About Jackie

Jackie Shay began her career in the mortgage industry in 2014, when she started working with her husband, Anthony Ranft, by assisting with the processing of individual loan files. Jackie takes pride in providing her clients the best customer experience possible. If there are any questions, comments or concerns that her clients might have at any time of day, she will address them immediately. Her business consists of a wide range of clients and products, including purchase transactions, new construction, first in condominiums, VA, FHA and first-time home buyers. One of Jackie's long-term goals is to implement measures to keep improving the mortgage experience for all her clients, referral sources and other teams she works with often.

Having grown up in a small town in Massachusetts, Jackie decided she wanted to experience the city life and moved to San Francisco, where she took art classes. This experience took her to the School of the Art Institute in Chicago, Illinois, where she studied printmaking.

Jackie currently lives in Albany Park in Chicago. She has taught with Around the Coyote, After School Matters and ran an afterschool art club with kids from Cabrini Green through Chicago Cares. For fun, Jackie takes local woodshop classes, enjoys cooking and experimenting with food.

A homeowner with a child on his lap calculating whether to buy a new home or refinance his home loan

Owning a home is fun and fulfilling!

What’s not to love about having a space that is entirely yours? You can paint your bathroom fuchsia, have hardwood in the master, put up a wild Mosaic in the kitchen, install a smart thermostat, you name it. After all, it’s your home!

Equally enjoyable are the other personal and financial advantages of being a homeowner: security and stability, equity and wealth building, and more! I’m here to help you get the most from your home financing — whether you’re buying your first home, moving up or downsizing to match your lifestyle, or refinancing your current mortgage.

Helping your home financing process go smoothly.

  • Payment Calculator

    How much will your mortgage payment be? How much can you save if you refinance? Is it better to buy than rent? Use these online calculators to crunch the numbers and see for yourself.

  • Find the Right Loan

    I separate myself from other lenders by offering a broader selection of home financing options — from loans for first-time homebuyers to refinance programs for accessing your home’s equity.
