About

Brandon Poulos - I have been in the mortgage industry for 17 years and was one of the original co-founders of Neighborhood Loans. I have a passion for knowledge, and I am the kind of person who will never stop learning. I believe that you must always be learning and adapting with the ever-changing mortgage industry to be able to provide the best financial consulting. One of my biggest strengths is my vast amount of product and industry knowledge. The industry has changed 10-fold in the last couple of years and has a completely different process then it did when I first started in the business. My greatest characteristic trait is having the ability to develop a trustworthy presence right from the beginning with my borrowers. My clients often earn complete faith in my knowledge and ability to deliver excellent service. They also appreciate my upfront and honest nature. I often use creativity when approaching a borrower's loan scenario. I take the time to weigh out all possibilities and suggest the best way to reach the client's goal. I have assisted many clients through closing who have been turned down elsewhere. What excites me most is my ability to accomplish my client's goals and dreams of homeownership.

Gio Salinas - With over 10 years of experience in banking and mortgage lending, I am dedicated to helping borrowers secure the best financial solutions for their unique goals. After starting my career at College of DuPage and expanding my presence throughout the Fox Valley area, I transitioned into a Mortgage Loan Officer role where I’ve spent the past decade crafting tailored mortgage plans for countless clients. I take pride in guiding each borrower through the homebuying process, ensuring they feel informed and confident every step of the way. My deep knowledge of mortgage programs, problem-solving abilities, and unwavering commitment to customer service set me apart in the industry. I’m passionate about educating my community on making sound financial decisions, hosting seminars, and empowering others to make one of life’s most important investments. When I’m not working, you’ll find me watching football and enjoying time with family in the Chicagoland area.
