Bought my first home with the help of Jason at Smart Mortgage Centers. He was able to get me a great rate and was available to answer my questions whenever I called. At first I didn't qualify for a home but never got frustrated, took the advice from Jason and 6 months later we are proud homeowners.

So we were lucky enough to have Michelle as our mortgage consultant and I'll tell you right now that we could not have been more satisfied. My wife and I are older now and really dont know anything about this stuff, so we had to take a shot and put our trust in someone. After talking to several companies I decided that Michelle sounded the most trustworthy and thank god I was right. Was something about the way she carried herself over the phone. Too keep this short. I'll say she held our hands throughout the entire process and made sure we would understand everything. She got us exactly the rate we were hoping for which saved us almost $200.00a month. On what was a $750.00 a month mortgage I'd say that's pretty amazing.

My fiance and I worked with Brian at Smart Mortgage Centers and could not have been happier with our experience. As first time homebuyers we had a lot of questions and concerns and Brian was able to help explain everything and did not mind going over options again and again. He was there for us and showed us every possible option and really worked for us to get us the best loan type and rate unlike your run of the mill bank. The team he recommended for us to work with was amazing; from our Realtor (Cheryl Bowers-who got us an excellent deal on our house and worked hard for us to find what we wanted!) to the inspector and the attorney. The experience was way better than I could have hoped! I highly recommend working with Brian at Smart Mortgage Centers!!!

My wife and I recently purchased a House and Alan and his team were fantastic. They found the loan we needed and worked with us promptly on any questions we had. I would highly recommend Alan and his team for your purchasing needs. Thank you again Alan.

Mohammed J five stars rating

Mohammed J Aurora, IL

Alan is great!!! Frankly Smart Mortgage deserves more than 5 stars. Alan was proactive, knowledgeable and asks for documents before the underwriter requests them. Every little detail was explained thoroughly from Alan, he attended the closing as well and the closing went very smoothly and fast. Alan was able to secure a mortgage for us in literally 12 days after having unpleasant experience with one of the biggest banks in the country with the same interest rate and time frame. I highly reccomend Alan and Smart Mortgage. Keep it up guys!

Dave five stars rating

Dave Aurora, Illinois

I went to Smart Mortgage Centers last year for a refinance and I have never had to really deal with this up until this point. The staff was informative and not only walked me through everything I needed to know but provided me with the best rate possible. When I had questions or there was something I was unsure about they were immediately answered. Overall it was a great experience and I have recommended a couple of my close friends.

Artie J Berwyn, IL

"I've got a guy!" I can say this for mechanics, painters, plumbers and all sorts of things. Now I can add a mortgage broker to that list! Ryan Klaic was phenomenal! Not only was he responsive, he made sure you fully understood every step of the way. He made me feel comfortable being that this was my first time refinancing. He truly works for the client and helps you through the process. He made the process stress and worry free. I highly recommend Ryan with Smart Mortgage. You will not be disappointed.

Mark Harty Chicago, IL

5 Stars all the way! This is my second time using Smart Mortgage, the first was a refinance and the most recent was to purchase a new home. I highly recommend Jamie, I can not imagine my loan process going any smoother. Jamie and his team kept me informed and ahead of the game the whole time. Later in the process, I come to find out that Jamie had some personal matters that needed his immediate attention. This was news to me, because I had no idea, he stayed professional and had everything done in a much faster time than I was anticipating. A special thanks to the Smart Mortgage team.

I went to Smart Mortgage after a horrible experience with another mortgage company that ended up losing the house and money I had already invested into the process. Elizabeth was such a joy to work with, she made everything so stress free and I closed on my home on Friday. I would definitely recommend Elizabeth and Smart Mortgage to anyone looking to buy a home.

Danielle five stars rating

Danielle Bartlett, Illinois

Smart Mortgage Centers helped us with a mortgage on a house we just closed on. Our broker Jaime was always available to answer our questions and found solutions for all potential problems without having an effect on our closing date. Jamie even came to the closing, which we heard is a rare thing. We are extremely grateful for this as there were some things during the closing that required his help, and because he was there they were resolved within minutes as opposed to hours. We are very happy with his service and would definitely use him again. Thanks for getting us into our first home Jamie (and Smart Mortgage Centers)!

Kim Schlechter five stars rating

Kim Schlechter Chicago, IL

Being first time home-buyers, we were lost. There's so much information on the web and it can be overwhelming and often contradictory. Our landlord recommended Jamie at Smart Mortgage, saying that he's the best broker he's ever worked with and he recommends him to all family and friends. Well, knowing very little about brokers, I must say that our experience was astounding. Jamie was extremely patient, answered any and all questions, and was readily available. He not only spoke to my husband and I frequently by phone, but also reaffirmed everything he said in writing via email. He found us a terrific rate and eased our anxieties in the process. He was, by far, the best part of this entire process. Second to our awesome new home, that is! :)

I would like to give my thanks to smart mortgage for giving me the chance to get in to my own home. Despite the credit challenges I had mr Ryan. He guided me through everything I needed to do. Even when I was confused with things he worked with me sometimes even at 11 o’clock at night. He is a VERY hard worker. And I appreciate everything he did for me and my children. Thank you so much for your hard work.

