Hi and thank you for stopping by.  My name is Chris Richter and I've been a mortgage lender since 2001. 

A lot has changed through the years.  One thing has not:  The choice of the proper mortgage product will ultimately influence you and your family's financial position for years to come. 

In order to do this, we take the extra few moments to align your financial situation in the context of long- and short-term goals.  In this way, I can suggest a financing option that will be the best fit to meet today and tomorrow's financial objectives.  

My company, Wintrust Mortgage, is one of the largest and most respected mortgage bankers in the Chicago area.  Very simply, I am here because Wintrust can provide better financial options for my clients than any other firm in today's climate.  We have the full array of lenders so that we can get the best rates, but we also process, underwrite, and fund the loans ourselves.  Our fees are low, our interest rates beat the competition, and our service team is exceptional.

We are licensed in 50 states, but I do most of my work right here in Chicago.  If I'm not around when you call, you might catch me over at a soccer field near you where I've been coaching for Fenwick High School for 8 years.
