Home Buying

The bipartisan legislation, which aims to curb abusive spam calls to prospective homebuyers was signed into law by President Trump. Effective March 2026.

Here’s a tour of our United Home Loans office in Western Springs, Illinois. UHL opened it’s doors in 2002. I feel both blessed and proud to be a part of the company for 21 of those 23 years. We continue to grow, now with offices in Chicago and Nashville. If you’re ever out in the burbs, feel free to stop by and say hi!

Today Chris shows you how much money you can expect to pay over the life of the loan, and provides tips to pay less.
