CHUCK UTLAK
CHUCK UTLAK, FOUNDER (NMLS# 178576)
Chuck Utlak is the founder of Real Estate Resource Home Loans. Eight years ago after being in the mortgage business for four years I decided to open up a mortgage company that focused on service and it’s customers. I saw an opportunity to help people in an industry with no service. At Real Estate Resource Home Loans we treat people the way we would like to be treated. I learned this rule years ago at my first place of employment. With this rule I can satisfy all my customers beyond their expectations. In order to avoid typical banker attitudes and bad practices we hire individuals that have customer service backgrounds and train them the proper way to structure loans so we can close loans where others can’t. We have the most competitive rates and programs that your typical bank wishes they had. Feel free to contact me anytime so I can show you how I will save you money. Call me direct at 708-364-5133 or email me at cutlak@rrhomeloans.com
