We cannot recommend Larry highly enough. From the very beginning, he exceeded every expectation we had for a mortgage lender. He made an incredibly important and often stressful process feel seamless, efficient, and completely under control. What truly sets Larry apart is his responsiveness, expertise, and genuine dedication to his clients. He moved our loan through remarkably fast, communicated clearly every step of the way, and always made himself available whenever we had questions. We always felt informed, supported, and confident that we were in the best possible hands.

I first heard about Larry from my buyers, whose friends had a great experience working with him — and now I understand why. Larry is truly excellent at what he does. From preparing the buyers, walking them through the pre-approval process, following up throughout the transaction, and keeping everyone informed, he consistently looked out for the buyers’ best interests. He was there from start to finish and even showed up at closing to make sure everything went smoothly and the buyers were happy. A true professional and a great partner in the transaction.

We had to buy a house for my elderly father. My father did not have the funds to purchase on his own. So, we turned to Larry who turned us onto a program so that we can get a lower interest rate on the property. Larry made things easier and made the deal happen. We did not have any problems. Unlike other horror stories Larry ALWAYS called back and he showed up at the closing to make sure everything matched as promised. Kudos to Larry!

He was always quick to respond, even to the most ridiculous questions that I had. Besides helping me get everything ready , Larry made sure I got the best deal for the mortgage rate, and incredibly smooth closing. I know I will be working with him throughout my home ownership process , and I am happy to have such an experienced person in my corner! No need to look for comparison rates, just come to FAB. They are as good as their commercial says. Trust me on this, wasted so much time comparing just to confirm my first choice is the best!

We had a few obstacles that made our jobs difficult but Larry always kept everyone in touch and let us know not only what the issues were, but how he was going to solve them and it made a world of difference for me and my client.

Larry is honest, direct, and does exactly what he says he will do. I have and will continue to recommend him to anyone who needs a professional. I can honestly say we consider him a friend. Thank you Larry.
Michael Chart
Larry was outstanding. What a pleasure working with him. His experience and guidance made acquiring my mortgage hassle free. Very organized and knew exactly from the beginning what was needed.

Nicholas DelRossi
Mr. Minutillo is professional, supportive, efficient, and personable He’s very knowledgeable and friendly. From our introduction to the closing, he was attentive and extremely efficient in communicating and making sure I received the best rate possible! The process was smooth and respectful. If you are looking to secure a mortgage, I would highly recommend working with Lawrence and First American Bank. It was definitely a blessing to have met and worked with Lawrence.
Renita C
In the beginning of 2025, I began looking for a loan, and after dealing with SEVERAL banks, and yes, Rocket Mortgage, I was disappointed and had almost gave up. On a summer day, as I was walking around on my lunch hour, I walked into First American Bank and everything changed. The process and the closing was professional and the staff was friendly. First American Bank is still “Family” owned and operated and I believe that is the secret to their success. Get your next loan from them and you will NOT be disappointed.
Jesse Lpz
Great experience with this lender! They were very diligent and took the time they needed with their client. I represented the buyer as their real estate agent. No hang ups at all! I would refer to this lender again and I am looking forward to more transactions with him!
Cathy Means
Larry is not only highly knowledgeable but also provides genuine guidance for first-time home buyers! He helped simplify what can be a complex process.

Sincere thanks for making this a smoother process.

Tyler Estes
I can’t speak highly enough about how easy Larry and First Am were to deal with. I completed a HELOC in just under a couple of weeks and he was there every step of the way no matter the time. The commercials on the radio about how there is always a human at the other end ready to help couldn’t be more true. What a great guy to work with and I would absolutely recommend him for any of your financing needs.

