The Mecum Colucci Group
Wintrust Mortgage

James Colucci and Ryan Mecum of Wintrust Mortgage are well known for their tireless dedication to communication and follow up, as evidenced by their 8 a.m to 8 p.m. availability seven days a week. This absolute devotion to customer service has been crucial to their success.

“One of our mantras is, if you help enough people, you are bound to be successful,” they say. “We feel fulfilled when we save our clients money and secure their financial futures.”

Their extensive knowledge of assessing condo projects is another one of the main attributes that differentiates them from their competitors. They are relied upon by many of the top-producing Realtors in Chicago for immediate evaluations.

They also have a thorough understanding of lending for self-employed borrowers. They are well-known for working with large business owners with complex incomes that many of their peers may consider too challenging.

The real key to their success, though, lies in the trust they develop with their partners and clients. The pair’s goal is to establish trust that leads to long-lasting relationships with everyone they do business with. It appears to be working, as their business is 100 percent referral-based and flourishing.

“We are fully dedicated to continuing to expand and perfect our platform for supporting our agent and developer partners,” they say. “We are very excited about the upswing in Chicago’s thriving real estate market.”
