I found Leigh & Tara on Google & this was hands down the best Google find I have ever found in my life! My partner & I run a high volume real estate company & we were on the hunt for a hard money lender we could use for our own purchases. We have worked with them over the last year and it has been one our best lending experiences for several reasons. They are extremely attentive to any questions we have & respond promptly always! Doing business with them feels as if we have known them for years & not just like another transaction. We will continue to not only use Leigh & Tara for our future business, but we feel confident in referring them to our clients as well! Thank you Leigh & Tara for genuinely caring about our success!

I worked with Chicago Bridge loan to explore obtaining a loan for a remodel and they truly provided exceptional service. They have deep expertise in this area and walked me through every step of the process patiently and thoroughly, taking the to understand my specific situation and financial goals. My options were laid out in a clear manner, explaining the pros and cons of each so I could make a fully informed decision. I give them the highest recommendation for anyone trying to see if a bridge loan is right for their situation.

If I could give a 0 I would...Leigh Ballen is an incompetent and ignorant employee. As I witnessed a rather distressing call, he was rude and obviously annoyed. He was very unprofessional throughout the duration of the call. He was making smarta** comments and swearing. I recommend if you go through with this company, request to not work with him. As I have worked hard throughout my career, he has the audacity to say and I quote, "Priscilla doesn't know anything"... If anyone read this, I feel sorry if you get him to look at your property...

Leigh, Tara and Mark at Chicago Bridge Loan have been a hugely helpful resource to my rehab projects and to many of my clients projects. Leigh is brilliant; providing extremely valuable insight regardless of whether he can give a loan. They are fast, efficient, and very reliable. Highest recommendation.

What an amazing resource, and right here in my own neighborhood. Tara and Leigh were wonderful to work with. Responsive, accessible and friendly. They saw my vision and were supportive throughout the project. Could not have done this without them!

Worst initial phone call ever. Mark Wallace answered the phone with a what do you want attitude. I said I wanted information on a loan and he was short and rude while asking questions about my deal to in the end be totally rude and say he can’t help me after I said could you have a little customer service here I’m answering your questions. As I said worst experience ever.

I've worked with Chicago Hard Money and Bridge Loans for approximately seven years. Leigh is great! Working with them is much faster and more responsive than working with traditional banks. At any given time we've had between one and three deals open with CHM&BL. They have common sense when evaluating potential loans. I would strongly recommend them if you're in the market for ongoing rehab financing.

My husband and I flip houses. We were, at first, nervous about not going with a "conventional" bank and loan. Leigh has been nothing but helpful and upfront with all fees and costs. They run this company very efficiently and are always on top of things and making sure all paperwork is done in a timely fashion. We were so pleased with this company that we have now used them for multiple flip homes and plan on doing so in the future as well

I have been working with this lender for over 5 yrs. they are very professional and have a quick turnaround when it comes to loan funding. I have been working in lending for 20 years and have never met an organization that can quickly close as Chicago Brige Loan. They required no application no tax returns. I highly recommend them as your partner in obtaining your financing needs.

Recently Chicago Bridge Loan partnered with our company in a business transaction to refinance our property. Each person that was involved from Chicago Bridge Loan demonstrated the utmost professionalism throughout the process. The manner in which it progressed was always timely and organized so as to create a seamless transition. As was shared with me, this process is for short term funding only so as long as you keep that in mind, it is a valuable experience to work with Chicago Bridge. John K.
