A Journey of Service, Growth, and Innovation
As we approach our 10-year anniversary, it’s the perfect time to reflect on how it all began, the milestones we’ve achieved, and the exciting future ahead.
Ten years ago, in August 2015, Oak Leaf Community Mortgage was founded with a vision: to build lifelong relationships in a growing community, champion the value of homeownership, and support all things local. From the very beginning, our mission has been deeply rooted in service, growth, and gratitude.
“I still vividly remember standing outside and holding the signed lease for our very first office in Downtown Plainfield,” recalls Joe LaGiglia, Senior Mortgage Originator for Oak Leaf Community Mortgage, powered by North Shore Trust and Savings. “That moment marked the start of something special. It’s incredible to think how much has changed since then…and how much has stayed true to our original values.”
Over the past decade, we’ve experienced countless moments of joy, fulfillment, and growth. Together, our team has helped thousands of families achieve their dream of homeownership, forged lasting partnerships, and nurtured connections that have strengthened the fabric of our community.
This journey took an exciting turn in late 2023 when Oak Leaf Community Mortgage, a leader in personalized mortgage solutions, and North Shore Trust and Savings, a trusted name in financial services for over 100 years, announced a landmark partnership. This alliance has redefined the mortgage landscape by combining Oak Leaf’s innovative approaches with North Shore Trust’s robust financial expertise.
The partnership reflects a shared commitment to integrity, community, and pioneering financial solutions. It has also enhanced groundbreaking programs like the Buy Now/Build Now/Rehab Now, Sell Later Programy pożyczkowe, which are designed to meet the diverse needs of today’s homebuyers. These solutions are tailored to ensure flexibility and convenience, empowering homebuyers to achieve their goals seamlessly.
As we look ahead to our official anniversary in August 2025, we are thrilled to unveil our anniversary logo. This special design celebrates not only the remarkable journey of the past decade but also the bright future we envision. The logo embodies our unwavering dedication to service, our passion for homeownership, and our deep roots in the communities we serve.
Thank you for being an integral part of our story. Your trust, support, and partnership have brought us to this milestone, and we’re excited to continue serving you with innovative solutions and personalized care.
Here’s to 10 years of service, growth, and innovation—and to many more ahead!
