Kurt delivered on all his promises
“I had a wonderful experience with Kurt.  I have recommended him to my family.  Actually, my brother-in-law just bought a house from Kurt.  I was very skeptical at first, but he was wonderful!  He delivered on everything he was going to do.  He was always letting us know what was going on from week to week, down to the last detail of what was going on with the house and everything!  Sure, I would recommend him to a lot of people.”
- Ericka Nickels, Poplar Grove, IL

My loan experience with Kurt was perfect
“When I met with Kurt we sat in a private office and he was upfront about everything!  Every detail, every piece of paper I needed as far as documentation.  He was very open and honest, and presented everything to me, and so I could understand it.  He didn’t talk above me; he went through things sometimes TWO times.  I made him on one occasion…we questioned something…it was three times.  And then of course he followed through with me through the whole procedure of buying this condominium in Naperville.  This was my second purchase of a home, and this one went so much easier dealing with Kurt.  The whole process, he would call me at home, he would follow through with everything.  And then, of course, at the closing his wife attended.  They had brought a box of cookies which we thought was unique.  I would highly recommend Kurt and his wife to anybody.  The whole group that he deals with was fantastic.  At the closing everything was perfect!  There wasn’t anything that had been left out, all the paperwork was complete.  Everything just went perfect!”

Kurt found me a mortgage when others couldn't
“Kurt was pretty much able to help me out when a lot of other people weren’t able to.  He’s very effective, he’s very knowledgeable.  And he knows what he is doing!”
- Kelvin Falkner, Chicago, IL

We didn't have a lot of money but Kurt helped us get our dream home
“We had come back from down south and we really didn’t have a heck of a lot of money to do things with, but we found a house we wanted and Kurt helped us out and got us all straightened out.  We love the place and he couldn’t have hand picked the neighbors any better.  We have the best neighborhood that I have ever lived in my life, and I am 65 years old.  He’s got a heck of a lot of personality and is a nice guy to do business with!” 
- Dennis Holm, St. Charles, IL

Every mortgage professional should be like Kurt
“Kurt was really efficient.  Every time I had a question I could give him a call, no matter how silly it sounded.  I think I called him 3 or 4 times a day.  I was very happy with GSF Mortgage and how quickly I got my loan approved, and how friendly they were.  Kurt was actually really, really friendly.  He was just extraordinary.  I hope everybody is trained like he is at GSF Mortgage and everywhere else.  It would be great!”
- Shelly Frampton, Aurora, IL

I need a house quick... With Kurt I was pre-qualified in a day 
   “I needed to get a house and I was looking for one pretty quick.  The realtor was a friend of my dad’s.  She got a hold of Kurt.  Kurt came down within a day.  We went through everything, filled out all the paperwork, and I was pre-qualified within a day or so.  So it was very quick and very fast.  And that’s what I was looking for!”
- Tina Goellner, Leland, IL

Two years after bankruptcy... In my new house and with no money down.  Thank you Kurt
“I had financial difficulties with my credit and Kurt was able to get me the loan I wanted and with no down payment.  He has helped me refinance my mortgage several times since the original loan and each time at a lower rate, without a single hitch.  He is extremely professional, courteous, and friendly – an all around good package!”
– Pam Hammer, Elgin, IL     
  
Kurt bent over backwards 200% to get me in a home
“I had the pleasure of working with Kurt and he was the sweetest person I have ever worked with.  He bent over backwards 200% to get me in a home.  I will recommend him to everybody I know who is considering a mortgage.  I recommend him highly, very highly!”
- Delores Jackson, Aurora, IL

Kurt and Marilee were wonderful
“As first time home buyers there were truly the only ones who were helpful and made our experience less stressful.  Thank you!  We will definitely recommend them to anyone we know who’s looking to purchase a home, refinance, etc.  Thank you again!”
- Debbie Brighton and Herb Gaddis, Lombard, IL

Thank you for making our dreams come true
“Kurt, if you had a television commercial for GSF Mortgage, I would be glad to tell people how ‘It is really a great day at GSF Mortgage!’  You told me to have faith and of  course I did still do and then some.  Thank you for making our dreams come true!”
- The Lewis Family, Poplar Grove, IL

Thanks again for everything… Send us more business cards
“I just wanted to say thanks again for everything.  The only thing I can think of to better serve us is to send a few more business cards.  We have been giving them to people we know are looking for a house.  I just referred Kurt to a girl I work with.  I know she was going to meet with you this week.  She has had nothing but good things to say about GSF also.  If you can send a few business cards this way, I will keep referring you to anyone I know looking for a mortgage.  Thanks again!”
- Melissa Griesmann, Leland, IL

You have earned our trust by consistently doing the right thing for us regardless of how it affected you
 “I personally think that you and Marilee have, and continue to exceed our expectations!  It really seems like so many people in the ‘service industry’ don’t have a clue as to what service means.  I hear so much about this shift we’re experiencing from profit driven to customer driven.  Where are these companies and how can I put my name on their client list?  You are single handedly the only business person that has kept in touch with me – even after the closing.  You have always been kind and professional (even after the 1,000,001 questions and concerns); you’ve been consistent; and most important to me you have kept me informed through the various different processes of getting a loan and refinancing our home.  Lord knows we probably weren’t the easiest of customers, which is another reason I should say thank you!  You have earned our trust by consistently doing the right thing for us regardless of how it affected you.  Thanks again!”
