About Kevin Johnson

With more than 25 years of experience in the mortgage industry, I bring deep knowledge and a personal approach to every client I serve. I began my career in the family-owned mortgage business in Columbia, Illinois, which my family successfully operated for over 20 years. That foundation shaped my commitment to service, integrity, and long-term client relationships.


I have extensive experience working with first-time homebuyers, many of whom return to me later when it’s time to upsize, downsize, or refinance. As a Mortgage Loan Officer with New American Funding, I can assist borrowers with a wide range of loan programs, including FHA, VA, and USDA financing.


My goal is always to match each client with the right loan based on their unique needs and long-term goals. Buying or refinancing a home is one of the most important financial decisions you’ll make, and I’m committed to providing clear communication, personalized guidance, and support every step of the way.

"I had such a great experience working with Kevin on my first home purchase. He was kind, patient, and always took the time to explain things in a way that made sense. He made the whole process feel way less stressful, and thanks to his hard work and clear communication, I was even able to close early!!! I felt genuinely supported every step of the way and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Kevin to anyone looking for a loan consultant who truly cares!!!"
