PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
Brian Salomon
https://crosscountrymortgage.com/Brian-Salomon/
A former stock options trader working on the floor of the Chicago Board Options Exchange, I transitioned to mortgages in the early 2000s. My love of problem-solving and numbers made this change successful, allowing me to use these skills to help people finance their homes.
I’ve recently expanded my business nationally, growing my client base outside of Illinois to include national lending, in-house lines of credit, and portfolio lending. It feels great to carry a wide variety of loans, have a reputation for quick responses and transparency, and consistently make the process easy for every client.
I have been ranked among the top 1% of mortgage lenders by Mortgage Executive Magazine for over a decade, won President’s Club and Chairman Elite awards, and have been recognized by Chicago Magazine’s Five Star Professional Award for the last six years. Most importantly, I have a long list of families-turned-friends whose homeownership dreams have been made a reality thanks to my team. I look forward to doing the same for you as well!
Spending time outside of work with my family is my greatest joy. I have been married for 15 years to my wife Lisa and together we have three children along with two golden retrievers.
