The Renno Team – Wintrust Mortgage

Earlier this year we started to look into buying a house and met our realtor, Dan Regan. We told him about our unique financial situation (1, new United States Resident with ‘young’ credit history and 2, a foreclosure several years ago) and we thought that he was going to laugh at us and tell us to come back in a few years. Instead, he told us to meet with The Renno Team, which he referred to as a member of his real estate family.
Keith Renno contacted us and told us that our situation was not a dead-​end road and that there were definitely options available to us. We were intrigued and met with Keith who guided us through the process of getting pre-​approved for a home loan. He was able to gather enough information within a few days to tell us that everything checked out and that we qualified for a home loan. Besides locking in a fantastic interest rate for us, Keith took the time to explain all the different options and ran several scenarios that helped us to establish how much we were able to comfortably afford to pay towards a mortgage each month considering all the factors from taxes to insurance and HOA’s. This gave us a great idea of what our ‘price range’ was.
After we found our house and our offer was accepted, The Renno Team truly shined in getting all the documents drawn up for the home loan application. Jessica Taylor was our Loan Coordinator and guided us through the whole process. With the patience of a saint, Jessica was always there to answer all of our questions; and there were loads of them! Honestly, I don’t think there is a way that this process could have been made more efficient. Jessica is a rock star. I anticipated hours of meetings and signing of documents, but she provided all documents to us in a digital format with the ability to sign everything electronically. She gave us very clear guidelines and set clear expectations and milestones during the escrow process. Escrow was closed and the loan was funded ahead of time. Wow!
It is clear that The Renno Team are experts in their field. Extremely knowledgeable and personable and with the backup of Wintrust Mortgage, they have a great product that I can truly recommend. Together with Dan Regan, they made our dream of becoming homeowners a reality and we will forever be grateful for their wonderful service.

This was our first time purchasing a home, and The Renno Team went above and beyond in making it a great experience! They responded to any & all questions in a timely matter, even when those questions were asked late in the evening. They also, due to our purchase being a short sale, had to operate in an unreasonable amount of time, and yet they were able to finish everything with no problem! Cant recommend them highly enough! We will be referring all our friends and families to them in the future, and would use them again in a heartbeat!

I’ve worked with this team for over 2 years and they’ve been there for me every step of the way. When i need pre-​approval letters or have any questions about the process they take the time to walk me through it at my speed. I thoroughly recommend them.
