Easy and helpful experience, Thanks Stacy!
I reached out to my good friend, Vern Kertis, from the Hoffman Estates branch requesting information about different types of loans the bank offers. After going through all the options, we decided a Home Equity Line of Credit would be suited for my needs. He introduced me to Stacy and she took over the loan process. Working with Stacy was great. She is very knowledgeable, quick to respond to emails and very easy to talk to. She answered all of my questions and made sure the process moved along swiftly. I was able to close in 15 days. Highly recommend working with Stacy.
Omg!!!! Love Sacy! She was such a big help with my mortgage questions. I’m definitely going to use her in the future.
I worked with Stacy on my most recent home mortgage (30 days offer to closing). She was very helpful and insightful. I was always able to get in touch when I needed her. I was able to get good clarifications on all of my loan related questions. Thank you Stacy, keep up the good work :)
Stacy did a great fob handling my financing project. She was very responsive to all of my questions and was able to lead the process to completion quickly.
Stacy was amazing to work with. I have never had a better experience dealing with a bank before. She was on top of everything and always answered my emails/phone calls so quickly. I am definitely going to recommend her to my friends and family.
