Years of helping families find their perfect loan.
Hi, I'm Angie Brandau, and I've been helping people in Frankfort and throughout Will County navigate the mortgage process for over a decade. I know that buying a home or refinancing can feel overwhelming — there's a lot of jargon, a lot of decisions, and honestly, a lot of room for confusion.
That's exactly why I do what I do. I believe everyone deserves a lending experience that feels respectful, clear, and genuinely supportive. No pressure. No confusing fine print. Just honest conversations and a real plan that fits your life.
When I'm not helping clients, you'll find me right here in the community — because this isn't just my business, it's my neighborhood. I care about the people I work with the way I'd care about a friend or a neighbor. That's the Guaranteed Rate difference, and it's what I bring to every single loan.

Will County roots
Every homebuyer and homeowner has a different story. Here are the most common paths I walk with my clients — each one built around your unique situation.
Taking that first step into homeownership is exciting — and I'm here to make sure every step feels clear and confident. From pre-approval to closing day, I've got you.
Learn moreMaybe rates have dropped, your home value has grown, or you just want a fresh start. I'll run the numbers with you and show you exactly what refinancing could mean for your monthly payment.
Learn moreYour home might be outside the conventional loan limits — and that's okay. I work with jumbo and non-QM products to find competitive terms for unique situations.
Learn moreYou've served — now let me serve you. VA and military lending has special benefits that many people don't fully take advantage of. I'll make sure you see every option available to you.
Learn moreNot sure if now is the right time? I'll give you an honest, straightforward comparison of your current situation versus what a new rate and term could look like — no strings attached.
Learn moreYou don't need to have all the answers to reach out. Whether it's a quick question or a full conversation, I'm happy to help — even if you're just at the dreaming stage.
Say helloThe mortgage process doesn't have to be a mystery. Here's what working with me actually looks like, step by step.
We'll start with a friendly conversation — no forms, no pressure. I'll learn about your goals, your timeline, and answer whatever questions you have.
I'll walk you through the documentation and submit your application. You'll get a clear pre-approval so you know exactly what you're working with.
Once your offer is accepted, my team handles the behind-the-scenes work — appraisals, verification, and everything in between — so you stay informed every step.
You sign the papers, get the keys, and celebrate. I'll be right there with you to make sure everything goes smoothly. Welcome home!
"Angie made what we thought would be a stressful experience feel completely manageable. She explained everything in plain English, answered every question — even the silly ones — and we closed on time and on budget. We couldn't have asked for more."

"We refinanced our home with Angie and saved hundreds every month. She was so thorough in comparing our options and never pushed us into anything that didn't make sense. Honest, kind, and incredibly professional."
