In his prior career, Michael successfully facilitated some of the most intricate and complex spinal and orthopedic surgeries with some of the top surgeons in the Chicagoland area. His experiences in navigating life-altering surgeries, building relationships with surgeons and hospital staff and finding a way to achieve the best outcomes for his patients enabled him to consistently rank as a top performer. He brings that same tenacity, attention to detail and dedication to every home financing decision. "My experience allows me to bring discipline and best-practices from the medical world to help provide individual and tailored service to my clients in the financial world."

I enjoy helping people secure the mortgage financing that best meets their needs to achieve their down payment and their monthly payment goals, with the most competitive interest rates and loan programs.

Even before a buyer makes an offer on a home, I can provide a financial analysis that details the monthly payment, down payment and closing costs.

5 star reviews Debra Farley from Naples, FL | worked with Adam Karno and team Zillow Verified Contact Well, I have to say this was an experience! John was so nice. Thought I was going to have to sell my soul, but got a mortgage first! Honestly, if you do your due dilligence, it's all worth it. John was great. I am so grateful. Don't hesitate to call. Thank you John Loan Status Closed Jan 2023 Loan Type Purchase Interest Rate As expected First time homebuyer with special circumstances James Gajewski from Carpentersville, IL | worked with JOHN KOHUT As a person with disabilities who is slowly declining cognitively, I could not be happier with the service that John has provided to me throughout this entire process. John was available to me at anytime no matter the day and he always answered his phone. If I needed a rush preapproval letter on a Sunday, John would be sure that I had one for my showing without hesitation. Due to my disability, my memory is starting to wane and to assist with that John would talk things through with me slowly and he probably had to explain the same concepts to me multiple times. John never gave me any grief for having to go over the same concepts multiple times and I appreciate that as I do not have control over my cognitive decline. John has shown me nothing but respect throughout this whole process and I will do what I can to steer more business his way if anyone ever inquires on purchasing a property. Having someone on your team as knowledgeable and respectful as John is a godsend and I am thankful I had to opportunity to work with him. Also, as my property didn't appraise out, John worked behind the scenes with his processing manager, Mary Jones, to have my tax amounts applied right away rather than requiring me to come up with more money at closing. Without that quick wit and determination to get the deal done for me, I am not confident that things would've worked out as they are. Thanks for all that you've done for me John! I appreciate everything that you've done. Loan Status Closed Loan Type Purchase Interest Rate As expected Close on time Yes... Read More
