Our History

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 its tree 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 and The Heartland Branch, 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.
Giving Back
American Warrior Initiative
The objective of the non-profit 501(c)3, American Warrior Initiative, is to educate, encourage and inspire Americans to give back to our military. A key part of this initiative is the education platform, American Warrior Real Estate Professional certification for real estate agents and mortgage professionals.
Boot camps are held throughout the country in which real estate agents have the opportunity to not only receive continuing education credits, but also be a part of our veteran initiatives- wherein we meet local veterans’ needs. The objective in offering the CE course is to provide a platform whereby Real Estate Professionals can be trained and equipped to handle with excellence the home purchase needs of active duty and former military clients.
Military Mortgage Specialist™ Designation
Also, exclusive to Fairway loan professionals is the Military Mortgage Specialist™ Designation. This Designation thoroughly trains and equips mortgage loan professionals, loan processors, closers, loan assistants, and branch managers to handle with excellence the mortgage loan needs of our active and former military clients.
AM25 Fairway Annual Meeting
The 2025 Fairway Annual Meeting was nothing short of exceptional! Throughout the event, Fairway embraced the core values, challenged us to think bigger, and strengthened the relationships that make us Stronger Together. Fairway Home Mortgage is committed to growth—both within our team and through strong partnerships with real estate professionals. Because when we work together, we create seamless homebuying experiences for our clients.
Fairway team members were adorned by incredible nationally renowned speakers—Jesse Itzler, Kevin Paul Scott, and Neel Dhingra … all sharing their insights and inspiring us to push beyond our limits. The amazing hosts, Haley Parker and MC Austin Larr, kept the energy high and the event running smoothly. And of course, none of this would be possible without the leadership and vision of our CEO, Steve Jacobson, who reminds us every day what it means to lead with heart.
At Fairway, our culture is built on ensuring everyone involved has a superior experience. Whether you’re looking for a home loan, are a real estate partner, or are interested in a career with Fairway, contact us today to connect!
