Just when you thought it wasn't going to happen again....Central States Mortgage Closes their doors

Times were pretty bad early last year when banks and loan companies were closing their doors.  Things have quieted down quite a bit, so imagine the surprise when the doors were closed on a very large institution here in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin.  220 people were employed there.

What a nightmare - people ready to close on their home and no loan!!

Central States Mortgage Company on Monday morning - the front doors were locked and a sign on the front door stating: Central States Mortgage has suspended operations.  Employees and customers alike were turned away.

Central States funded loans for many midwest area credit unions.  Anyone with a pending loan at a credit union or Central States should check into their status right away.  Not all area credit unions are affected, but many are.   

The story as reported by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel can be seen here.

From my understanding, a credit union in Illinois demanded payment of $33 Million in loans - with that Central States closed their doors.  Things are uncertain at this time, as to whether or not Central States will reopen. 

If you would like help in finding a good source for your mortgage loan, please contact me.  I can help.
