Matthew McGinnis

I was born and raised in Chicago, IL, and continue to live in the city with my beautiful wife Laura. I am the proud son of a Chicago Fireman and loving mother. My city roots stick with me to this day as most of my clients are teachers, union employees, city workers and small business owners. I truly love what I do and am very thankful for each and every client who has entrusted me with their loan over the years.

My competitive nature and interest in working with others to accomplish a goal stemmed from my sports background growing up. I was lucky enough to compete at the collegiate level and played football at Saint Xavier University. After graduating from SXU my business career started in Commercial Banking at JPMorgan Chase. It was there that I developed a strong credit background that I continue to use today to help deliver the best service to my clients. Many loan officers in the industry don't have formal credit training so this is an attribute that truly separates me from the average mortgage professional. I joined MEM in 2011 as the 8th employee and have seen a small business grow into a leading mortgage provider in the industry. 

Aside from being an A+ rated business we were recently named to the INC. 5000 America's Fastest Growing Companies!!

I am thankful to work for two owners who truly care about their clients and employees.

As branch manager, I am dedicated to serving the home financing needs of you, my client. Call me today to refinance your existing mortgage, get information about buying a home or to simply get my advice on anything mortgage related.