Larry is great! Keeps in communication. Answers all questions. I have done 2 deals with him now and for both he made me feel very comfortable and confident that I was making a good choice. I like to run scenarios to ensure that the financial choice is solid and provides flexibility. And Larry was always very positive and willing to provide any info needed. I have referred him to several friends and wont do that unless I am confident in the individual.
Susie Kinsman
I was referred to Larry by my financial advisor, and I can see why! I live out of state and Larry made the process of securing my home equity line of credit very simple, including making arrangements to close remotely from my kitchen table. It could not have gone better.
Jack Ginther
Larry is the absolute BEST to work with!!! My sister and I wanted to purchase our first townhouse together and we were worried that it was going to be a grueling process but we were blessed to work with Larry. He helped us every step of the way -- thoroughly explaining the process, walking through all documents with us, and explaining the pros/cons of certain situations to aid our decision making. Today, I'm proud to say that my sister & I are officially new homeowners and that's all thanks to Larry's help. I HIGHLY recommend working with him if you're looking to purchase property. Trust me, save yourself the headache and give him a call.
Fareezeh Zubair
I can't recommend Larry enough! He recently helped me and my wife with our refinance, and the entire experience was outstanding. From the very beginning, Larry was incredibly patient and thorough, taking the time to explain every step of the process in detail. He answered all our questions (and we had many!) with clarity and made sure we felt comfortable and informed before moving forward. What truly impressed us was how quick Larry was with processing everything. He kept the refinance moving smoothly and efficiently, which significantly reduced our stress levels. We were amazed at how quickly he responded to our emails and calls – he was always very responsive and made us feel like a priority. Beyond his professionalism, Larry is genuinely kind and a pleasure to work with. If you're looking for a loan officer who is knowledgeable, efficient, and genuinely cares about their clients, look no further than Larry! He made our refinance experience a positive one, and we are incredibly grateful for his help. Thank you, Larry!

Larry is the man, you are in good hands. He helped answer basically every question I had which was A LOT I think. He was pretty much available at all times for a call, text, or email. I switched up what I wanted to do multiple timses. He was very flexible knowing you have a work schedule and things to do also. Larry genuinely seemed like a good guy from the short time I got to know and work with him. He even drove down over an hour to be there for the closing because he wanted to be there. I definitely plan on working with Larry for all future purchases and will refer him to friends. That is, if he gives me a discount on points next time 😉

If you're first home-buyer or having foreign status, Larry is definitely a person to reach out to!
Van Tran
Larry was fantastic to work with on the purchase of our new home. I worked with Larry to set up a new mortgage loan through First American and couldn’t be happier with his service and First American Bank.

He tells you everything that you will need to make the closing to go through in a timely manner and will stay in touch to answer questions even in the evening & on Saturdays.

Larry continues to amaze us with the speed, accuracy and quality of the mortgage process. This is the third loan Larry has handled for us. You are dealing with a pro whose mission is to serve your best interests in a timely manner. First American has designed and built a mortgage loan application processing system that works for you. We uploaded pdf of all the necessary documents. The system allows you to pick up where you left off. No need to do it all at one time. Turnaround time on the application to appraisal was a couple of days. Application to commitment was about two weeks.
Peter Desmond

Geoff Zoeller
We had the absolute BEST experience working with Larry Minutillo at First American Bank! From start to finish he explained everything and was more than happy to answer any questions. He made the whole process so quick and simple! It was such a major difference from the first company, Rocket Mortgage, that we had originally contacted. We had such a negative experience with Rocket that we were nervous to work with another lender. Larry put those nerves to rest after the first phone call. He always thoroughly explained everything and checked in with us multiple times along the way to make sure everything was proceeding smoothly. Larry is honest and upfront. If we needed to get in touch with him, it was as easy as dialing his number or sending an email. He always answered, no run around. We’re so thankful Larry was recommended to us. He not only got us the loan amount we were looking for but he got us a lower rate, affordable monthly payments and no closing costs. It was a night and day experience from the previous lender. It was so refreshing to work with someone so genuinely nice and eager to help. Someone you can trust, that has honest work ethic and integrity. We are so grateful for Larry’s guidance, professionalism and expertise. There would be no hesitation to work with him again or recommend him to anyone. Larry you rock! Much thanks!
Katie Mondello
Very great experience. Great communication, amazing follow ups and always there to answer all our questions.

