Hi, I’m Jeff Baker, known as the “Chicago Loan Coach.” I’ve advised clients in search of residential mortgages for over fifteen years. Based in our Chicago, IL branch, my honest, consultative style stems from an unwavering commitment to putting my clients first. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or seasoned veteran, my goal is to get your loan to the closing table with minimal stress and under the best terms available.

As part of America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender, I’m well-recognized in the industry, placing in the top 1% of all lenders in Scotsman Guide. I regularly provide radio commentary, articles, and speeches on my areas of expertise, including jumbo loans, investor loan products, and the first-time home buying experience. I graduated from the University of Notre Dame, where I was a member of the 1988 National Championship football team, and received an MBA in finance from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.
