Hear Directly from Jerry’s Happy Clients
"As a first-time homebuyer, Jerry was the perfect lender. He was quick to respond to my questions and always went out of his way to thoroughly explain details about my purchase both in person and over email. I would definitely work with Jerry again in the future and highly recommend him to other first-time buyers in the area." -Heath B.
"I just recently purchased my second home with Jerry at Prairie State Bank & Trust, and I can't say enough great things. He's always willing to help out whenever and wherever he can. He truly does care from start to finish. Not just about the process of the loan and making sure things are done right, but he's always been transparent to ensure that you understand entirety of the loan, what you're signing and why. His knowledge of the market, and furthermore seeing that he truly cares about the people he's working with always amazes me!
Hands down, one of the best!" - Matt C.
"Jerry helped me through my first home buying journey and he was great every step of the way! Any questions I had, or what ifs, he was able to answer and he always responded to me quickly. When you’re in the heat of things it’s good to have someone with his knowledge and experience that can answer any questions you might have or that might arise. Even after the closing he has continued to make sure I have what I need and I can still shoot him a question it it arises. Would gladly recommend him to anyone!" - Will B.
