Renata is a Mortgage Advisor with more than 23 years of experience.
My name is Renata Chrobak-Pyrek and I’m the Branch Manager of Fairway Independent Mortgage Corp at Branch 6340 located in Palos Heights, IL. I have been in the mortgage industry and a branch manager since the age of 23. I was growing my team by myself and had no partners and was not a franchisee at that time. While growing up I always knew I wanted to own my own business, but I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to do so I was stumbling through and figuring it out as I went. After graduating college with a degree in accounting that I knew wasn’t an interest of mine, I couldn’t bring myself to any accounting position and started at a mortgage company at age 22 as a loan originator. After 9 months, I knew I needed to open my own branch and growing a team of my own! This truly has been a life-long dream in the making. Being in my 40s now, I have an incredible, multi-cultural team of Loan Officers in my office. One of my greatest accomplishments is helping my team help clients achieve the American dream of homeownership for the past 23 years. Coming from Poland when I was 15, speaking no English, to owning my own business making 6-7 figures per year- the level of gratitude I feel is indescribable. Self-improvement has been instrumental to my success, from seminars, books and joining the Core Training Program in 2015, I have grown from an insecure young woman, unsure of herself and those around her, to a mentor, coach and confident leader. My mission now is to inspire and empower as much as possible, one person at a time. I’m pursuing my dreams while becoming a version of myself that I am proud of, and I want to help as many people as possible to do the same!
