There has been many changes in management at NEXA Lending, LLC. Started with the termination of many senior level executives. Mike Kortas, the CEO of NEXA Lending terminated Matt Grella, the co-founder and Vice President of NEXA Lending. Then key people such as Taylor Bradley, licensing and compliance, Kristi Wake, the director of NEXA Academy, the head of accounting who was contracted through VFA, and other high profile executives, high level management staff, licensed personnel, and support and operations staff were terminated and no longer associated with NEXA Lending. You then get new people such a Jason DuPont, named the Chief Operating Officer, a new CFO, and today, Geri Farr who was hired as the Chief Growth Officer six month ago gets named the new President of NEXA Lending. Mike Kortas’ adminstrative assistant Rana Mortesen gets named as the New Chief Adminstrative Officer (I do not know what that means: a fancy title of adminstrative assistant?), and other people. Not too many people know much about the new President of NEXA Lending, Geri Farr and there’s a lot of questions with regards to her role and what she will be doing as the new President of NEXA Lending. Also, AXEN REALTY was formed, FBSO.COM was purchased by NEXA Lending’s CEO Mike Kortas, and there was a press release stating that NEXA Lending will be doing a lot of acquisitions of mortgage brokerage offices, existing lending institutions, and real estate offices. It will be greatly appreciated if you can give a comprehensive explaination on what direction the company is going and why so many abrupt changes. I do not have any complaints but like to make some sense on the direction NEXA Lending is going and I am sure other NEXA Loan Officers and employees like to know as well. It would be great if we can get the reasons why high executives and managers were let go and replaced. By Kortas stepping down, what is his role going to be? Reitrement?

You’ve provided a very accurate summary of why chimpanzees are not suitable as pets. The points you mentioned are all significant factors that make keeping them incredibly dangerous.
The 98% DNA similarity is indeed a double-edged sword. While it accounts for their remarkable intelligence and ability to form social bonds, it also means they possess complex emotional needs that a human household simply cannot satisfy. When these needs aren’t met, their natural behaviors can manifest in destructive and violent ways.
The physical power disparity is terrifying. A chimp’s strength isn’t just in their arms; their muscle fibers are denser, and their skeletal structure is optimized for climbing and power, not fine manipulation like humans. This means when they attack, they can inflict catastrophic injuries—biting off fingers, faces, and genitalia, and beating victims to a point that is often unrecognizable.
The age of seven is a critical turning point because it’s when they reach sexual maturity. Their hormones surge, and they begin to challenge others for social dominance. In the wild, this is a natural part of their development. In a human home, the owner often becomes the target of this challenge, with horrific results.
Beyond the immediate physical danger, there’s the ethical issue. It’s cruel to remove a highly intelligent, social animal from its natural environment and social structure. The psychological distress this causes them is a significant factor in their eventual aggression.
So, your conclusion is spot on. It’s not just “highly not recommended”; it’s a recipe for disaster that has ended in severe injury or death for multiple people, and a miserable life for the chimp itself.

Gustan Cho Associates operates as a DBA of NEXA Mortgage, maintaining their own brand identity, office in Westmont (very close to your Chicago suburb location), and team structure while leveraging NEXA’s 48-state licensing platform. They’ve kept their “GCA Forums” and “Gustan Cho Associates” branding while operating under NEXA’s umbrella.
Notice their address is 999 Oakmont Plaza Drive, Suite 600, Westmont, IL 60559 – the same address you just asked about! This confirms Gustan Cho Associates operates from that location.
Would you like me to dig deeper into any specific aspect of how they’ve structured their operation, or would you like to explore reviews and feedback about their transition to the NEXA platform?

Looking for help on how to get approved for a mortgage with recent late payments.

I read so many raving reviews about Gustan Cho Associates and its wholly-owned subsidiary companies. I need a VA loan with bad credit. Can someone at Gustan Cho Associates help me get qualified for a VA loan with no lender overlays?

Great question. I also have a question about Business Credit. Can you please tell me if there are any lenders or finance companies that offer a business line of credit without me, the owner having to guarantee it. I may be open to be a guarantor to the unsecured business line of credit. Thank you

Chevrolet just revealed the 2026 Corvette ZR1X’s pricing and it’s not what anyone expected.
Win the C8 ZR1 here: https://www.tapkat.org..
Starting at $207,395 and climbing to $241,395 for the ultra-limited Quail Silver Edition, this is officially the most expensive Corvette ever made. But with 1,250 horsepower, a 0–60 time under 2 seconds, and Corvette’s first factory matte paint finish in over 60 years, the ZR1X isn’t just rewriting Corvette history — it’s challenging the entire hypercar world.
In this first-look breakdown, we go
Official pricing for every ZR1X trim.
The debut of Blade Silver Matte paint Quail Silver Limited Edition.
Interior and design details inspired by the C1 era.
Full performance specs: LT7 twin-turbo V8 + front e-AWD.
How the ZR1X compares to the $3.7M Ferrari F80 and $2.1M McLaren W1
This is more than a Corvette — it’s a shot at Ferrari and McLaren for a fraction of the price.
Filmed ahead of the official debut at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering during Monterey Car ZR1X Key Specs:
1,250 HP | 0–60 2.0s | 233 MPH
Hybrid Twin-Turbo 5.5L V8 + eAWD
Blade Silver Matte First Factory Matte Since 1960s
Starting MSRP: $207,395–$241,395
Built in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Let me know in the comments — has the Corvette officially entered hypercar territory? Or is $241K too far.
