Great experience with Rich and Iwona. They helped with a very complicated loan when another loan broker couldn't get it approved. This is the place to turn to if you have self-employment income. Can't recommend Rich and his team enough!

Rich and his team, specifically Iwona, offer top-tier service from pre-qualification to close. In real estate, unexpected hurdles inevitably pop up, but Rich and his team work overtime to find quick solutions and ensure the process is as stress-free as can be. Rich makes himself readily available for any and all questions. He is on standby throughout the process which brings peace of mind, reminding you that you're not in the process alone. They are friendly, highly responsive, and truly invested in helping their clients succeed. Highly recommend

I recently completed a refinance transaction with Richard Pikula and his team at MidAmerica Bancorp, and I could not be more pleased with the experience. From the initial consultation through closing, Richard and his team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise, and dedication to customer service. Communication was clear, timely, and transparent throughout the entire process. Every question was answered thoroughly, and I always felt informed and confident in each step of the refinance. Richard's knowledge of the lending industry, attention to detail, and commitment to finding the best solution for my financial needs were evident from start to finish. What truly distinguished this team was their responsiveness, efficiency, and genuine commitment to ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience. They handled every aspect of the transaction with integrity and professionalism, making what can often be a complex process remarkably straightforward. I highly recommend Richard Pikula and the entire MidAmerica Bancorp team to anyone seeking mortgage or refinancing services. Their expertise, customer-focused approach, and outstanding service exceeded my expectations, and I look forward to working with them again in the future. Thank you, Richard and team, for delivering such an exceptional experience. Your dedication and professionalism are greatly appreciated.
