I worked with Kelly on a delayed financial and cash out refinance. I bought a property cash and I needed to pull out the money asap instead of waiting for 6 months like most banks require.

I have used Kelly Brizzolara for years exclusively. She is attentive and helpful and the most accommodating bank professional I have worked with for loans and refinancing You can always count on her. And please overlook my user name, seems my daughter hijacked my Google account AGAIN.
Kelly was wonderful through getting me the loan I needed for my project. She was professional, quick to communicate and process the application. After working with multiple banks and reps over the last few months, this was the best experience and quickest process. Thank you, Kelly and First American Bank.
I work construction and sometimes have periods of unemployment. I was dreading doing a refinance because the last one felt like a circus with hoop after hoop to jump thru, and took months. This was so fast, easy and straight forward. Kelly was great to deal with. Hopefully this is our last refinance, but if not I'm definitely going thru Kelly again.
I had a great refi experience with Kelly! She knows her business well, has a great staff, structured my loan just the way I wanted it, and answered my questions quickly (or made sure someone else did). I highly recommend Kelly! Here’s another 5-star. I had a very good overall mortgage refinance loan experience with Kelly Brizzolara (AVP), Jennine S. (Mortgage Coordinator) and First American Bank. Despite a few, minor rough spots in the process that I'll mention below, Kelly and First American Bank have my full recommendation. As for First American Bank, the interest rate was competitive. The escrow requirements were typical/fair (but OUCH! like always). Their online process seemed pretty solid. The application portal said I was "approved" right from the start after approving the credit check request (kind of annoying because of all of the additional requests). I was offered to schedule closing within two weeks of the initial online application, with the next available closing appointment being 10 days later. Not bad. (I've been through the re-fi process before, so I was fairly-well prepared with documents ready, so that probably helped shorten the process.) In the process, there was the online application/status portal, and the document upload portal, and the document signing portal (a little more arduous, but not too bad). The process had the typical underwriting requests for documentation, but with surprisingly quick turnaround. Being self-employed, the document requests were a little more involved, but mostly fair; they asked (mostly) for the kinds of things I'd ask for in their shoes to make sure I was a legitimate borrower. I think at some point, somebody in underwriting realized that some of the documents requested on the portal were not relevant to my situation or over-the-top given what they had learned about me. Appreciated that, even if imagined. But the document upload requests never disappeared from the portal. I got the offer to close with several documents still listed as not uploaded. I double-checked with Jennine and she confirmed we could schedule closing without any more document uploads. I think some of the notations on the document requests (i.e. Is he going to sign the tax return?) were more internal communications that they will probably improve on. (As I had previously explained in an email, I filed the tax return in question electronically, and failed to keep a copy of [and upload] the signature page that I sent to the accountant. I offered to request a signed copy from the accountant. No response, but the form eventually showed up in the stack of closing documents for signature. Fair enough, but rough communication.)
I worked with Kelly Brizzolara for a Condo Refinance and I could not have been happier with the outcome. We were able to significantly lower our monthly payment by taking advantage of the low interest rate environment. Kelly was extremely helpful throughout the process and was always quick to respond with any questions/concerns that came up. Thank you again Kelly!
Kelly Brizzolara was a pleasure to work with. I'd not hesitate to work with Kelly for your loan. She answered all of my questions along the way and the process went very smoothly.
Kelly and her team are professional and extremely responsive. All questions answered without delay. Definitely 5 stars!
Kelly - Is the best! She answered all my questions with the quickest response. We never doubted where we were at in the loan process because she kept us informed with each step. We ended up changing the type of loan in the middle of the process and she didn't even miss a beat just said okay yes we can do that and I think that will be better for you and meet your needs. The best I have ever worked with and would recommend her to everyone.
Kelly was great, very easy to work with. Walk us through every step. Everything was done in a timely manner. 👍 To Kelly and her team
Kelly was exceptionally helpful and prompt to answer questions. She made the process very simple.
Kelly and her team were great everything went well and as planned .It was a pleasure to deal with responsive people who still believe in customer service .
Hey everyone, I recently refinanced my home with Kelly. I was intimidated and did not know where to start but Kelly helped me throughout the entire process. I have already referred her to two family members. Excellent service! Her team is thorough and friendly :)
Kelly is amazing!! I own two businesses, with 60+ employees and very complicated tax returns. This didn't slow Kelly down on my new home loan. She is intelligent, up to date with the latest in the industry, and always reachable when you need her (phone or email)! I'll be using Kelly & First American Bank again on the next one =)
I have been with them for over 10 years with two homes and a few refis. Kelly and the team are very responsive and detail oriented. Terrific follow through.
Overall, Kelly was very helpful, knowledgably and responsive to all our questions and needs. Would recommend here for anyone's future loan needs.
We have used Kelly a couple of times in the past few years. She is fantastic at her job and a pleasure to deal with. Always has quick responses with appropriate answers to any questions that arise. Kelly has always delivered on her promises. We look forward to working with Kelly in the future.
I have dealt with many loans both personal and business and Kelly is by far the best that I have done business with. She is extremely knowledgeable and helps with any issues or concerns you may have. She streamlined my personal loan with expertise and I highly recommend everyone to ask for her if you ever need a loan.
Very helpful with both of my refinances of my home this past year. She was always available to answer my questions. She Is very kind and thoughtful, not to mention very knowledgeable.
Working with Kelly and her team was almost effortless. They are definitely first rate! First American offered the best refinance rate and APR of all the other companies that I shopped. I will definitely recommend her to all my friends and family. Thank You!
Kelly and her team have been great! I have refinanced twice now and would recommend them to anyone.

