Robert Fillyaw is a seasoned veteran to the mortgage industry with a remarkable career spanning over two decades. Born with an innate ability to help others, he has assisted thousands of clients in achieving their dreams of homeownership. In his role as the Southeastern Area Manager for a prominent mortgage company, Robert oversaw the company’s top-performing group, consisting of over 100 employees working across 17 locations in 7 states, closing over 200 loans a month in excess of $50MM. He serves as a mortgage business coach with The Mortgage Marketing Animals Freedom Club, helping originators scale their businesses and enhance their productivity by building teams, systems, and processes.
His status as a preferred lender for many of the area’s leading builders and Realtors, and his consistent recognition as the market’s top-producing mortgage banker, is testament to his excellence and proficiency in his field. Robert’s team is reputed to be the best in the business, offering same-day approvals and frequent communication throughout the loan process. Their underwriters, all former originators, are skilled at finding ways to make loans work rather than focusing on limitations.

His service to the country as a U.S Marine, having been deployed to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, has earned him a lifetime membership of the VFW.

They were very responsive to all of our needs, they answered all of our questions and worked extra hard to have us close on time.