CoachJennMyzia
Throughout the decades of owning my home, I sought the convenience of equity loans for remodeling projects and for big ticket purchases. Recently, I advised my daughter to get an equity loan to remodel the kitchen and baths in her home only to find that the big banks no longer offer them. In our search, we were connected with Larry Minutillo from First American bank who quickly understood my daughter’s financial needs and offered a great deal on a zero-fee home equity loan. Larry made the process effortless and kept in contact with us every step of the way. With my years of experience, it was obvious that we were dealing with a seasoned loan professional who knew the answers to our questions and didn’t have to say let me find out and I’ll call you back. At one point, I was talking to Larry on speaker phone and my brother overheard the conversation and said, “He sounds like a really nice guy” and I responded, “He sure is.” Thanks to Larry’s expertise and warm friendly personality the loan closed last week, and we are thrilled.

Romario Mendoza
It was great having Larry on my team during my condo purchase. He provided great knowledge and expertise throughout the process. I am grateful for his assistance and would definitely recommend.
Gustavo Chaves
Larry Minutillo shepherded me through the whole process of refinancing my mortgage. I was very nervous about doing this without some help and he worked very hard to get my monthly payments to where I was comfortable with them and keep the interest rate as low as was possible at the time. He even made it a point to come to the closing so we could meet in person. I highly recommend contacting him if you are in the market for a mortgage. You won't be disappointed. In addition to doing his job most efficiently, he's a very nice guy!
Roberta Heiman
Great guy who helped us with our mortgage refinance and home equity line. A patient man who walked us through all the steps, sometimes more than once. Made our first time mortgage experience a lot less scary than we thought it would be. Highly recommend.
Edward Scribner
I highly recommended Larry for mortgage loans. He is super dedicated, experienced, and patient. My mortgage process went smoothly thanks to his timely responses and helpful reminders. He also explained everything clearly and patiently.
Thao Cao
Larry is great - communicative, diligent, and timely with all loan related needs. I am glad we found him and would recommend him to any friends or family!
Ryan Moline
As a first time home buyer, we had a lot of questions and Larry helped us through the mortgage process and felt like we got a great deal! We truly had a great experience with Larry & his team. What I appreciated the most was their expertise, attention to detail, fast response and professional customer service has made them the best lender to work with. They kept us up to date with updates and any new change to the process of our loan, and even worked on our loan during the weekends. To top off our experience, upon closing on our home, Larry surprised us with a special bottle of wine from Napa Valley. Thanks again for everything Larry, we will be certain to tell all of our friends and family members about you!
Anais Avitia
Just closed on vacation property. Larry & 1st American Team were top notch - very knowledgeable and ultra-responsive. Highly recommend!
Ray Ellingsen
Larry is professional, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable -- highly recommended.
Charles Roichek
We had a great experience with Larry on our home equity loan. No pressure, timely communication, and very respectful. We will be doing business with First American and Larry again.
Mike Siegel
Larry was excellent to work with, we were anxious as this was an out-of-town loan, but he made the process so seamless. Excellent job and was very informative throughout the whole process.
Valerie Buss
Larry was so helpful with our home equity loan! He was really patient with us too, we had multiple salary changes and job changes that required him to keep re-submitting our paperwork. He helped the process go smoothly and is so friendly. Everyone at the St.Charles branch has been great as well. Daphne helped us at our closing and I really couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you!!!!
