Richard Freedkin is a Full-Time Licensed Realtor who has spent over 40 years in the Real Estate Arena where he has acquired considerable in-depth real estate knowledge and expertise.
Within that time-frame, he successfully built, owned and operated a prominent mortgage brokerage firm originating more than 20 million dollars of mortgage loans per month, bought, sold and managed millions of dollars of real estate, served as a general contractor rehabbing both single family homes and apartment buildings, and became an author and sought after national speaker on the subject of selling homes quickly and for the most amount of money. There really isn’t any aspect of Real Estate he doesn’t thoroughly enjoy including helping his clients achieve their goals and dreams.
Richard’s journey began in 1976 while working as a clerk in the mortgage department of a local mid-sized Chicago Savings and Loan Association. Within 10 years’ time, he climbed the ladder of success to senior management, where he spearheaded every facet of the mortgage department’s operations. In 1986, with all the valuable first-hand knowledge and experience he acquired, he decided to establish a mortgage brokerage of his own. Soon, his company became the third largest brokerage across Northern Illinois, originating 20+ million dollars in monthly mortgage loans. Ultimately, this staggering success led to an array of prestigious awards from industry giants like Bank of America and Countrywide Funding.
Twenty-five years into his mortgage career, Richard was catapulted into the real estate investing space, where he successfully purchased, sold, rehabbed, and managed millions of dollars’ worth of real estate. As his accomplishments continued to gain momentum, he was inspired to write his debut book/course, a 260-page “how-to” publication that teaches people all his unique systems on the art of selling homes in record time and for the most amount of money.
Before he knew it, he became the go-to resource and sought-after expert on selling homes and was often invited to speak at esteemed real estate seminars and conventions nationwide.
To this day, his cutting-edge marketing methods and systems have helped thousands of fellow real estate investors and homeowners across the nation achieve success with their properties.
