About Me: Zachary Schrode, Loan Officer
Why I Love My Job.
I am a people person. I have always been great at building relationships - whether in business or friendships. The mortgage industry allows me a platform to connect with all types of people who I am thankful to work with every day. I feel like after I work with a client or real estate agent I always make a new friend or two along the way.
Aside from building relationships, I love the problem solving aspects of the mortgage industry and finding my clients the best possible terms for their circumstances - which are always unique. Personal finance is NEVER a one-size fits all solution and as a mortgage broker I can shop several different lenders and products for my clients to find the perfect fit. That is why I love what I do!
About me.
I grew up in Grosse Pointe, Michigan. I studied at Western Michigan University - Row the Boat! I am the proud “fun” uncle of one niece and one nephew who I love to spend time with on the weekends along with my extended family and friends.
How I fell into mortgages.
I worked at PNC bank throughout college which exposed me to the finance industry and I quickly landed my first post-graduate job with Quicken Loans (now Rocket Mortgage) in Detroit for two years. I noticed a momentum shift in the mortgage industry from the “retail” channel to the “broker” channel and joined United Wholesale Mortgage as an account executive for four years. I am grateful for both of these opportunities which have lead me to work with Katherine at Iris Mortgage LLC as a loan officer again! This time it is different, I truly feel like I am making a difference because I am more connected to the clients I serve and know that I am connecting them with best deal possible through this channel.
Why I do what I do.
I have been in the mortgage industry for a long time, I believe all of my experiences have molded me into the professional I am today. I love learning about new products and ways to serve my clients. I think Iris Mortgage and the broker platform is the perfect way for me to best serve my clients and give them a high level product and experience they will remember!