Elizabeth Schwebemeyer
Larry was the perfect loan officer for my clients. Throughout the process he was transparent with important information, diligent in finding creative solutions to any issue that arose, and highly communicative with all parties. He made the loan side extremely easy!
Amanda Stolee
Great service and communication! I had a situation in which I needed to close quickly over the holidays and Larry facilitated a really smooth transaction.
Michael Kupkowski
We needed a loan for a 2nd home in Florida. The process was more complicated than the usual local loan, but Larry was great in explaining our options and finding the best available rate. It was much better than the first option offered by a Florida broker I dealt with for the construction loan. Larry and Patricia stayed on top of each step we needed to complete so that all of the documentation was completed on time. We would definitely recommend Larry and the support staff.
Bill Friis
Working with Larry made everything run smoothly. He explained the process step by step and always followed up on document signing and deadlines for signatures. We were on a tight schedule regarding timing of a construction loan and transfer to a regular mortgage and Larry made sure all the paperwork was done on time so we did not incur extra charges on the construction. A true professional I would not hesitate to use in the future.
Carol Friis
Larry is absolutely fantastic! He was recommended by my realtor and I spoke to him just to get a second opinion on my potential mortgage. I was planning to go with Rocket, as I did for my first house, but Larry's service was unmatched, AND he was able to get me a great rate and a lower amount of money down at closing! What really makes Larry stand out is his availability - you can email or call whenever and you know you will get a reply very quickly. Having a local mortgage loan officer makes the process so much easier, since you are dealing with just one person the whole time (rather than getting passed around) and he knows all the quirky Illinois rules.
Lita Sacks
We closed on our mortgage with a smile on our face. The entire process was flawless, and we were kept in the loop throughout the entire process. Larry was outstanding, and has the type of work ethic that makes him an terrific representative of his bank.. Thank you Larry for caring, and treating us with respect.
Franci Galinsky
I worked with Larry over the past two years on a refinance and home equity. Larry is a true professional, always responds quickly, knows his business solid and offers great advice and suggestions. He is very pleasant to work with and I’m glad I worked with him as he did everything quickly and efficiently! I’d recommended Larry.
Juan Cortez
Having grown up in Chicago (but living in Las Vegas for 18 years before moving back in 2021), I’ve always enjoyed the funny tongue-in-cheek commercials First American Bank had been running on the radio for decades. When I decided to seek a HELOC for the home we bought with cash, so that we could make improvements to the home without digging into our retirement savings, First American Bank came to my mind immediately. Larry Minutillo was quite prompt in responding to my inquiry on-line on a Sunday afternoon. He emailed me immediately and said he would call within two hours. Indeed he did and he made the entire process smooth and simple. Make First American Bank your “go to” for your banking needs with total confidence.
Jean Borre
Larry was professional but still personally involved from the start of what can be a very daunting procedure. Thank you so much Larry. Kathy
Kathy McGuinn
Just bought my 1st home using Lawrence J. Minutillo, III at First American Bank, he was more then helpful and always available to answer my many many questions day/night weekday_weekends it didn't matter when I reached out. I'm very thankful!
Lisa P
Great lender! Assisted in a client's first-time home purchase and offered many great loan packages. If shopping for a home, give Larry a call!
Amanda Surber
Larry Minutillo did an excellent job for clients of mine. He truly helped them win a multiple offer. I highly recommend him.
Debbie Croft

