I've lost count on the number of transactions I've seen the work of Cody and Karli! They do great by their clients, with excellent communication throughout.

Natalya and I wanted to say thank you to both of you Chuck and Pam for getting us into our new home. You guys went over and beyond for us and that means a lot in this process to have someone to answer our questions any time of the day or night and never made us feel like a bother, even helped us with somewhere to stay through the process. This was the lowest time in my life as a single parent and you guys came through and showed up and showed out for us. Thank you from both of us again and I look forward to doing business and send lots of business your way.

advice every step of the way.
Thanks to your hard work and commitment, I am now a proud homeowner, and I couldn't
have done it without your assistance.

Fantastic Lender, Can't Refer Him To Enough People!

Chuck is all business, all the time, and he helped me with my new home purchase every step of the way. He's available, he's supportive, patient, and funny as all heck. I will be referring him to everyone I know!

Thank you Chuck!! We appreciate you and all that you have done for us. We are going to most likely be moving out of state in the next year so we will hopefully be able to work with you again! My dad is buying a machine shop (Krystians line of work) so wherever he decides to buy we will go and Krystian will work for him. You always deliver such great service and also make us feel like we are family. Thank you so much for all of your help. I hope you have a great rest of your week!

Highly available and proactive

Chuck is on top of things. He was available to answer questions during days and times that I would not have reasonably expected him to. He kept things rolling with our realtor behind the scenes, and was highly informative on what options we had available to us. I would recommend Chuck to another first time home buyer.


5 Star Zillow Review
Highly, highly, highly recommend Chuck!

Chuck is hands down the BEST lender we could have picked. He is the most responsive professional I have ever worked with, he knows the market and was always quick to provide answers and feedback when we had questions during our home search. We were in an extremely competitive situation and Chuck quickly went above and beyond to ensure we won the bid. I have no doubt that we would have lost this house had we chosen someone else. We needed an aggressive close date and he came through seamlessly, with no delay and helped us lock in the interest rate at it’s lowest point. Look no further than Chuck, you will not regret it!

The customer service was top notch and Chuck went above and beyond to help my husband and I through all the paperwork and other details. He was patient with our questions and worked tirelessly to make sure everything was in order for closing. I'll definitely continue to refer others to your team. Many thanks!!!

Hello my name is Tamora,
I worked with Chuck Silver to purchase my home in 2013 and to refinance it in 2015. Chuck provided exceptional service both times. I plan on buying some income property next year and I will call Chuck. If you are looking to purchase or refinance call Chuck Silver and his team!

Best,
Tamora

Just a little BIG THANK YOU for making this happen for us. Thanks for remaining patient with us and helping us understand.
Thank you for breaking down the terminology!! Without you, we would have been lost!
Thank you-thank you-thank you!

"Chuck made the entire process of refinancing completely simple and worry-free. Not only was he fantastic to work with on this, but he added a good amount of levity to the situation, which made it much less stresssful overall. He made it a great experience from start to finish. I'd recommend working with him to anyone."
Jason F, Villa Park


"My husband and I had tried for 6 months to refinance our home. We got the run around from two different places. We almost gave up when we were introduced to Chuck Silver. He worked with us to lower our interest rate over 3% and dropping our mortgage payment by almost $400. From the beginning, Chuck was very prompt on returning calls and emails. He would always explain things to us and kept us informed during the whole process. He is a people person. Although refinancing can be stressful, he really was the reason it was very easy and stress free. I would recommend Chuck Silvers for your refinance!! Thank you Chuck!! "
Nicole & James Minogue, Streamwood, Il.


"Chuck did an absolutely amazing job. While GMAC was busy making excuses and wasting my time, Chuck did in 3 Weeks what GMAC couldn't do in 4 months. He made me feel confident every step of the way and made my refi a breeze. I'm excited to continue working with Chuck in other real estate dealings in the future. Thanks Chuck!"
Jon S. Hanover Park, Ill


I was kept in the loop through the entire process. There weren't any surprises. He is very knowledgeable of the process and if he isn't sure about something he will find an answer for you.
M. Chandler, Chicago, IL


Mr. Silver worked tirelessly to help our family get the best rates and the quickest close possible. He was willing to explain and was always available at all hours to answer questions.
Mr. Silver is professional and yet very friendly and approachable. He is extremely knowledgeable and has communication skills that allow him to fully explain complicated ideas in a way that is understandable.

