Manny Rodriguez

Manny Rodriguez began his mortgage career in 2021, though the industry wasn’t originally on his radar—until life had other plans. A chance encounter at a local boxing gym with a successful mortgage professional led him to explore the field, and he quickly realized his passion for helping people achieve homeownership. Starting in business development for a local lender, Manny fell in love with the mortgage industry, obtained his license, and trained under a highly successful team to master the different facets of the business. His motivation runs deeper than just closing loans. Having witnessed firsthand how the 2008 housing crisis impacted his own family, Manny is driven every day to ensure his clients receive honest, fair, and transparent guidance. “To me, my clients are like family. I make sure they are supported every step of the way, with every scenario handled with honesty and care.” As a first-generation Mexican American, Manny learned the value of hard work at an early age, helping his mother deliver newspapers from the time he was just six years old. He understands that buying a home can be an overwhelming process, which is why he prioritizes education—ensuring his clients feel empowered and confident in their homebuying decisions. When he’s not helping clients, you’ll likely find Manny at a boxing gym, either training himself or coaching young fighters at Gregory Boxing Lombard. A dedicated boxing enthusiast, he’s a familiar face at amateur shows across Chicagoland. Fluent in English and Spanish, and conversational in Italian, Manny is committed to serving a diverse range of clients with clear communication and expert guidance. Manny is Tri Lingual completely fluent in English and Spanish and partially fluent in Italian.
