About Chris Puleo
Your mortgage is personal, and I understand that. That's why you can reach me day, night, or weekend. With over two decades of loan-origination experience and 15 years in sales management, I now serve as a Producing Partnership Branch Manager with Rate. My mission has always been the same: to deliver prompt, reliable mortgage guidance and to be a trusted leader in the industry. At Rate, we know that purchasing a home is one of the biggest financial decisions most people will ever make. Because of that, we've built our process around providing honest advice and dependable support—helping homeowners achieve both their short- and long-term financial goals. My team at The Puleo Group brings more than 100 years of combined expertise across sales, product development, agent relationships, marketing, and loan origination. We specialize in a full range of products, including Conventional, FHA, VA, Jumbo (non-conforming), Down Payment Assistance, and Non-QM loans. I'm licensed in over 30 states and manage offices in Roselle, IL and Fort Myers, FL. Call, email, or message me anytime with questions about your home-lending needs or to schedule an appointment. I'm here to help. *Applicant subject to credit and underwriting approval. Restrictions apply.
