About Jackie

Hi, I'm Jackie Shay. I began my career in the mortgage industry in 2014, assisting with the processing of individual loan files while working with my husband, Anthony Ranft. Now based in our Chicago, IL branch, I take pride in providing my clients with the best customer experience possible. My business includes a wide range of clients and products, from purchase transactions to new construction, VA, FHA, and first-time homebuyers.

As part of America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender, I’m committed to improving the mortgage experience for all my clients, referral sources, and teams I work with. Whether you're buying your first home or refinancing, I'm here to address any questions or concerns immediately. Outside of work, I enjoy taking local woodshop classes, cooking, and experimenting with food. I’m passionate about art and have taught with organizations like Around the Coyote and After School Matters.

A homeowner with a child on his lap calculating whether to buy a new home or refinance his home loan

Owning a home is fun and fulfilling!

What’s not to love about having a space that is entirely yours? You can paint your bathroom fuchsia, have hardwood in the master, put up a wild Mosaic in the kitchen, install a smart thermostat, you name it. After all, it’s your home!

Equally enjoyable are the other personal and financial advantages of being a homeowner: security and stability, equity and wealth building, and more! I’m here to help you get the most from your home financing — whether you’re buying your first home, moving up or downsizing to match your lifestyle, or refinancing your current mortgage.

Helping your home financing process go smoothly.