The benefit of working with Chuck is his knowledge of this profession. He is straight forward, and honest.

Heard nothing but the best about chuck! Got exactly what I wanted.
J. Ector, Chicago IL


We searched Chuck out due to word of mouth about his experience and expertise. This might have been the least stressful refinance in the history of refinancing. He handled everything in a very timely manner and made my life easy. He's a great communicator. I feel I got a very genuine person that was looking out for my best interests throughout the entire process.

If you are looking for a mortgage lender in the Thayer area, look no further than Navigator Mortgage. We were bracing ourselves for a complicated, daunting process, but Adrian and Emily were absolutely amazing to work with and made everything feel almost effortless.

They handled all the heavy lifting and kept us informed every step of the way. It is rare to find service this efficient, kind, and genuinely friendly. We are so grateful for their hard work in helping us get into our new home—they truly care about their clients here in Thayer. Five stars all the way!

As a real estate agent serving both Missouri and Arkansas, I know that buying or selling a home is often one of the biggest decisions a person will ever make. I take great pride in helping my clients feel supported, informed, and cared for every step of the way — treating them like family. Because of that, it’s incredibly important to me that I refer them to professionals who share those same values.

That’s exactly why I confidently recommend Adrian Clary. Deal after deal, she has earned my trust with my clients and with me. Her proven track record, deep industry knowledge, and clear understanding of an ever-changing market make her an incredible resource for both realtors and borrowers. Every transaction we’ve worked on together has been smooth, efficient, and genuinely low-stress — which is exactly what our clients deserve. I’m always happy to partner with her and will continue recommending her time and time again.

I’m going to do my best to get my point across as to just how great it is to work with Adrian Clary and her team. If you have mortgage lending needs and you are looking, after you read this you will click the link to get started with them. You would be doing yourself a disservice using anyone else. I started my lending journey back in late October with a different company, I was 5 days from closing. Something just didn’t sit right for me and luckily I was put in touch with Adrian. She looked over my loan estimate and saw the same red flags I did and simply said, “if you will trust me, I will do my best to do better than the others and I will try to do it within the same closing date.” Well here we are at closing, on the same original date, with lower interest, no more out of pocket than originally and a lower payment. The fact that she stayed true at every turn, answered every question as quickly as I could ask it and the rest of the team was as prompt and courteous. The effort this team put forth to make sure that I was satisfied and understood everything that was taking place, was impeccable. They truly are rock stars at what they do. So if you have mortgage lending needs and you are searching, rest assured, your search is over. You have found the best.

Adrian and her team at Navigator Mortgage were amazing! We found a fixer-upper that we loved, but getting it to clear the appraisal companies requirements was a bit tricky. She handled all the hurdles with with the appraisal and got us into the monthly payment and down payment that we're right for us.

As a first-time buyer and being out of state, Adrian made this whole home purchase feel easy and helped us do this process remotely. She also connected us with the best realtor imaginable. We could not have done this without both their help.

Thank you so much to Adrian, Emily, and the team at Navigator Mortgage for getting us into our dream property!

I bought a new home a few weeks ago through navigator mortgage. Adrian is amazing. I followed her from her last employment because of how amazing she is at her job. If you're on the fence about who to use for your next mortgage, you won't go wrong by calling Adrian. She has a great team. From finding my house to closing she was right there.

She has the process streamlined to a "T". We can't thank the team enough for the constant communication and the foundation of trust that keeps us coming back.

