About Preferred Rate | Grayslake Illinois

Let’s get to know each other

Your mortgage is personal, and we understand that.
We figure it‘s time you got to know us a little bit, too.

Our Story

Our core team has been together since 2012. Our operations team offers a level of speed and efficiency achievable only through the combination of people who know and respect each other very well.
We started like a lot of great ventures — an experienced team with stunning talent, full commitment, drive and passion, and a mission to serve our customers with integrity.

We have been in the industry long enough to have lived through the mortgage meltdown, and we understand first-hand how quickly things can change.

We learned what it takes to stay focused on the right mission, to serve our customers beyond expectation, to work together tirelessly, to improve our systems and keep pushing for innovation.

We’re here to stay, and our commitment is stronger than ever.

Bryan is awesome! What we thought would just be a meeting about what kind of house we can afford, turned into and hour and half meeting that singlehandedly changed my wife and my entire financial situation. Bryan took the time to educate us and gave us a clear plan to pay off our debts and in a few short months we were able to buy our dream home. What is most important is that I never felt like Bryan was just pushing us because he wanted us to close on any house. We felt like friends and he was giving us genuine advice. He even went above and beyond and gave us tips for financial security for the future. He had us super prepared for the entire closing process and was readily available for all of our questions, no matter when we texted or called him.
