About Jon Goldman
Helping homebuyers and investors across Chicago and beyond secure financing with speed, precision, and confidence. Hi, I'm Jon Goldman, a mortgage loan officer serving the North Shore of Chicago, the city of Chicago, surrounding suburbs, and clients across 20+ states, helping buyers navigate the mortgage process with unmatched efficiency and transparency. I specialize in working with first-time buyers, investors, self-employed clients, luxury buyers, and repeat homeowners across Winnetka, Wilmette, Glencoe, Kenilworth, Northfield, Glenview, Lake Forest, and beyond, offering expert guidance on everything from conforming to complex portfolio and Non-QM solutions. Whether you're: - Buying your first home - Financing a luxury or investment property - Looking into programs like Jumbo, VA, FHA, ARMs, or DSCR loans I'll walk you through your options and help you choose the right strategy, not just the easiest one. What sets me apart: - 30+ years of experience and 7,500+ families helped ($850M+ in volume) - Top 1% Mortgage Executive Magazine and Scotsman Guide honoree - 99.8% customer success rate with an average closing time of 10 days or less - 24/7 availability with a proactive, no-surprises approach Do you need 20% down to buy a home? No—many buyers qualify with as little as 3–5% down depending on the loan program. What credit score do you need? It varies, but there are options available even if your credit isn't perfect. How much home can you afford? That depends on your income, debt, and goals. I'll help you break it down clearly. I've helped thousands of clients, from first-time buyers to high-net-worth individuals, secure financing quickly and efficiently, and I'm known for making complex transactions feel simple. Check out my client reviews below to see what it's like to work together. When I'm not helping clients, you'll find me spending time with my wife Erica and our three kids, skiing in Aspen, and staying active in the community through organizations like the Winnetka-Northfield-Glencoe Chamber of Commerce, the Concussion Legacy Foundation, and Blood Cancer United. I believe this business is about relationships, and being someone people can rely on long after closing. If you're looking for speed, transparency, and results, let's connect.