Karli is amazing! I have recently started working with her (I'm a realtor) and her approach to complicated or challenging transactions has been very proactive and thoughtful. In a recent transaction I absolutely know we would not have closed on time if we hadn't had her pushing things through her underwriting team. 100% because of the listing agents constant delays with sending required information - NOT because of anything happening on her end. She went the extra mile to make up for the deficit on that side and we have a very happy client because of it! I'll add that my number one concern when I'm working with people is communication. I want to know EXACTLY what is happening and how this will impact my clients and Karli is very proactive about providing information. I never want to be caught off guard or surprised and I appreciate that not happening with Karli. Highly recommend. :)

Good experience Would recommend again Help and kept us up to date Good interest rate Good terms Good people to work with Would recommend to friends and family.

Tom Mencke - if you want someone who is knowledgeable, professional and easy to work with, Tom is your guy!
Tom Mencke and his assistant, Samantha, are great to work with. Tom's years of experience made me feel confident I was getting the best advice. He does an excellent job of explaining different options and what the upside (or downside) of each option, is. Tom and Sam made what could have been a stressful process, an easy process. All communication with Tom and Sam was prompt and clear at every step in the process.

Tom saves the day!
As a 1st time home buyer I didn't do enough research. After a previous lender led me on only to drop me at the 11th hour. Tom came in, advised me on how we could get the sale done and went the EXTRA MILE all the way to closing!

Hi Gene, Just wanted to thank you so much for all your assistance to obtain a loan for the purchase of my townhome. Lots of steps to get there . But you got me through them all. I greatly appreciated your expertise, professionalism ,attention to detail , and endless patience! Judy C.


From Jake G ...

The home buying process was made easy, thanks to Gene Mundt. From Pre-approval to Closing on the house, I never felt lost because all my questions were answered. I had so much guidance from Gene it made daunting tasks simple. Even after closing, Gene is still helping me by making sure I understand the mortgage payment plan. Thank you, Gene! My fiance' and I really appreciate all the help you have given to us!

From Hugo and Lydia ...

We have worked with Gene Mundt two times before. He helped us with our very 1st home loan in 2014. Gene answered our every question and explained everything to a T. We really liked how helpful he was. He treated us like people, not just another number.
In 2018, we decided to sell our 1st home and buy another. We went back to Gene again for our financing. He broke everything down and even helped us beyond those things strictly pertaining to his "job". We are grateful for the smooth process Gene provided us when financing our homes and highly recommend him to anyone!

From Nathan S. and Jill W. ...

As first-time home buyers, we did not know a lot about how mortgages worked or even know where to look for one. Luckily for us, our realtor referred us to Gene Mundt. We couldn't be happier on our decision of using Gene. He was always there to answer any questions that would arise when searching for our home. When we finally found our home and it was time to talk numbers, Gene made this step of the house buying process easy to understand. He took the time to explain to us where each dollar amount was going and how it impacted our down payment and our monthly payment.
We both really appreciate Gene taking the extra time to do this because it allowed Gene to get to know us on a more personal level and make sure that the payments would be something that we could handle on a monthly basis. When it came to the Closing date, Gene was adamant on being at the Closing to make sure that if we had any questions that he was there to answer them. If we were to do the process all over again, we would not hesitate one bit to use Gene. He is a very reliable, intelligent, and hard-working individual. Thank you again, Gene for all the hard work you did for us.

From Chris and Wendy M ...

Thank you! We are so excited about our new house! Thanks for making our financing simple, Gene.

From Frank S. ...

Thank you again for everything. I look forward to working with you again. In the meantime, I have a good friend who would like to have the best work for her and her new house. You are a trustworthy person and that's exactly what she needs. Good Luck my friend ...

From Dan and Mary H. ...

I just wanted to let you know the Closing went smoothly and Mary and I both wanted to "thank you" again. Your dedication and hard work is appreciated each and every time we work with you, Gene. As always, we will continue to send referrals your way.

From Doug and Deirdre M. ...

We were first-time homebuyers looking to move from Chicago to the Suburbs. Our Agent recommended Gene Mundt and APMC to us. Gene helped us navigate through the unchartered territory of being first-time buyers during the COVID-1`9 crisis. He was always there to pick-up the phone or quickly responded to our email if we have a question. His priority was to make sure we felt comfortable and understood the whole mortgage process. His communication skills are unparalleled and he was the guiding hand we needed during this time. We rate him "10 out of 10" and would recommend Gene and APMC to any friends and family looking to finance a home in the future.


