I got the lowest rate, lowest closing costs, and expended the least effort of any other experience. I was very impressed with how close the APR was to the quoted rate. Most companies pull you in with a low rate but then the APR is at least a 1/4 percent higher. The whole process was pretty painless with only the minimum amount of documentation required which I was easily able to either scan or download to my computer and then upload on their website. Again, my closing costs were super low compared to other mortgages I have had. I will definitely seek them out the next time I move.

I have been a homeowner since 1984. This is by far the worst experience I have ever had with a…read morelender. Unresponsive, failed to give me all my options, took about 110 days form application to closing. I must have called 15 times to find out my status but rarely got an answer. One of the staff I dealt with sounded totally inexperienced and confused. She then stopped returning my calls. Their online system sent me no less than 10 emails indicating I needed to login to the portal and complete tasks which I knew were already done. In each case, I would log in and the system said there was nothing they needed from me. When I finally went to closing over three months after my initial contact, the documents were wrong TWICE. The notary had to return to my home with corrected docs. I received an email asking for a rating, which I gave as ZERO. Their customer service department emailed me saying they were sorry I was dissatisfied and offering to send me a $25 gift card. I wrote back and asked if they wanted to hear about my experience. I also called twice. After almost a month, no one has contacted me. I guess they just don't care!

I worked with Brett for our mortgage. When he first told me what rate he could get for me, I was…read moreskeptical and even apprehensive because it was so much better than everything else I was being offered by other lenders. I did a refi about three years ago with Guaranteed Rate and when I told them the rate I was able to get through Molitor they basically said, that's impossible nobody is getting that rate right now. Well I'm glad I didn't listen to them. Brett delivered the rate he promised, no fine print, the process was simple and Molitor was there to answer any question I had. If you work with Brett and his rate seems too good to be true, it isn't and he'll deliver. Would recommend to any friend or family member.

I can't say enough great things about Aimee - she is professional, knowledgeable, honest and personable. Her support staff is also extremely helpful and accessible. The only thing that would've been better is if I could've cloned her as my real estate agent as well! Aimee and Midwest Lending are truly deserving of a 5 star rating!

This being our first purchase we had no idea what to expect, having met with Mike before we even made an offer we were educated as to what to expect in the process and what Mike and his team offered us. We felt far more confident from that initial meeting and knew we had the right team behind us. Throughout the process Mike kept us up to date regarding interest rate movements and helped us secure a very good rate. He answered our very specific questions, was incredibly timely in his responses back to us, and calmed any nerves we may have had. I highly recommend working with Mike, if you are looking to learn about the mortgage process give Mike a call, you will not be disappointed.

All around we have had a great experience working with Michael's team from the start through close. Thank you!

Let me start off with saying that I have dealt with PCF in the pass for refinancing(2006). I had a…read morepleasant experience and was the reason I went back last year(2012), but the person who I dealt with in 2006 left the business. So Mr. Robert Raveles attended to my needs, he calculated some numbers for me with the current interest rates at the time (4%-4.5%). So I signed some papers for the credit checks and gave a $500 check for the appraisel of my property. Then waited for some bank offers and waited. I haven't hear from Mr. Raveles for two week I texted him what the progress was and he assured me that he was still working on it. Another week goes by nothing I dropped by the office it was closed during the day in the middle of the week! Bad sign. So I went with someone else and Mr. Raveles refuses to refund my $500. I went to file papers to sue the Deadbeat but the business is in bad standing with the city. He offered half of it back out of his own pocket(what a nice guy) but to give him till the end of the month. Do you think I hear from him? I still have all the texted messages from this ordeal. So I would love to have a reply to this review. He's also the President and Secretary of PCF.

My brother banks at one of their branches in the South Suburbs. My brother's bank account was hacked over the summer. It was being resolved and credited back to his account. A few weeks later, I got mail from the main headquarters in Rosemont---to my address. His name, but my address. My brother lives 50 miles away. He has never lived with me. The letter was in regards to the matter of the hacking. He called the bank, they were puzzled---said my address was not attached to his bank account. About 10 days later, I got a second letter. He called his bank again, but they were clueless, said they would look into it. When I received a 3rd letter, I called because I was annoyed for my brother. While there are no account numbers on these letters, this letter has information about this incident---and the dates keep changing. How do we know his information is actually safe with this bank if they do not know why his mail is even being sent to me?? Their first line resolution was they could add my address to their "do not mail" list. I said, "How does that help my brother? The problem is his mail is being sent somewhere else, not to him!! And btw, thank goodness his mail is coming to a relative!!" They could only help me with so much, got my brother to connect with them---and they said they figured it out. Oddly, they did not tell him what the problem was. Guess what?? Today, I got another letter from Wintrust Bank HQ in Rosemont. This is a security and privacy issue. Your information is not safe. I told my brother to change banks.
