About Nicole Lambros
Your mortgage is personal, and I understand that.
I easily connect with clients, which gives me the ability to help them through the home buying process without any stress.
I educate my clients and always look out for their best interests. I assist buyers, investors and builders in Chicagoland, Indiana and Florida with their financing needs.
At the start of my career, I developed a passion for helping people reach their goals of homeownership and financial stability. Eighteen years later, I have closed millions of dollars in mortgage loans.
I am hardworking and extremely knowledgeable about the mortgage industry. I believe in being completely honest with my clients. Basically, I truly love helping people. When I get to see a happy face at the closing table, it means the world to me. I am very passionate about my job and just love to make people happy.

There is so many amazing things to say about Nicole and Preferred Rate. Nicole is amazing at what she does, pure talent. She will lead you in the right direction and will be along side you till the loan is finished. Quick, easy, and smooth loan process from start to finish. Hands down, there aren’t many mortgage queens out there better than Nicole. My wife and I were amazed on how good Nicole and the whole team was. She brought so much knowledge into the whole experience and we came out knowing way more about the home buying process because of Nicole. Will definitely work with this team going forward. Highly recommend Nicole if anyone is looking for a smooth home buying process. ... Read More

Recently just closed on a home with preferred rate and I couldn’t be more impressed at how smooth the process was from start to finish! we had a pressured and quick closing date with an FHA loan- and they made it happen so seamlessly! They got us a lower rate than any one else as well. Everyone on the team was so professional and had great communication from start to finish. Highly reccomend them being your lender! ... Read More
