PERL Mortgage has been leading Chicago’s mortgage industry since 1994, manages loans from application to closing, and is licensed to provide services across all 50 states.
Founded by renowned financial authority Ken Perlmutter, PERL is now celebrating its second decade as one of Chicago’s most respected independent financial institutions – and has three Chicagoland offices with over 100 employees and affiliates across the country.
In 2003, PERL funded $1.1 billion in loans and was named #14 on the prestigious Crain’s Chicago Business List of Largest Mortgage Lenders. In 2006, National Mortgage News listed PERL as the top private correspondent lender in Illinois.
And we’re still growing.
PERL works with a multitude of national lenders and consistently finds the best rate and program to fit the needs of our unique client base.
PERL provides efficient loans with fast turnaround times and incomparable customer service. Other companies use outside underwriters, document preparation and closers. PERL streamlines the mortgage process by keeping your loan in-house from the moment you apply to the day you close – and because PERL is a mortgage banker, your loan can close in a matter of days.
And after you close, PERL keeps your financial needs in mind. We notify you when economic trends shift – and are committed to working with you to make home ownership a continued success.
We pride ourselves in building lifelong associations with our clients – and will help you finance more than just your first home.
At PERL, we’re Your Lender for Life.
