A Chicago native, Deanna Willerman graduated in 3 years from the University of Illinois-Champaign Urbana with a Bachelors' Degree in Business, and her CPA, in the number 1 accounting program in the country at the time. Having worked as a tax CPA, a tax consultant, and a residential relator, she was introduced to Mortgage lending and knew she had found the perfect career that utilizes all her previous experience and helps each client with their financing.

She specializes in all types of loans (First mortgages with a small down payment, Jumbo loans, FHA loans, Reverse mortgages, Home Equity Loans, Construction financing, investment property loans, and Second home loans). Whether you have perfect credit or imperfect credit, Deanna will analyze your credit profile and use all her resources to help you obtain financing.

Deanna has received numerous accolades, including a listing on the prestigious Angie's List, Top 100 mortgage lenders and many more. But her largest accomplishment is the continued testimonials and accolades from her clients who have stayed with her for 20+years. Deanna's vast experience enables her to tailor loans for each and every client. And after the closing, she continues to monitor her clients' rate and will notify them if market conditions improve and a cost-effective opportunity to save money or restructure their loan becomes available.

Deanna's biggest fault is her inability to say no! She looks for a "yes" for all financing situations and to help her clients achieve the goal of home ownership. She is in her 17th year at Perl Mortgage and over 25 years in this field. You will always deal directly with Deanna and you will receive a personal experience which adds more value than just your mortgage.
