About Thompson Kane & Company
In 2010, Brad Kane and John Thompson began discussions about the vacuum created by mass failures in the mortgage industry. Brad brought his sterling reputation and over a decade of experience as an insider in mortgage finance; John brought his history of strong performance and deep knowledge of the fixed income and equity investment industry. The result is Thompson Kane & Company, LLC, a newly formed mortgage banking company that is free of all legacy issues from the mortgage debacle.
The philosophy of Thompson Kane is to bring service back into financial services. We will meet with you during or after normal working hours, including nights and weekends; we will meet at your location (or ours, depending upon your preference) to help assemble required documents; we will close your loan at the location of your choice, not ours. You can login to our website to check the status of your loan or call your loan officer anytime. With local underwriting, we will close loans quickly and on time. And finally, given our lack of legacy issues and wonderful computer systems, we can pass along the savings to you through very competitive rates and fees.
Please call either Brad or John anytime! We look forward to working with you!
