Our History

About Us

Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation was founded in 1996 by Steve Jacobson. Just five years after opening its doors, Fairway reached the $1 billion funded mark. With a strong focus on purchase business, we continue to grow each year, funding $17.5 billion in 2016.

Customer service is a way of life at Fairway. Not only are we dedicated to finding the best rates for our customers, we also offer some of the fastest turn times in the industry. Our goal is to act as your trusted advisor, providing highly personalized service and guiding you through every step of the loan process. It’s all designed to exceed your expectations, guarantee your satisfaction, and earn your trust.

Fairway is dedicated to the highest level of service, demonstrated through consistent, informative communication with clients and their real estate partners. Our main priority is ensuring that the trust we are given is backed by accurate, on-time paperwork delivered with the best technology available. We strive to streamline the mortgage process for our clients and make it stress free for all parties involved.

Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation is licensed in all 50 states and has headquarters in Madison, WI, and Carrollton, TX.

At Fairway, we strongly believe that the way we do things is just as important as what we do. Every employee is guided by our Core Values, which form the foundation on which we work and conduct ourselves. These values are not descriptions of the work we do as a company or the strategies we employ to accomplish our mission; they underlie our work, how we interact with each other, and guide us in determining how to best serve our customers, employees, and local communities.

A Few of Our Happy Clients

Tiffany was detailed,knowledgeable, readily available to answer any questions, easy to work with, caring, and honest. I can’t say enough positive things about her. Thanks to her we were able to smoothly refinance our mortgage. I would highly recommend Tiffany and her team!

David K.

As a self employed individual, documenting my financial information was challenging. Karen was not the first broker that I contacted, but she was the first broker to say she could help me. Karen worked hard to get me qualified and got me a great rate on top of that.

Christopher P

Laura was on top of everything. She made the entire process easy and was pleasant and very knowledgeable. She even took the time to call after normal working hours to be sure everything was in place. I would recommend her to anyone needing a mortgage or refi.
