GROW YOUR NETWORK, CLIENT BASE, AND BUSINESS BY BECOMING A WHOLESALE MORTGAGE BROKER OR LOAN ORIGINATOR.

Entrepreneurship isn’t just about being the boss. Granted, managing the bottom line requires some focus, but there’s more to it than that. Entrepreneurs can innovate, problem-solve, and if they’re successful, raise the standard of living in their community. And that’s exactly what Brian has done as an independent mortgage broker and small business owner in Downer’s Grove, Illinois.

Today, Bryan is the Vice President of a successful mortgage brokerage. He’s a rising star in the mortgage industry, and a quick Google search will show the evidence of his positive impact on the various communities he serves. His path to independence started with a close friend, a phone call, and the decision to take the leap.

Pursuing a New Opportunity

General Manager, Adjunct Professor, Development Director, these are just a few of the roles Bryan has played throughout his career.  Each one requiring all the networking, team-building, and leadership skills he’s worked tirelessly to hone. When a close friend from college (who co-owned a mortgage business) called to pitch a new opportunity, he jumped at the chance.

“I’ve never looked back. I love it,” says Bryan.

Using Technology to Serve the Community

Each stop on Bryan’s career path prepared him to seize an entrepreneurial role in the mortgage industry, and relying on the experience and training of mortgage veterans allowed him to hit the ground running.

Operating as both Vice President of Residential lending and a wholesale mortgage broker for his company, he strives to provide an exceptional home-buying experience for his clients.

“We have a nice process that combines technology and a personal touch to close loans quickly and efficiently, often within 21 days,” says Bryan.

Merging modern mortgage tech with his genuine enthusiasm has proven to be a recipe for continued success.

A whopping 85% of his clients are referrals from his network, past clients, and realtor partners. 

In other words, Bryan puts in the work upfront and lets his growing reputation generate more business on the back end.

Making a Greater Impact  

While delighted clients are the lifeblood of a successful entrepreneur, maintaining business partnerships is a pivotal factor as well. Bryan balances both goals as a go-to mortgage broker in his community, which keeps his realtor partners singing his praises.

“Recently several realtors have given me their own personal loans on top of referrals. That’s an amazing compliment,” he says. “They are happy with my work ethic and the fact that I do my job well, which takes stress off of them.”

Bryan helps buyers in Illinois, Indiana, and Florida accomplish their dreams of homeownership, and he collaborates with many businesses to make it happen. This collaboration makes him a key cog in their success — not just his own — and it’s a responsibility he takes pride in.    

”I can honestly say how much I love helping people get homes… I know at the end of the day, if I don’t get the job done, no one gets a home and no one gets paid. I want to make sure that all of our partners — from the title companies to the insurance agents to our realtors are all happy with the process that we provide,” says Bryan.

The leap he took to become a mortgage broker has paid huge dividends for his family, business, partners, and community. With his life-long commitment to giving back, he wouldn’t have it any other way.
