About Xanadu

Built by Lenders, Trusted by Families

Xanadu Home Loans is a modern mortgage brokerage headquartered in Northbrook, Illinois. We combine institutional-grade underwriting with a boutique, advisory-first approach — so every borrower gets a strategy, not just a rate.

Founded on the belief that home financing should be clear, fast, and human, Xanadu serves buyers, refinancers, and investors across Illinois and 14 additional states. Our advisors average 11 years in mortgage banking and personally guide each file from first call to closing table.

We are an independent brokerage — which means we are not tied to a single bank's rate sheet. We shop your scenario across a curated network of wholesale lenders to match you with the program that actually fits.

Client Stories

Families We've Helped Move Forward

"
We were three weeks from losing our rate lock at another lender. Xanadu restructured our file, got us a better program, and we closed in 19 days. Communication was flawless.
Marcus & Elena R. Wilmette, IL · Purchase
"
As a self-employed consultant, I'd been declined twice. Xanadu used a bank-statement program and got me approved at a rate I didn't think was possible.
Priya N. Evanston, IL · Refinance
"
We used a HELOC through Xanadu to fund a kitchen renovation without touching our 3.1% first mortgage. The whole thing was paperless.
The Dhaliwals Northbrook, IL · HELOC
"
I've bought four investment properties through Xanadu. Their DSCR modeling is the sharpest I've worked with — they actually understand cash flow.

Questions

Frequently Asked

How long does pre-approval take?

Most pre-approvals are issued within 38 business hours of receiving your completed application and supporting documents. Complex income scenarios may take 2–3 business days.

Do you charge an application fee?

No. We do not charge an application fee, rate-lock fee, or upfront processing fee. All costs are itemized on your Loan Estimate and paid at closing.

Which states are you licensed in?

We are licensed in Illinois and 14 additional states. Contact us to confirm coverage for your specific property location.

What credit score do I need?

Conventional loans generally require a 620 minimum; FHA loans 580; VA loans 580. We also offer non-QM programs for scores as low as 550 with compensating factors.

Can I get a loan if I'm self-employed?

Yes. We offer bank-statement, P&L-only, and asset-depletion programs designed specifically for self-employed borrowers whose tax returns understate true income.

How much house can I afford?

A common guideline is that your total housing payment should not exceed 28–31% of gross monthly income. We'll run a full affordability model against your actual debts and goals during the discovery call.

Do you offer VA and FHA loans?

Yes. We are an approved FHA and VA lender and work extensively with veteran and first-time buyer programs including Illinois IHDA grants.
