  • “I have worked with Ken and Long Grove Mortgage over the past few years and would recommend them to others who are looking to purchase or re-finance their home! Ken and his team made purchasing and refinancing my home quick, simple, and painless! What I appreciate most is that they are always looking for better rates to lower my monthly payments and save money!”

    - James Jankowski

  • “Working with Chris O'Reilly is always a positive experience. As a Realtor I have had the opportunity to work with her on many deals, her attention to detail and expertise makes for a smooth and quick transaction every time! I appreciate that she communicates with her clients throughout the process so everyone involved knows where we stand at all times!”

    - Amii Nielsen, Baird & Warner

  • “I have been working with Ken and his staff for the past several years. He has been quite diligent in searching for better ways to refinance my primary residence. He stays on top of the market and reaches out whenever there is a favorable development. Consequently, we have been quite successful with the various products available in the market. I would wholeheartedly recommend his services.”

    - Sandy

  • “Prior to working with Ken Friend of Long Grove Mortgage Bancorp, refinancing a mortgage was a tedious, time-consuming, and annoying process. Trying to determine the best rate and terms, or deciding who has the best offer, is a task, but trying to put all of the required documents together and communicate with the lender (or the often less than knowledgeable staff) is even more of a challenge. Ken makes the entire process simple; he handles the paperwork, deals with the lenders, and negotiates the best rates and terms. His relationships with lenders and knowledge of market trends made him an invaluable asset in this process for us. We highly recommend Long Grove Mortgage!”

    - Paul & Eileen Psenka

  • “My husband and I gave Ken Friend the job of finding us a mortgage. My husband had gone into business for himself a couple months before we wanted to move and we knew this would create a hardship for us. Ken and Long Grove Mortgage took great care of us and we got a great mortgage. Equally, whenever we had a question we were able to get a very quick reply. We were very happy we went with Ken. ”