Alfred Clark
Larry helped us on every step. He made the process quick and simple. I would recommend him first to my friends and family!
Dana Holland
Larry made the whole loan process smooth as silk. He exhibited patience while my wife and I found our vacation home. He kept us informed of the next steps in the process and the technology to upload, review, sign, and approve documents was convenient. It blew me away that Larry attended our closing 2 hours from his home. An awesome experience! This is my 3rd loan with First American, the previous 2 being home equity loans. Thank you Larry!
Mike Cavanaugh
Larry was a dream to work with. He was so diligent in making sure we closed on time and made sure we got all our questions answered in a timely manner. He took the time to explain the process to us in a clear and concise way. Home buying is stressful and scary. Larry made the process easy and exciting.
Kelly Burnett
I applied for a HELOC with First American Bank on November 1, 2022; after having a terrible experience with Fifth Third Bank. I closed on my HELOC with First American Bank on November 25, 2022. The whole process from A to Z was easy as it could be, and I closed in less than 30 days. Larry Minutillo, my Loan Officer with First American Bank, is as professional as they come; very knowledgeable in Mortgage Banking procedures and a very personable gentleman. Because of this excellent experience with Larry and First American Bank, I will probably be closing all of my banking accounts currently with Chase Bank. J. David Stokes
J. David Stokes
I was introduced to Larry through my buyer/client. Larry was awesome to work with! He was always available and made the closing process simple and easy for the buyer and he kept me informed the entire time. Kudos to a great job, customer service and professionalism.
Alex Tzallas
Larry was the absolute best!! He really took his time to help me take my first step into my first home. It took a pretty long time to buy my home, but Larry was with me every step of the way, so helpful, patient, and always checking in to make sure everything was going smoothly. I know he made sure I got the best possible outcome and I'm truly grateful for how well he worked with my realtor and I. As my friends and family say, he's invited to the cook out! :)

Carol Skordalos
Lawrence is very responsive to calls and emails and was able to get the loan closed on time!
Marc Gugliuzza
Larry was great! Answered all my questions and concerns when setting up my HELOC. The paperwork was easy to sign and the portal easy to access. Larry was very accessible and kept me in the loop throughout the whole process. He was able to find me a local branch to execute the Closing paperwork & they were great too (Kyle LeGrone 33 S Wacker Chicago) Such a pleasure to work with Larry, I highly recommend First American Bank BECAUSE of Larry Minutillo. Thanks Larry! Tammy Mauriello
Tammy Bichon Mom

Larry was great from beginning of process to the end. Not having moved in many years the process was very different. He informed me of everything needed and where along in the loan we were. He was always very friendly and put me at ease when I felt stressed. I would highly recommend him as a loan officer.
Barbara Wielosinski
Larry is exactly what you want your mortgage loan officer to be- available and responsive. He is proactive in identifying new opportunities. Larry will walk you through all the details, if necessary. Besides being extremely good at his job, he is also a nice and friendly guy.
Account
Larry Minutillo puts 100% of his effort into servicing the loan. He never stops looking for the best options for his clients and his level of service is phenomenal. Not only has he helped me personally refinance, but as a Realtor, I have referred him to my clients with rave reviews about his level of service and competitive loan options. It's nice to feel like someone is in your corner guarding one of your most lucrative assets.
Rada Duvall
We had excellent experience with Larry Minutillo. Not only was he very knowledgeable but he was also so friendly and approachable. No question was too small or silly. Excellent communicator and constantly updated us throughout the process. I would definitely recommend him to others whether its their first time or more experienced borrowers.
Rosa Ramirez Richter
Larry is the best! He was with me every step of the way, guiding me through the process as a first time home buyer.

Larry is the best Mortgage Loan Officer I have ever dealt with. Of the many properties my wife and I have purchased, over 50 years of marriage, Larry made this last property purchase the best. He is hard working, fair, thorough, reaching in depth to make sure your needs are satisfied. I just wish there were more stars we could give him! Deborah and George Woods, MD
George Woods
Larry is the BEST Loan Officer EVER! My husband and I needed to open a HELOC and Larry helped guide us through the entire process. His knowledge, professionalism, and most importantly trustworthiness is top-notch. When we had questions, he called back promptly even past office hours. To top it off, we were most impressed with the timeline from application to funding of less than one month. That indeed is GREAT customer service. I can’t say it enough you’re the BEST…thank you for everything.
Sandra Macaraeg
Larry was awesome from beginning to the end of the process. I would definitely recommend him.

