Meet Doug Schukar
Douglas A. Schukar is the President and Chief Executive Officer
of USA Mortgage. Born in St. Louis in 1964, Doug supervises over
30 Loan Officers and their supporting cast of Processors and
Closers. In addition, he never stops originating loans, as he
feels that is the only way to keep a finger on the proverbial
pulse of customer service. His personal loan production during
his career has surpassed the $1 Billion level.
A graduate of Vanderbilt University, Doug has been in mortgage
banking since 1988 and has been featured in national
publications for his industry contributions. His primary goal is
to give unsurpassed service to his homebuyers while providing
the mortgage that best meets their individual needs.
Sixty-eight employees with a combined seven centuries of experience make up USA Mortgage's
staff of loan officers and the supporting cast of processors, underwriters and closers.
These staff members are knowledgeable, loyal and determined to provide the best customer
service possible. Its not just about great products and low interest rates, our people make
the difference. The staff knows that you have a lot of options when it comes time to getting
a home loan. If we are not constantly focused on clear communication and ongoing follow-up
with each customer, then we have failed.
We view our customers as "customers for life". The relationship does not end at the closing
table, as is the case with most lenders; it continues over time through future follow-up
calls, e-mails and letters about things such as market updates and refinancing opportunities.
USA-Mortgage.com is designed to help you, the Borrower, gain information 24 hours a day,

Each year the St. Louis Business Journal ranks USA Mortgage as one of the largest mortgage
lenders in the St. Louis Metropolitan area. There are five primary reasons for
USA Mortgages' ongoing success and continued growth: having complete control over every
loan, being a mortgage banker who can also act as a broker, possessing the ability to
close loans in all 50 states, creating a network of business-to-business mortgage solutions
for other industry related companies, and last, but by no means least, employing the right
people.
Having complete control over every loan doesn't just mean following through with the
paperwork and making sure the clients get all their questions answered. Having a product
that suits everyone's needs is imperative. Complete control, however, just begins with
product variety. Equally important is having in-house operations such as processing,
underwriting, closing and funding. Performing all aspects of a loan under one roof assures
that the company will never miss a loan commitment date or a closing. By nature,
the industry will always have certain obstacles to get a borrower's loan closed; having
complete control affords USA Mortgage the ability to adjust on the spot.
USA Mortgage uses its own money to fund its loans, thus we are regarded as a mortgage
banker. The firm, however, never will relinquish its ability to act as a broker if that
better serves the client.
Another benefit USA Mortgage can provide to its clients is the ability to close loans in
all 50 states. Many of our clients purchase second homes in the mountains or at the beach.
It is an added benefit to be able to use a well-established, local lender rather than
having to search for a lender in an unfamiliar area.
Another unique attribute of USA Mortgage is our ability to create business-to-business
partnerships. Simply put, this allows industry related companies such as real estate
firms, financial planners, banks and credit unions the opportunity to better serve their
customers by providing mortgage services without ever having to create a mortgage company.
If you got to our site as a result of this, please feel at ease. You are in good hands.
We know you are vital to their business, and they know our company can be trusted to handle
all of your mortgage needs and not jeopardize your existing relationship.
Douglas A. Schukar is the owner,
President and CEO of the company. He continues to originate loans - a practice that is
not necessarily consistent throughout the industry. It is nearly impossible for the
principal of a mortgage company to keep his/her finger on the pulse of customer service
without actually originating business. By being involved in the day-to-day business along
with the other loan officers, Doug is better able to identify areas of improvement and
growth, which will ultimately benefit the end user.
In September 2001, the USA Mortgage headquarters moved to a new location to better
serve the local community. The address is:
USA Mortgage
12140 Woodcrest Executive Drive, Suite 150
St. Louis, MO 63141
