Written by the company

LendFriend Mortgage, we believe homeownership should be possible for everyone—whether you’re a W-2 employee, a business owner, or a veteran. As a licensed mortgage broker, we shop a wide network of lenders to deliver competitive rates, flexible options, and expert guidance tailored to your situation. We specialize in Non-QM loans, including bank statement mortgages designed for self-employed borrowers and entrepreneurs whose tax returns don’t reflect their true earning power. These programs allow business owners to qualify using their cash flow—not traditional W-2s. For military families, we proudly offer VA loans and VA IRRRLs (Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loans), helping veterans lower payments quickly and with minimal paperwork. Founded by brothers Eric and Michael Bernstein, LendFriend is built on a simple promise: service first, low rates always. With hundreds of verified five-star reviews, our clients know us for clear communication, personal attention, and results that make buying or refinancing a home easier. From first-time buyers to seasoned investors, from crypto-backed asset programs to jumbo financing, our goal is simple: remove the stress from the mortgage process and help you move forward with confidence.

Straight forward and Honest

This was by far the easiest process or getting a refinance done. They called or emailed me when they needed something and got everything else squared away behind the scenes. The rate we got we perfectly on the mark for the market and the fees were kept to a minimum. We chose them because we want our money going to small, deserving, trustworthy businesses and they absolutely earned our support and loyalty. Will be using them again for our next purchase.

Great Experienxe

I can’t thank Eric and LendFriend enough for their help. They really took the time to guide us through the complexities of our mortgage and insurance, which took a lot of the stress out of the experience. We felt like we were in great hands from start to finish. We are very happy with the service and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a supportive lending team!"

1099 Borrower that needed a Creative Lender

As a 1099 worker with non-traditional income history, Eric was able to think outside the box and help me find a mortgage for my first home. The company was always problem-solving and the process was seamless. I have already recommended them to several other friends and colleagues. If you are a non-traditional borrower or are looking for someone that can come up with creative solutions, check out LendFriend!

Superb rates

Superb rates. Great communication. Simple process for refinancing. No spamming. Just a simple phone call to assess my mortgage refi parameters followed up by an email requesting info and then solid offers reflecting various scenarios. Process took 30 days approximately. Highly recommend.

I was buying a very competitive home and had to offer a 16 day close to make my offer attractive. I can't believe how helpful LendFriend was in getting me ready for a 16 day close well before the deadline. Their team is insanely good and organized. I'd recommend them to anyone

They are great

LendFriend team knocked it out of the park on getting me the best mortgage for our first house.

I shopped around and nobody could beat the rate they got me. The team was on top of everything for closing.

Best mortgage broker for tech employees

I was searching for a local mortgage broker that had extensive experience working with RSUs. LendFriend not only made the process easy and approachable they helped me find the best terms on a jumbo loan too. Working with Eric, Michael, and Crystal was seamless. They closed my loan in just over 3 weeks. If you’re looking for the best in the business, look no further than LendFriend!

Best Mortgage Broker in Hinsdale

Hands down the best mortgage broker in Hinsdale! I was shopping for the best mortgage rates on a jumbo loan. LendFriend made it easy to shop rates and compare options. Not only that but Eric, Michael, and Kevin made the process seamless. They had us ready to close a week early. Our family and our realtor couldn't have been happier. Highly recommend to anyone looking for the best mortgage lender in the Chicago area.

Two great experiences with LendFriend

I’ve bought two homes and refinanced once, and nothing prepared me for how painless LendFriend made it. Eric is the kind of mortgage broker who texts you back at 9pm and somehow still gets you the lowest mortgage rate you’ve ever seen. I brought him a genuinely complicated file and he treated it like a puzzle he actually wanted to solve. If you’re searching for a home loan and you’re tired of feeling like a number at a big bank, LendFriend is for you. Fair warning though: after working with Eric, every other lender will feel like a step down.

LendFriend helped me secure the best rate for a jumbo loan in Highland Park. Eric and his team were easy to work with. They were available at all times and the communication was sharp throughout. I highly recommend them for anyone shopping for best rates and amazing service in the greater Chicago area.

I had a great experience working with LendFriend Mortgage. As a first time home buyer, there is so much you don’t know. Not only was Eric responsive and patient in answering all of our questions, he took the time to ensure we understood everything clearly. Can’t recommend LendFriend enough.

LendFriend is amazing

Had a great experience with LendFriend Mortgage. Eric was super responsive and walked us through everything — answered every question we had and made sure we actually understood what was happening at each step. The whole process was smooth and honestly pretty stress-free. Would definitely recommend Eric and the LendFriend team.