Becky Gerig REMAX CHOICE
Larry was absolutely great at answering all of our questions, helped us throughout the entire process and was there at the ready whenever we needed any confirmation or explanation, often well beyond traditional business hours and always with exactly the demeanor you would hope for when you’re going through a loan process. We could not recommend him more highly!
William Roberts
Larry was really great to work with on our refi. He is knowledgeable and proactive without being too pushy. I also find that he translates "mortgage speak" rather well so that you understand the nuances a bit better. Also, we hit a snag with some missing paperwork from a past refi, and Larry went above and beyond to resolve.
Laura Goeglein
Larry worked very very hard to make our refinance easy and stress free. I will like to work with Larry again if need be and also recomend him to people I know

Eric Frank
I appreciate working with Larry Minutillo at First American Bank - he helped me with a condo refinance as well as a home equity line of credit. He's responsive, proactive. He researched what docs were needed and then communicated that clearly. When there was an issue, he was proactive in addressing it (before I even noticed) and took care of it. The rates were also very competitive and clear.
Carrie J
Larry was great to work with. .He made sure I understood the process throughout and helped whenever he could.
Eric Annafi
Larry Minutillo is great at what he does whether it’s your first mortgage or refinancing. We just refinanced and he made it so easy for us to get through the process. In the end he is saving us money and that’s the most important thing for me.
Ketan Mirani
Larry Minutillo is excellent to work with. Works very hard and is a rare 24/7 communication type guy - which I appreciated in keeping my mortgage moving through the process. Very knowledgeable as well as professional and got me the best terms of any bank on my second home refi. I highly recommend Larry and First American Bank for the best possible bank mortgage service!!!!

From start to finish Larry went the extra mile to make my refinance a reality. Larry is kind, dedicated, a great proactive communicator, and as approachable yet professional as they come. I highly recommend Larry for all your lending needs!
James Caruso
I'm telling you -- Larry (Lawrence) Minutillo is exactly what you've been looking for! We tried working with two, maybe three other lenders before finding Larry and right off the bat, we knew we had FINALLY found the guy for the job. He was friendly, understanding, and confident. We had a difficult lending situation with my unique job and paychecks and my fiancé's complicated half contract/half salaried job. Larry didn't even blink at the challenge and never gave up on us. He helped us secure the home of our dreams! I rave about him and my experience with him and First American Bank to all my friends and family. Consider yourself lucky to get a lender who cares as much as he does. Thank you so much, Larry!
Kristen Beck
Larry has made our refinance process one of the best we have ever had. He was consistent with communication, told us what to expect and helped us successfully complete the refi process when other mortgage companies couldn’t. I highly recommend him!
Susan M Barber
I was very apprehensive about the process of refinancing. This was the easiest experience I could have imagined. His outside of “9-5” availability ensured I didn’t have to take time away from work. Larry and his team took all my stress and worry away with the seamless system they have set up. I will recommend his service to everyone I know who may be in the process of refinancing their home.
Casey Burns-Thompson
Larry helped us refinance our home to take advantage of great interest rates. A year later, he contacted us to let us of know of a great promotion we were eligible for. We ended up taking advantage of this to do some home upgrades, and Larry went the extra mile to ensure we got the best possible rate on our loan. He has gone above and beyond every time and is great to work with. I would definitely recommend him as a loan officer and First American Bank as a lender for any of your financial needs!
Luke Palumbo
Larry was fantastic. I had some issues pulling all my paperwork together, and he really helped me a lot. Also, I really felt like he was interested in making sure that I got the mortgage that was right for me. Other banks that I tried to work with were far less helpful, and treated me like I was just another file. Couldn’t recommend Larry highly enough.
Shawn Murphy
We worked with Larry recently on a home purchase. Originally we were going to refinance and then decided to sell and buy something else instead. Larry did not skip a beat in our decision changes. He was responsive and informative. Any questions we had, he had the answers or found the answers quickly. I would definitely recommend Larry to anyone for their mortgage needs.
Tina D
We tried a fairly complicated refinance with other banks with much frustration and no success. Then we tried with Lawrence and were given Amazing attention, or requests for information we’re answered quickly and completely. And the variety of items wet needed to supply were clearly laid out. I’d recommend him highly and would use him again.
Cinnamon Cooper (cinnachick)
Lawrence Minutillo helped me refinance my house. He is very professional and helped streamline the process to make sure everything closed efficiently and in a timely manner. His passion helped me always feel that he was on my side and he pushed for the best rates.