*My wife and I found Gene about 17 years ago when we were ready to buy our first home. While we were entering the largest and most stressful purchase of our life, Gene's knowledge, professionalism, and calm demeanor made the whole process much easier than we were expecting. We have used Gene's services two more times since then, and each time it got better!
Several years ago we contacted Gene to do a refi. He evaluated all the circumstances and recommended that we did not make a change at that time. When someone invests the time & effort to review your situation and advises you to NOT purchase their services, that screams integrity & honesty to us! We would highly recommend Gene to anyone looking for a mortgage or Refi!

*From Don & Beth S. upon their successful Closing: When we first moved to Illinois 12 years ago, Gene made our house buying a smooth process.

*From Lauren E. upon her successful Closing: I was a first-time home buyer unsure of the mortgage process. Gene helped me every step along the way and I couldn't ask for anything better. He was understanding and quickly responded to my many questions. I couldn't of been happier with the service and would recommend him to anyone.

*From Jim W. after his Closing: Gene made our entire loan process easy and seamless. We both had very little finance savvy yet Gene was able to quickly break down what was needed so we could spend our time with our twins. I highly suggest using Gene to anyone looking for a loan. He was realistic with putting our family in a safe loan we can handle, yet still enjoy the home we wanted. Thanks Gene!

*From Denis C., Successfully Closed Client: Gene was very professional throughout the entire experience. Whenever I had a question, he responded back quickly and thoroughly. Not only did he guide me through the mortgage process, but he also was very helpful in letting me know what to expect next during the home buying process. I could not recommend him enough. Do yourself a favor and look no further.

*From Heidi N., Client - after her Closing: Gene was wonderful to work with! He was thorough, responsive, and knowledgeable.

He found the best options for financing our home. Highly HIGHLY recommend working with him.

*From Phil T., Client - after his Closing: Gene puts his heart and sole into working for his client. We were a hard case that other mortgage brokers could or would not work with. Gene not only took on the hard case, but got us in our new home in less than 60 days. I would never use anyone but Gene in the future.

*From Antonia Campobasso, Re/Max Vision 212 - Chicago: Gene is one of the most knowledgeable lenders out there. If I could give him 10 stars I would. I have trusted in him for over 5 years and he has closed each and every deal smoothly. My clients can't thank me enough for recommending him because of the great job he does. He is so patient and explains the process thoroughly. I'm confident you will have the same experience if you choose to use his services. I highly recommend this lender.

*From Brad & Kate upon the Closing of their loan: I wanted to actually write-out a thank you card, but I have terrible penmanship and things are pretty crazy right now, so this will have to suffice. I cannot say how thankful we are for what you have done for us over the past several months. Whenever we needed something you were always available and responded in a timely manner. With how crazy the real estate market was/is, we needed some sound people to work with and I have no regrets about going with you for our mortgage. It is rare these days to find the level of professionalism and genuine concern for clients that you expressed for Kate and I. Throughout this entire process it was evident that you had the highest expectations for yourself and the people you worked with, and that means a lot. As I said before, I will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone we know!

*From Jody & Josh P. regarding the Closing of their loan: Thank you for all your help in getting this new house for Josh and I. I know we had LOTS of questions and concerns along the way, but you were always available and patient with us!

*Jim Karges, Broker/Owner of Karges Real Estate, Joliet, IL said:
Gene Mundt has handled my client's mortgage needs for the past 20+ years and is always honest, straight-forward, and professional. There isn't another lender that I trust more than Gene to assist my clients.

*Evelyn Santiago, Heart Realty Group said:
Gene is the best mortgage officer I have had the privilege to work with. He will let the buyer know if he can buy the home and if they can't works with them to change their goals so that they will be able to do it in the future by giving them the knowledge to help themselves.

*From Susan S: First-Time Home Buyer
Gene Mundt was one of my biggest assets when purchasing my first home. At a time that is intimidating and overwhelming for most, he made me feel secure and informed throughout each step. Gene's knowledge and passion is what allows me to recommend him without hesitation.
