My wife and I had a wonderful experience buying our first home! Amy was on top of everything throughout the entire process, and Roberta helped us successfully close the deal. We truly appreciate all their hard work, guidance, and support. We hope to work with 1st Eagle Mortgage again in the future. Thank you so much!🙂🙂

Amy & Bryan were with us from start to finish, making sure we had everything we needed to close on the home of our dreams. They were a guiding hand in an uncertain process. We couldn't have asked for anything more and really appreciated the personal touch of 1st Eagle Mortgage!

I cannot say enough good things about Herb and 1st Eagle. I called Herb on a whim after seeing his positive reviews, and I am very thankful for it. Herb was transparent, honest and patient throughout the entire process and was always available for any questions we had. Ultimately, he got us the best rate on the best home. Again, I am so thankful I made that phone call. I will refer everyone I know to Herb moving forward. Thanks for everything Herb!

We had an excellent experience working with Amy and Pam at 1st Eagle Mortgage, especially as first time homebuyers. From the very beginning, Amy was incredibly patient with us and always responded quickly whenever we had questions. She took the time to explain things clearly and made sure we understood what was happening throughout the process. What really stood out to us was how much we felt Amy was genuinely looking out for our best interest. She helped us lock in a lower rate, and even though we weren't sure if or when we were actually going to purchase a home, she was patient and continued to work with us. We never felt pressured. Instead, we felt like she truly cared about helping us find the right opportunity and making sure we were getting the best deal possible. Amy and Pam also worked very well together. Everything was transparent, organized, and clearly communicated. Pam was incredibly responsive as well and was always available whenever we reached out with questions. Buying our first home was a big and sometimes overwhelming experience, but having Amy and Pam there to guide us made a huge difference. We are extremely grateful for their patience, professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care throughout the entire process. Thank you Amy and Pam.

I recently purchased my home in Skokie and I cannot say enough great things about working with Herb Levine. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, transparent, and stress-free — which, as a homebuyer, means everything. Herb brings years of experience to the table, and it truly shows. He took the time to walk me through every step of the loan process, making sure I understood my options without ever feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Most impressively, he worked hard to secure me a lower interest rate than I expected — that kind of dedication to getting the best deal for his clients is rare and genuinely appreciated. What also stood out was his team. Everyone was professional, responsive, and truly cared about making sure the process went smoothly. It felt like I had a whole group of people in my corner. If you’re looking for a mortgage professional who combines deep expertise with real personal attention, look no further than Herb Levine at 1st Eagle Mortgage.

We’ve asked First Eagle to handle two mortgages for our primary residence, the second an refi. They were the easiest financings we have ever done. Service was excellent. Herb and Pam were always available to explain next steps and walk us through all the way to closing. They are hands on and provide great personal service.

I had a great experience with 1st Eagle Mortgage. I sought out a few brokerages to shop for my mortgage and this one was the best. I got the lowest rate while also having a broker who helped me understand everything. Very responsive and able to answer questions. I would definitely recommend.

First Eagle Mortgage came highly recommended. My son "shopped" 1st Eagle and others and chose 1st Eagle. My turn came, I "shopped" 1st Eagle and another highly recommended, and chose 1st Eagle. Amy was increasingly helpful, supportive, and professional. The whole process was incredibly fast because we wanted it that way. I highly recommend 1st Eagle Mortgage to anyone who needs a mortgage.
