Jim Pomposelli - Lakeside Bank N Ashland Ave, Chicago

Jim was excellent. He was accessible for questions whenever I had them and I could see he was very passionate about keeping the purchase moving in the right direction and dealing with any setbacks with a calm and professional attitude. Thanks to him I connected with my real state agent and the rest of a team who made the first home buying process pretty smooth for me. He always listened to my concerns and addressed them and made sure to help me lock in a rate and monthly payment that I was comfortable with. I would recommend him to anyone I know who is buying a home in Chicago.

My family and I were looking for a house this last Spring when I asked our agent for a list of his favorite mortgage bankers. Jim and a few others were on that list, and I had a list of other recommended people and companies. Jim won our business by answering questions quickly and efficiently. Jim was extremely personable, knowledgable, and helpful during the entire mortgage process. He was available via phone, text, and email. When we needed quotes, Jim was on it. If we didn't understand a piece of paperwork we received, Jim would explain it within minutes of us asking a question. Some people in Jim's position may take hours to answer a simple question, or not send out a quote during a volatile bidding war, or even hand you off to someone else. Jim is on it. He's fast. He's efficient. He's trustworthy. We were so glad to have him as part of our home-buying team.

Jim was recommended to me by a friend and he went way above and beyond as a lender. I am a first time home buyer and he helped me to understand the whole process of buying a home. He got me the best rates and told me the truth about what was realistic. I am generally very skeptical of people but when I was working with Jim, from start to finish, I knew I was in the best hands possible. I am recommending him, confidently, to all of my friends that are considering buying a home. He is 100% looking out for his clients and you will not regret working with him.

Jim recently helped my fiancee and I purchase our first home. Even as an experienced real estate broker in the industry there are still many challenges to navigate in the home loan process. Jim helped us navigate these challenges so that we could close on time with a great rate. Highly recommend Jim as a lender you should work with!

Jim was knowledgable, helpful, and always available to answer our questions as first time home buyers. I also appreciated that Jim had a great sense of humor and made the whole process more enjoyable. We will absolutely work with Jim again in the future and I will recommend him to friends and family in the area.

Jim was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire house buying process! He was easy to communicate with, completely transparent, and also provided a super competitive rate. He was also available to answer all my questions as a first time home buyer and has a great personality / sense of humor which was welcomed during a process which can be a bit stressful. I will definitely be working through Jim for all future loans and highly recommend him for anyone looking to obtain lending!

Jim is easy going, responsive, and provided the best service. I talked to a few different mortgage lenders but I felt most comfortable and confident with him. Moreover, he also provided me with the lowest rate. He answered all my questions and more. He's great at following up and meeting deadlines. He's the type of lender I would recommend to my friends.

Jim was incredibly helpful throughout the mortgage-lending process. As first-time homebuyers, we had many questions. Jim was always quick to respond and gave thorough answers. He made himself available even during off hours. He helped us understand what was happening during the fast-paced process. We highly recommend Jim and Lakeside Bank. Thanks for making it a smooth and painless experience!

Jim was readily available and accessible for any and all questions I (a first time home buyer) had from the start! Very consultative in giving insights on mortgage options and whether or not I was making the right decision at any stage in the home buying process. Regularly reached out during and after my home search to ensure I knew he still had me top of mind in case I needed anything. Jim will be the first person I reach out to if I am looking for mortgage services again!

Jim was by far the best lender I’ve worked with! He works closely with you throughout the process and will offer to have calls with you to explain next steps throughout the process. He was even able to help me close on my home with a tight deadline (less than 30 days). He is always there if you need anything and is super easy to work with!

Jim and his team at Lakeside are absolutely wonderful, and made our whole process as first-time home buyers such a smooth experience! He guided us through the whole loan process without any doubts, and went above and beyond by ensuring we were clear to close under our time crunch circumstances. He's also honest, funny, and such great human all around. Cheers to Jim, and thank you for everything!!

One of the best Loan Officers in the business! Jim helped one of my buyers in a particularly stressful sale. I'd recommend Jim to anyone looking to buy, regardless of asset type! He will get the job done and ensure you close on time! Thanks, Jim!

Jim was beyond helpful to me during my first time home buying experience! He explained everything in detail, would text me updates, and made sure everything was done on time and correctly. I could not recommend him enough!!! Thanks Jim!!!
