Meet the Manager

Amir S.

Manager

In 2003, I was working part time for my father & completing my final year at DePaul University in Chicago, anxious about my future and career.

It was in my Real Estate Finance class that a friend & classmate strongly encouraged me to enter the mortgage industry. After asking for my father’s opinion, he simply said, «Amir: you’re young & living at home without any financial pressures & your mom provides dinner for you every night. I immigrated here at the age of 30 with you and your mom, left my entire family & started as a shoe salesman making $ 3.75 an hour. This a great country. Work hard, be patient & build a great reputation for yourself, everything will work out.»

In 2006, I launched American Street Mortgage Company, near downtown Chicago, in the onset of the Great Recession. Our growth was slow, steady and successful.

After five tremendous years of leading American Street we decided as a team to join Perl Mortgage, another highly reputable mortgage banking firm in Chicago.
