    About Britney

    Britney is a loan originator with a real interest in the person on the other side of the file. She came into mortgages from sales and, before that, the bridal industry — a background that sounds unrelated until you consider that both are about guiding someone calmly through one of the more stressful purchases of their life.

    She specializes in first-time buyers, investors, and loans that do not fit a standard box, and she is good at creative structure on complicated situations.

    Above all she wants to be a blessing to the people she works with, and she brings a sense of humor and a heart for service to every transaction.

    About Gwen

    Gwen has been originating since 2005. Before that she spent eighteen years with a healthcare insurance company.

    She is licensed in eleven states: Colorado, Kentucky, Ohio, North Carolina, Indiana, Florida, Tennessee, Georgia, Texas, Missouri and Michigan. She has experience across conventional, VA, FHA and home equity lines, and specializes in DSCR investment loans.

    What she enjoys most is the challenged borrower, the person who has already heard no somewhere else or believes their situation is too complicated to solve. She does not judge a file on one piece of the financial picture. She wants the whole story, what got someone where they are and what they are trying to accomplish, and then she will dig through every avenue she can find. Difficult files do not bother her, and giving up while a solution might still exist does.

    The question she hears most is what the best rate is. Her answer is that it depends on what you are trying to accomplish, because the lowest number is not always the best deal once you account for how long you intend to keep the loan and what the structure costs you overall. Once she understands the bigger picture she can lay the options side by side.

    Gwen is a native Coloradan who grew up on a ranch, which is where the appreciation for hard work and treating people right comes from. She has been married to her husband for fifty years. They have one daughter and a Corgi who keeps them entertained. They have served as 4-H leaders, and these days they spend their time with friends, bowling and playing cards.

    She wants borrowers to know she does not take anyone's business for granted. The goal is not just approval. It is earning the trust and staying alongside the client all the way to the closing table.

    About Braydin

    Braydin built his foundation at a small community bank, where lending was relationship-driven and every file had a person attached to it. He later helped scale a mortgage startup through a period of rapid growth, which taught him how complex transactions actually get managed at volume rather than in theory.

    Today he works with homeowners and real estate investors, and his focus is deal structure. The files that come to him tend to be the ones that did not fit somewhere else, and structuring those is the part of the job he enjoys most.

    He is licensed across eleven states, which is a wide footprint for one officer and reflects how much of his business travels with the client rather than the market.

    About Daniel

    Daniel wrote his first mortgage in March of 2014. He lives in Will County and serves the southwest suburbs of Chicago along with counties from south of the city to north of it.

    Conventional purchase loans are his highest volume, but a growing share of his work is non-QM for self-employed business owners and investment financing, particularly for buyers moving into short-term rentals.

    His best work is with self-employed borrowers, especially the ones who are stuck at a bank or a standard lender that cannot make the income work. He has rescued more of those files than any other kind.

    On rate, his answer is simple. He does not create the rate environment. His job is to help each client navigate the market and structure the financing around what they need. He will also, given the opening, brag about how fast the in-house team closes.

    Daniel has coached hundreds of kids in his local school district over the past several years. He is part of the Plainfield Lions and belongs to a networking group that gives back to local families and businesses.

    About Christopher

    Chris has worked in residential and commercial lending since 2009. He studied at Indiana University and then returned to Michigan to help people finance homes there.

    His focus is clear communication, on the theory that most of the stress in a mortgage comes from not knowing what is happening. He uses his experience to close on time and, where he can, ahead of what the client expected. When someone trusts him with a milestone that size, he does not treat it lightly.

    Faith, family and friends matter most to Chris. He has a daughter, Anna, and they spend their time together eating snacks and listening to music. When he has free time he is outdoors or at the beach.

    About Brian

    Brian came into mortgages in 2021 after serving as a Chicago police officer. It is a background that shows in how he works a file: methodically, and without dressing anything up.

    He works Cook and Will counties, with most of his business in Chicago, Oak Lawn and Evergreen Park. Mount Greenwood and Beverly, the 60655 zip code, is his home ground and where the bulk of his transactions have been for the past several years. He writes conventional, FHA and VA loans.

    First-time buyers are where he is most useful, largely because he will take the time to explain how the process actually works rather than assuming you already know. He has also worked with clients whose credit needed improving before they could qualify, and helped them get there.

    The question he hears most is about down payments and what assistance programs exist. He walks through the options attached to each loan type rather than giving one answer that only fits one file.

    Brian has lived in Mount Greenwood his whole life. He and his wife have five children, he helps coach their sports teams, and he is active in the neighborhood he grew up in.

    About Allison

    Allison has been originating since 2006, after a career spent entirely in banking.

    Her territory is wide and specific. LaPorte, Michigan City, Chesterton, Valparaiso, South Bend, Mishawaka, Rolling Prairie, Munster, Portage, St. John, Crown Point, New Buffalo, Long Beach, Trail Creek, Duneland Beach, Sheridan Beach, Potawatomie Park and the Harbor Country area, spanning Porter, LaPorte, Lake, Cook and Berrien counties.

    She writes conventional, FHA, VA, 203k and rehab loans. The borrowers she is unusually good for are the self-employed, people working multiple jobs, buyers with a short employment history, anyone taking on a rehab, and buyers who need down payment assistance.

    The question she hears most is how much house someone can afford and what the payment will look like. She treats that as the opening it is, a chance to walk a client through everything that goes into a payment and how approval actually works, which usually surfaces a dozen questions the buyer had not thought to ask.

    Allison holds degrees in management and liberal arts from Purdue University in West Lafayette and is heavily involved in her hometown community. Her family includes her husband Tighe, her daughter Vivian, and a miniature schnauzer named Trixie. She travels, gardens, and spends as much time outdoors as she can.