Kelly is an extremely patient loan officer which is a requirement when dealing with me. I am very demanding and she delivered without a hick-up. She even came to my office to sign documents. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing banking services.
Very helpful and knowledgeable and attentive, And refinance process was smooth and prompt.
I had the most wonderful experience working with Kelly Brizzolara and highly recommend her for purchases and refi’s! Every step in the process was very easy from the application and submitting documents, to the closing. And any time I had a question, Kelly got back to me with the answer quickly. Great experience!!
She is my super star. Because of the pandemic, everything had to be done on line. I consider myself technologically challenged but she made it possible. Best business experience in long time.
Kelly made my Refi. very easy. She was very helpful and always quick to answer any questions and concerns. I felt like I knew her for years. She made me very comfortable. I will highly recommend her.
Definitely would recommend Kelly and the First American Bank team! Was not easy to acquire a loan during a pandemic, but we were able to accomplish it despite all the extra requirements. They now have most of my banking business. The value is in not having to call an 800 number and getting the help that you need in a timely manner.
Kelly was great to work with and very responsive. I would recommend her and First American Bank to my friends and family.
Kelly was wonderful to work with. We got through the paperwork quickly, and she always answered my questions promptly and gave me high quality information to make the best decision. I would most certainly recommend her!

She is a great asset to First American Bank. She has always taken care of us with a friendly ease and spirit of excellence. 6 stars!
Kelly was the best!! She helped out on every aspect from beginning to end. Never would I of thought that my refi would be so easy and quick. She got me the best rate I could of hoped for. Her knowledge of the market was quite valuable of choosing when to lock in my rate. Thanks again!!! I will recommend Kelly every time.
Kelly was great to work with. She was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. Her response time was super quick and we never had to wait for an answer. I would recommend her to anyone!!
I have used Kelly for three Real Estate transactions. She has had been very prompt and professional in her follow up and work. She has anticipated my requests for information and has provided me with the material I was looking for prior to asking for it. In one case I told her of my desire to close by a certain date and she and her team made that happen. You might find some website that might get you an eighth of a point less but when you look at the process, it wasn’t worth the difference to go with an unknown.
Kelly Brizzolara was our loan officer for our new home out of state in Arizona. She was creative and very responsive to all of our needs for our two loans and our closing went smooth. She is so personable and friendly. Kelly really cares about her clients which made it only natural that a few months later after we moved out of Illinois that we contacted Kelly for a home equity line of credit to build a garage. We highly recommend Kelly! Heidi & Brett Tinder
Kelly is very knowledgeable. And also very personable. She finds the right loan, whether it is refinancing or new mortgage, or bridge loan. And she coordinates everything so it is easy. Best loan processor ever! RECOMMENDED

Kelly was absolutely fantastic to work with! She made the refinancing process smooth and simple. She answered any and every question quickly and clearly and not once did it feel like a stressful process with her guidance. Although it is a very busy time in the mortgage business right now I still feel my loan refi was handled with urgency and that Kelly and her team were never too busy to provide an update or answer a question. I would definitely recommend Kelly and would not hesitate to reach out to her again in the future!
Kelly Brizzolara has been the best loan officer I've ever dealt with, Kelly went above and beyond for us, prompt retruning of calls, helped us refinance when a better rate came up we did not know about and always helpful with any questions.
Kelly was kind professional and knowledgeable. I felt completely confident that Kelly had everything organized, and for me it was my first time so she had to walk me through the process and answered all my questions. My closing went smoothly because of Kelly. One year later when I reached out to Kelly for assistance she informed me of new interest rates and guided me through a re-finance of my mortgage. I cannot say enough good things about Kelly. Kelly makes your experience at First American Bank a genuine pleasure
Kelly was very diligent and educated me through the process of buying my first home! Throughout our home search she would proactively follow up and ask about how things are coming along. Also, she would inform us of any promotional offers that were available through First American. Overall, great service and highly recommend using Kelly!
