About me

Hi, I'm Brian Cisna, a mortgage professional with over 20 years of experience helping families achieve homeownership. I recently moved back to Springfield, Illinois, where my wife, son, and I are excited to call home again.
 
I started my lending career in 2000 after swimming for the University of Texas, and over the years I've learned that the best part of this business isn't the numbers - it's the people. My passion is helping first-time homebuyers understand the process, feel confident in their decisions, and find the loan that truly fits their goals.
 
While my branch is based in Texas, I proudly serve clients in Illinois. Iowa, and Texas, offering personalized guidance every step of the way.
 
If you're looking for a local Springfield mortgage lender who values education, communication, and community - I'd love to connect.

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.
