I recently purchased a home near O'Hare in Chicago. Mike & OriginPoint's staff handled my affairs with extreme promptness, stellar communication and explained things step by step along the way. I've been through this process before but he made sure to cover every detail with such patience and one by one handled every concern and question I had during the process. Carefully mapping out what the process should and will look like helping guide me through and limiting stress as best as possible. A remarkably fast process: going from pre-approval to closing in less than 30 days. Thank you Mike and OriginPoint.

We had the most seamless and stressless process due to Mike, Lisa, and the team’s guidance as we navigated through buying our first home. There was constant clear communication in timely manners by all team members. Mike goes above and beyond when supporting you and does an excellent job educating you along the way, which was appreciated. We are so thankful for Mike and his team’s guidance and will definitely be using them in the future!!!

We worked with Mike and his team for the purchase of our home in Geneva, IL. This house was our third purchase and we noticed the difference between how Mike and previous home mortgage lenders led us through the process every step of the way! If you are looking for a person that really cares, is knowledgeable, has years of experience and will take the time to make sure you understand exactly what you are doing, please work with Mike. We had a lot of questions and he explained all possible options in detail, ran the numbers multiple times and served as a great partner as we thought through different options. The entire process was clear, communication was excellent and as a result we had the shortest closing to date, just 45 min! All due to the attention and preparation Mike led us through. Can’t recommend this team enough.

I recently bought a house for the first time solo and Mike McNamara was my go to person at Origin Point. He spent the time I needed to understand my options and the process to securing the house I wanted. He’s very knowledgeable and offered his time and energy whenever I needed it (even by text at any time of day). It’s a big investment and an important that I got it right and understood it. I really appreciated his patience and guidance in this process. I would recommend him over and over again. 🙌🏻

We had such a great experience working with Mike and his entire team! From start to finish, they made the mortgage process incredibly easy and were always responsive, helpful, and quick to answer any questions we had. Mike was especially great at explaining everything clearly and making sure we always knew what to expect next. We used a VA loan, and his knowledge and guidance throughout the process made everything feel seamless. The online technology was also very straightforward and made uploading documents and keeping everything moving really easy. The team were fantastic to work with; knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely helpful throughout the whole experience. We felt like we were in great hands and would absolutely recommend Mike to anyone looking for a mortgage lender!

Mike did a great job at walking us through the lending process, offering advice, and answering our questions. He was very flexible and accessible; we were regularly in touch with him outside of business hours.

Mike McNamara was extremely knowledgeable and patient throughout the whole mortgage process. He answered questions in a timely manner and put me at ease throughout this process. He’s was kind and efficient. I would highly recommend him to family and friends!

We first met Mike with little to no information on the home buying process. To be honest, we did not have a great idea of what was needed, how ready we were/weren't to purchase a home. Mike was exceedingly patient and thorough walking us through everything we needed to know. Turned out, we were a lot closer to purchasing a home than we realized. So much so within 2.5 months of meeting Mike for an initial chat we closed on our new home. Could not be happier with our choice to work with Mike. We absolutely had a few lucky breaks along the way but each step Mike was there to answer questions and helped us feel ready to make a big, life altering step.

Sep 2, 2026

Mike was fantastic! He helped us every step of the process. As first time homebuyers he couldn't have made us feel more confident; he answered all our questions, ran us through every detail, and ensured we hit every milestone in the process on time. He was able to help us close quickly which was a game changer in having our offer accepted. Would recommend Mike wholeheartedly to anyone looking to buy a house!

Mike and his team were prompt, thorough, and pleasant to work with.

Mike was great to work with. He made the processes of getting pre-approved and approved as easy and straightforward as could be expected. He demystified and thoroughly explained information about the loan process. He was available to help with pre-approval letters when we needed them quickly to make offers. He regularly checked in throughout the loan approval process and even after the loan was funded, he continued to check in to make sure we knew all the information. I would definitely work with him again in the future.

Mike and his whole team were incredible. I plan on dying in my new home, but if that changes Mike will be reenlisted in short order.

Jun 23, 2026

As a first time homebuyer, i didn't know what to expect but Mike was very resourceful, helpful and had answers to all our questions! He explained the processes involved step by step multiple times. Communication was very prompt, Mike and his team carried us along, we didnt have to go fishing for answers or asking what was next! Getting mortgage can be a stressful process but having a knowledgable loan officer to walk you through is a blessing! Thank you so much Mike and everyone at Originpoint.

The team alone was outstanding

Everyone at origin point was very clear with what they needed from us and explained explained every stop of the way clearly which was amazing for our first time buying a home

Mike and his team were incredibly hands-on during my application, pre-approval, the multiple offers we put in over the course of the interactions, and closing steps. The value that Mike and his team offer are truly end-to-end with a hyper-individualized approach (step-by-step review of all documents at each point in the process, or not!) and the availability is unparalleled.

Mike and his team were amazing to work with. They were all very responsive, gave clear instructions on each step of the process, and they were available any time we asked to check in.

