“Mike made the process seamless, he's extremely personal and doesn't hesitate to jump on a phone call if need be.”

Mike Ward & his team were quite possibly the best part about purchasing a new home here in Chicago...! My wife and I couldn't be happier that we decided to go with Mike as our lender. Mike made the process seamless, he's extremely personal and doesn't hesitate to jump on a phone call if need be. He's always available to his clients via email as well, and his response time is unparalleled. Leading up to the closing, Mike and his team were very professional and made sure we were comfortable with everything. I highly recommend Mike for any and all real estate transactions in the Greater Chicago Area!

Thank you Jason and Andrea for trusting me to be your loan advisor. Congratulations on your new home. Hello to you and the kids from the Ward's.

“Mike and his team took over and with in 2 weeks everything was a done deal. I cannot recommended Mike and his team enough!”

My loan process had been spiraling out of control with my previous lender, and were getting threatened with the deal getting cancelled or pushing the closing for a third time. Mike and his team took over and with in 2 weeks everything was a done deal. I cannot recommended Mike and his team enough!

Devin, thanks again for giving me the chance to do your loan. Granted I only had 2 weeks to do it but it was truly a pleasure and I'm so happy you were able to close on-time. Have a great summer in your new house!

“Mike and his Team not only did all of the above, but also went the extra mile. Thus, far exceeded our expectations.”

My wife and I were recommended to work with with Mike Ward @ Fairway. When buying a home (especially if you are first time homeowner) you want to make sure that you are working with a team of professionals that (1) are experienced, (2) will guide you throughout the entire process from start to finish, (3) will respond in a timely fashion and keep you up to date in real-time on next steps,and (4) offer competitive rates. Mike and his Team not only did all of the above, but also went the extra mile. Thus, far exceeded our expectations. I especially want to highlight his customer service skills - never once did we have to wait long to have a question answered. Mike is a professional and it is a pleasure to recommend him and his team to future homebuyers. Thanks Mike!

Mike Ward is extremely knowledgable of all mortgage loan products and processes - along with knowing how to navigate all the personalities and parties involved with building/closing a house transaction. Mike went up and beyond on every aspect of the loan process from pre-qualification to post closing. Nice work Mike !!

Mike is a great communicator and made a rather complex process very easier to understand. Mike also made the mortgage process relatively seamless and coordinated with our attorney and realtor on a regular basis to save us time coordinating between providers. We give Mike high marks on all aspects of the mortgage process.

“Mike assisted us with the purchase of our first home. We didn't know much about the mortgage process, and Mike was knowledgeable and patient”

Mike assisted us with the purchase of our first home. We didn't know much about the mortgage process, and Mike was knowledgeable and patient throughout the two months that we worked with him. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a broker!
