About me

I love what I do! Meeting new people and assisting them with their home financing needs are what make my job as a mortgage loan officer so rewarding. For over twenty years, I have helped thousands of clients secure the right mortgage at a great interest rate, making the dream of home ownership both affordable and enjoyable for them. I work relentlessly on behalf of my clients to ensure a smooth transaction from start to finish. Precision with details and frequent communication with all parties involved in the transaction are the characteristics that define my work as a loan officer. 
 
A 1988 graduate of Wheaton College with a major in Mathematics and a minor in Psychology, I went on to earn a Master’s Degree from Northern Illinois University. After careers in the fields of education and finance, at the suggestion of a good friend I entered the mortgage industry in 2001. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in this business, as I am blessed to work with wonderful people both in and outside the office. 
 
I met my wife Claudia at Wheaton College and we married in 1990. We have 3 wonderful children, twin daughters and a son. In our free time we enjoy relaxing at the beach, traveling overseas, and hosting people in our home for a meal.

Let’s find the right home loan for you

We have loan options to fit every situation, from down payment assistance programs for first-time homebuyers to government-sponsored programs for military families and rural residents or jumbo loans in high-cost markets.

Bridge

Bridge

If you’ve found the perfect new home but still need to sell your current one*, moving up can be easier than you think. You can buy quickly and avoid worrying about a contingent sale. Our short-term bridge loan for the down payment helps you transition seamlessly without missing out on the right home for your family.

Conventional

Conventional

A Conventional loan is a great option if you have an average to high credit score and little debt. This allows you to take advantage of lower interest rates. With these types of loans, you have the option to put 20% down, which eliminates the need for private mortgage insurance (PMI) and saves you money. If you don’t have a large down payment saved up though, don’t worry. We have Conventional loan options for down payments as low as 3%.
VA

VA

If you’re an active member of the military or a veteran, a VA loan can help you save money with no down payment and lower closing costs. VA loans also have lower interest rates, meaning you’ll save money over the life of your loan. A VA loan is a program created and guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) specifically for eligible military veterans, service members and their spouses.

All loans are subject to underwriter approval; terms and conditions may apply. Subject to change without notice.

Doug is the best! My husband and I have financed and refinanced with Doug multiple times over the past 24 years. When rates have changed enough, Doug would reach out to us to take advantage of saving money on our home loan. He has also helped us when we needed cash out of our home from the equity we had earned. Doug takes care of every detail and often completed the loan at our house at the time that worked best for our schedules. We highly recommend Doug Wall for all of your financing needs!