Mike and his team made the first time home buying process a breeze. He was incredibly attentive to every detail and always available whenever I had questions or needed support. As a first-time homebuyer, I had a lot to learn, but Mike did an amazing job breaking down the loan process in a way that was easy to understand and follow. He went above and beyond throughout the entire process and made what could have been a stressful experience feel manageable. I’m so grateful for all of the support from Mike and his team. There is no one else I would trust with the loan process, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home.

Mike and his team were great to work with throughout our home buying process! Getting preapproved was very easy, allowing us to make strong offers in an incredibly challenging market. And once we had our offer accepted, they were quick, organized, and made the closing process pretty simple. They were always on top of the situation and kept us informed throughout.

I was really impressed with Mike at OriginPoint. He is one of few business professionals I know that will tell it to you straight and actually provide an opinion based in reality and relevant experience. Mike provided helpful financial recommendations and took time to thoroughly explain what exactly was happening during each step of the mortgage/loan process. Mike and his team did a great job of clearly expressing expectations of documentation submission and provided friendly reminders about deadlines. Lisa and Jenna were also very supportive, friendly, and helpful throughout my experience with OriginPoint. All staff were very attentive and timely in answering my numerous questions. Highly recommend!

Great to work with. Communication was the best

Mike and his team were absolutely fantastic. They were so easy to work with, always available to clarify and answer any questions. This was the 2nd time we utilized him and his team for a home purchase and we will continue to work with them as long as they’re available and willing to help in the future. Highly recommend!

I used Mike for my recent property purchase and it was by far the most organized and clear experience I’ve had, compared to lenders I’ve used previously. Highly recommend!

Mike and his entire team could not have been more helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. As a first time home buyer I was nervous about the process and felt clueless on everything. Mike walked me through all the steps and answered all of my questions! His team sent me easy step by step instructions of what they needed to get my loan approved. I couldn’t be more grateful for this team’s help and recommend them to everyone.

Mike was incredible to work with! After our first meeting he made sure to remember that I was a teacher and he began talking us through the process at hours that best suited us! He would call and ask questions/ give updates on my drives home, and allowed us for so many opportunities to ask questions and ensure we understood each step of the lending process. I cannot recommend his help enough, and I am certain that I will use him for any other financial/ lending help in the future. Mike you are such a genuine guy and Rob and I cannot thank you enough!!!!

Mike is great to work with, he is professional and is patient. His communication is excellent, he responsive when you need him to be, which you don’t see too much these days. The journey was long because we hit a few bumps in the road on our end. Mike stood by us every step of the way and never gave up on us and my dream to buy my home. Mike made possible what other lenders wouldn’t even take the time to discuss with me. He is a numbers guy, he is truthful and honest with what can and cannot be done and walks you through the whole process the entire way, days, evenings, weekends whatever it takes he is there for you. I could have not asked for a better person to take this journey with. Mike I can’t thank you enough for everything you have done for me and my family, I am eternally grateful for all your hard work in helping make this dream come true. I will recommend you to everyone I know as I know they will be in good hands with you.

Exceptional! As a broker, I’m grateful for the outstanding service on this transaction. My clients received their clear-to-close early, and the communication was truly top-tier, timely, proactive, and seamless from start to finish. An absolute pleasure to work with.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ When I first met with my realtor about a year and a half ago, she connected me with Mike at OriginPoint — and I couldn’t be more grateful. From our very first conversation, Mike was a phenomenal financial advocate who truly took the time to understand my goals. We went over all my finances and numbers together to see what I could and couldn’t afford, and ultimately decided it was best to wait until I was in a stronger position to buy. Fast-forward to this year — more than a year and a half later — I reached back out to Mike because I needed a new vehicle and wasn’t sure if that would affect my chances of becoming a homeowner. To my benefit, Mike was incredibly knowledgeable and reassuring. He encouraged me to go through the pre-approval process, and it’s almost as if the universe aligned — because once I was pre-approved, everything started to fall into place. Even though I wasn’t actively house-hunting, I found the most perfect home. That moment catapulted me into the home-buying process, and Mike and his amazing team — Rina and Lisa — were by my side every step of the way. They were responsive, kind, and truly went above and beyond — answering every question by phone, text, or email, often the very same day. Rina and Lisa were incredibly helpful throughout the underwriting process, making sure everything stayed on track and that I always felt supported and informed. Even when unexpected challenges arose, Mike and his team worked quickly to regroup and find solutions, ensuring I was able to close on my very first home. I’ll never forget the joy and excitement Mike shared when he found out I was purchasing my first home in the neighborhood I love — the perfect place to raise my daughter. I can’t recommend Mike, Rina, and Lisa at OriginPoint enough. They are not just lenders — they are genuine advocates who care deeply about helping you achieve your dream of home-ownership.

Answered all my questions quickly and in detail.

Mike was a true professional. He walked us thru every part of the home buying business. That’s important because we don’t do this every day like he does.
