About

Kathleen Gentile grew up in the northwestern suburbs of Chicago where she spent weekends and summers working at her parent’s successful real estate firm. After receiving a Bachelor’s degree from Illinois State University, she began her career in the mortgage industry as a loan analyst, and spent three years as an assistant to the top producing mortgage banker in Chicago before becoming a Mortgage Banker.

Kathleen has more than two decades of experience in mortgage lending. She knows the importance of understanding the real estate market for her clients, and keeps her finger on the pulse of Chicago’s vibrant and ever changing market. Kathleen’s vast experience and ability to assess the needs of her clients, their real estate agents and attorneys aids her in her success of helping her clients secure homeownership. Her unfailing enthusiasm, integrity and positive attitude, combined with technical expertise and industry knowledge make Kathleen indispensable to her customers and referral sources, and the bank.

Kathleen is a twenty-five-year resident of Chicago’s Ukrainian Village. When not meeting with customers, she and her husband like to take advantage of Chicago’s diverse theaters, music venues and restaurants.

Kathleen Gentile was one of the best people I have had the pleasure of working with. She is incredibly professional, communicative, and helpful. She was always available to talk and explained very complex topics in a concise, digestible way. She went above and beyond to get us closed in 21 days from the offer and even worked around our schedule for communication while we were out of the country. I cannot speak more highly of her or our experience working with her. We have already recommended Kathleen to friends who are in the process of looking for a home and will continue to do so.

Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into my recent mortgage of the Hiawassee home in GA. Mike and I are thrilled to have this home. I have to say, this was one of the smoothest transactions and I am so grateful for you and your team’s support. I have worked with Kathleen Gentile on many mortgage transactions since 2011. I was referred to Kathleen through a good friend and The Federal Savings Bank financed my home mortgage. In 2014, I obtained a second mortgage for home improvements, 2015 refinanced, and in 2016 bought a 2nd home through The Federal Savings Bank. In September 2020 I purchased a 3rd home. The Federal Savings Bank is where I do all my major life transactions because of Kathleen Gentile and The Federal Savings Bank team. I am a repeated customer because Kathleen is professional, she knows the business well and I do not stress out. I may do my day to day banking elsewhere, but my major life transactions are all done through The Federal Savings Bank. I am always very satisfied with the services The Federal Savings Bank team provides. Kathleen is an outstanding trusted mortgage broker during important life transactions. I do not stress out knowing she and her team are providing these services and supporting the transaction. I am always kept informed every step of the way and if I have any questions, day or night, even on weekends, Kathleen is responding. I would refer Kathleen because she is honest and tells it like it is. The Federal Savings Bank team is awesome!