Nehat Baca
There’s no one else you need but Larry, absolutely no one! He took on my 3 month long dilemma from my previous loan officer who was so unprofessional and wouldn’t communicate at all and Larry found the perfect loan with an amazing interest rate, worked his magic and closed my condo fast and efficiently. Now I have my new home just in time for my newborn baby. Honestly he’s the best loan officer you’ll ever have so don’t shop around just call him up today and know you’re in the BEST hands! I can’t thank you enough Larry, you’re the best! He’s the best!
Lorna Ilene
Larry was a joy to work with. He went above and beyond, was incredibly patient with me throughout the entire process, was insanely helpful when we had a personal emergency and helped my husband and I navigate through that process ensuring there was no risk to the timeline of our rate lock-in, and he did all of this while navigating through the year we know as 2020. In addition to everything, Larry helped us organize a refinance that included an out-of-state signing, and we were able to complete our end from the comfort and safety of our own home - something very important to my husband and I during Covid times. And did I mention his amazing personality? We shared a few laughs along the way. Thank you for all of your help, guidance and support! Dare I say, I'm a little (just a little) sad it's over - and who would have thought ANYONE would say that about a refinance.
Michelle
I cannot say enough about Larry. He was on the ball at all hours of the day and night to assist me in getting this fantastic mortgage rate. He is smart, efficient, courteous, knowledgeable, He is one of the few professionals I would recommend to everyone. If you need a new mortgage go to Larry Minutillo at First American Bank!

Tom Adams
Larry was very helpful during the process of our refinance. Will definitely recommend his services in the future.
Laura Hellmer
I don't think many people out there have the experience where they can say it was fun working with their loan officer but working with Larry is fun! He felt like he was on my team helping me in a very competitive housing market - he made changes quickly, was very responsive, and ensured a smooth process. My agent, attorney, and title company all commented on how easy it was to work with Larry. He delivers a high level of customer service at all aspects of your loan processing. 10/10!
Kelly O'Shea
The experience working with Larry was a pleasure. He was on top of the process the entire way making the refinancing very simple. Highly recommended!
John S
Larry was easy to work with despite the fact that my wife and I are both self-employed, which makes home loan paperwork more complicated. We are very grateful for his help and the help of FirstAm in getting our refi done at a much lower rate with much lower closing costs than a number of other competitors.
Rick Wemple
Larry was far the best contact I had for First American, every question I had, he answered, it did not matter what time or what day it was, he will answer. I loved the fact that when i will send an email to Larry he will respond within 2 hours max. I wish more people could be like him. to be honest he is the reason why I went through with the loan. every explanation was clear enough that i understood instantly. Thank you Larry for all the help. I will definitely recommend you to my friends and family.
Ernesto D
Larry Minutillo refinanced my condo in Lincoln Park, All I can say is Larry is the consummate professional. On time, detail oriented, and very organized Mortgage broker.

Larry was super helpful through the whole process. Super detailed oriented. He was really easy to talk to. I never felt like he was pushy. He was very direct and honest with all of his reponses to my many questions. This can be a very confusing complicated process and Larry made it easier. I highly recommend him!

For our home refi, Larry was the utmost professional from beginning to end. He made the process easy and pain-free, and answered all our questions with detailed explanation and clarity. Many thanks to Larry and everyone at First American Bank for their excellent customer service.

Larry is the best-he takes care of everything from start to finish and super easy to communicate with through the loan process. We refinanced our home during the pandemic and Larry went above and beyond-to ensure that we could do a wire transfer instead of securing a cashier's check and making sure we could complete most of the refi virtually. He emailed us at 10 at night to make sure everything was ok. Thank you, Larry!