Ryan- you are very good at your job - that is a very uncommon thing these days. Thanks for your help. We were contacted by alot of vendors, but we chose you because of your style and your knowledge. Your approach is a very good one

Julian five stars rating

Julian Bartlett, Illinois

I must say that my refinancing experience with Smart Mortgage was more than my expectations, to tell you the truth, it was great experience. In the beginning, I had to be cautious or was little skeptical, not that Smart Mortgage was going to provide me with bad service or anything but because I knew very little about them. The Whole process was smooth and worry free. Jon was always available and was very knowledgeable. The rate was great too. I even recommended Smart Mortgage to my co-worker. I'd definitely use Smart Mortgage again to meet my refinancing needs.

Brent five stars rating

Brent Western Springs, Illinois

I received Jon Butusov's name from a friend at work. I have since refinanced our homes 3 times with him and can not say enough about him and Smart Mortgage. He was prompt and friendly and the process was very straight forward. We even closed at home each time. He called each time to make sure we were satisfied and that the closer was prompt and courteous. I can not say enough good about him and Smart Mortgage. Highly recommend. Brent

Brandon C. five stars rating

Brandon C. St. Lucie, FL

Our experience with this company was a very pleasant one. We had alot of hurdles to cross to get us a new home and our guy Tony who works for this company really helped us to buy our new home. He went above and beyond and was available even during the latest hours of the night to be able to do what was needed to ensure we qualified for our loan. If I were to recommend a mortgage broker, I'd tell them to go here in a heart beat. Without Tony and his team we would not have been able to purchase our home. Thank you Smart Mortgage Centers!

Michelle five stars rating

Michelle New Lenox, Illinois

VERY GOOD REFINANCING EXPERIENCE! We were originally going finance with our current lender due to level of comfort. After talking to our loan rep as well as the owner of Smart Mortgage Center, we felt more at ease going out of our comfort zone. In doing so, we saved thousands of dollars in total closing costs and the process was smooth and efficient. Would recommend and certainly use again if needed :)

We were getting a little worried that we might not get our forever home. This is when Brian took over and had us approved in a week. He explained things so that I could understand exactly what I needed to do. I will be recommending Brian at smart mortgage to anyone who asks.

Dave H five stars rating

Dave H Aurora, Illinois

I recently switched from my usual mortgage company to Smart Mortgage Centers based on a referral from a friend. I was beyond happy with the service I received. My refinance was dealt with in a timely manner, I was explained every detail and was encouraged to ask questions to make sure I was comfortable with the transaction. To top it off, Smart Mortgage Centers got me back more money at closing than I expected which was a treat. I highly recommend Smart Mortgage Centers to anyone looking to buy or refinance a property and will use them again in the future. Thanks guys!

Smart Mortgage Centers Inc provided the best refinancing experience I have ever encountered. Matt Pollina went that extra mile to make sure everything went smoothly and in a timely fashion. The rate was very competitive and the finance charges could not be beat by any other mortgage lender. I highly recommend Matt Pollina and Smart Mortgage Centers Inc.

Michelle Jones five stars rating

Michelle Jones Romeoville, IL

My husband and I wanted to do a refinance to lower our interest rate and get a lower monthly payment. We had been to two "big banks" and they both told us no. We had a major financial issue in the past, so no one would even talk to us. Than I came across Brian Noe's information. I sent him an email.... Best decision EVER!! He called me and we spoke about the application process and the paperwork we would need to proceed. He took all of our information and started some investigating for us. He found issues with our credit reports, problems connected to our Title, and reporting issues with our current mortgage company. Oh good grief!Brian was great. He was not judgemental of our past or the current crazy paperwork situation we were in. He helped my husband and I every step of the way. I need to tell you, this was not a three week process. It took a while for us to resolve our credit report and Title issues. However, Brian stuck with us. He was honest, answered questions for us, sent us e

THESE GUYS ARE EXCELLENT! I had the pleasure of working with Jamie for the first time a few years ago when I was trying to refinance my condo. After reaching out to several other lenders who never returned my calls after they found out I was underwater, I was lucky enough to find Jamie. Jamie was able to refinance me at a great rate! He walked me through all my options to make sure that I was able to make an informed decision that would work best for me. He promptly answered all my questions and made the process go so smoothly. I've recommended him to my friends and just used his help again when purchasing a home. I cannot say enough great things about Jamie and Smart Mortgage Centers. These guys are the real deal...great service and great people.

Chris N five stars rating

Chris N Naperville, IL

Brian is fantastic, he is very knowledgeable and has the resources to find the loan that best fits your needs and explains everything in detail with terms you can understand. Questions were answered immediately with the information I needed, no matter how minor the request or inquiry may have been. Not one time did he tell me anything that was not true or make me second-guess that he was not genuine in his actions to assist us in getting the best loan possible. He is extremely professional and patient and makes himself available to you at all times. He made the very stressful and confusing process of a home loan painless. I cannot stress enough that if you are in the market for a home loan or refi to give Brian a call and you will not be disappointed. He has a customer for life and I will refer anyone who is in the market to him without hesitation. He is a master of his craft and I promise that you will be in great hands.

Francine Fields five stars rating

Francine Fields Naperville, IL

Words cannot express the gratitude I feel to Matt and Smart Mortgage Centers. I really appreciate the outcome of my loan. Matt kept me updated on the progress and let me know what to expect. He was very accessible and prompt in returning every phone call. Initially, when I started my loan process with Smart Mortgage Centers, I was lured away with a promise of a better loan with CF Funding. After 42 days, CF Funding left me a voice-mail message to say they would not be able to get the loan they had promised, nor could they get any loan for me. I recontacted Matt at Smart Mortgage Centers and got a better loan than we had discussed or I ever anticipated. The Closing was completed with no problems. Again, I thank you for assisting me with this process and I have and will continue to make referrals to Smart Mortgage Centers.
