Jon Platz

About Us:

We (Myself and Stacey my wife and assistant) love the real estate and mortgage industry. My mother has been a successful realtor for over 35 years and from her I have learned exceptional customer service. I have been a loan officer with Countrywide Home Loans for over 10 years. The Platz team is consistently top ranked for customer service and production for the #1 home loan lender in America. Being a direct lender allows us to offer competitive rates & closing costs and we approve your loan up front so you will have no surprises at the closing table. Since Countrywide rarely sells their loans, we will provide top-tier customer service before AND after the loan closes.

I grew up in Lawrence, Kansas, attended Wichita State University, but typically just cheer for the underdog. Stacey grew up in Independence, Kansas and attended K-State for her undergrad then received her physical therapy degree from KU medical school. She says she cheers for K-State but generally falls asleep by half-time. Stacey worked as a physical therapist specializing in sports care and spine until she came to work with me in 2004. Stacey and I visit Lawrence every Sunday to spend time with my family. Married for 8 years, Stacey and I have 2 "kids", Charlie and Peanut Platz, miniature pinschers.

My other love is golf. I currently play the State Line Tour and was named Kansas City Player of the year in 2006. Stacey and I play together at least once per week.

Areas of Expertise

From first time home buying to retirement living, my team handles it all. We underwrite and process the loans in my office to ensure excellent customer service and timely/successful closings. I spend a lot of time providing realtor loan classes to help them understand the process to better help their customers.

Testimonials

We love the Platz Team! We have worked together for the past 7 years and have referred our clients to them both in new construction and in our resale business. They have never let us down. If they tell us that the Buyer is qualified, we can proceed with confidence that our contract will close. Jon and his team are trustworthy and conduct their business with the highest of integrity. We refer our clients with confidence that they will recieve the same high level of service that we give to them. They are the only lender that we use for ourselves and our family. Our hats are off to this outstanding team and their high standards.

You all came through with flying colors for my latest client. We ran into some difficulties with another Mortgage broker, whom I feel really dropped the ball. You were instrumental in saving the deal, with your quick action, and to top it all off, at the last minute was able to get my client a much better rate. I would highly recommend your team to any one of my clients that want a smooth transaction.

Sincerely, Roderick Pittman Keller Williams Realty Legacy Partners Inc.

have been using Jon and his team for over 2 years. In that time we have done
close to a hundred transactions together and all of our closings have gone
smoothly. Countywide has been great at handling any of the "little bumps on
the road" that sometimes come with buying a home and that is why I'll be using
them for the next hundred or so transactions.

John Miramontes, Coldwell Banker Advantage

Just wanted to compliment you on the great job that Jason did in keeping a very difficult buyer of mine on target. My buyer was absolutely sure that he could get a better rate and less closing costs by shopping around.
In the end he complimented both Jason and me saying that we really had the best deal going. It is always a pleasure working with both you and Jason.
