    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 Michael

    Mike's whole approach is built on responsiveness. Whether you are buying your first home, adding to a portfolio or refinancing, his aim is to keep the process moving and keep you informed while it does.

    His view is that most bad mortgage experiences come down to one thing: poor communication. Someone stops returning calls, the borrower is left guessing, and a manageable process turns into an anxious one. He works so that does not happen on his files.

    If your last mortgage went that way, it is worth telling him at the first call. It shapes how he runs the file.

    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.

  • Megan Harrison

    About Megan

    Megan has been in finance and mortgage licensed since 2012, with multiple banking and finance roles along the way. She joined The Mortgage Exchange in 2025.

    She is licensed in Indiana and Florida, and works with clients in Carmel, Westfield, Zionsville, Fishers, Noblesville and throughout the Indianapolis metropolitan area. She specializes in conventional, FHA, VA, USDA and first-time buyer programs.

    She works well with established families looking for a forever home, first-time buyers, self-employed borrowers and real estate investors.

    What clients ask her most is what to expect. Knowing how the process actually works, and being told in advance what is coming, is what puts people at ease and makes the experience a good one, so that is where she starts.

    Megan's family lives in Westfield, Indiana, and they have been Indiana residents their entire lives. Her husband Robert is also in finance, which gives them a shared vocabulary that ends up helping her clients. Their two boys, Brooks and Wesley, keep them busy.
