What did you want to be when you were a child? I wanted to be a professional baseball player for the Chicago Cubs.

What did you learn about growing up in Rockford? Rockford is a strong-willed community with many talented people. Many people have left and tried to live somewhere else, but a lot of them have come back to live here for family and/or economic reasons. A lot of negatives get reported in the media about Rockford, but the positives far outweigh the negatives and that is why I continue to live here.

Where did the name "1st Step" come from? When my son Logan was one year old and beginning to walk, I implemented his 1st steps into my work tag line ~ Your 1st Step in the Home Buying Process ~ while working for a different mortgage company. When I co-founded my own mortgage company a few years later it carried over and we named it 1st Step Mortgage Group, Inc.

Your 1st Step in the Home Buying Process

SHANE M. HARTJE 815-742-5323 NMLS#62779

11 Years of Teamwork at Your Service

What do you do when you're not helping out others? I spend most of my “free” time with my kids, Logan 9 and Zoey 7. Logan has played for Rockford Hockey Club for 2 years and he has been skating since he was 2 years old. Over the last two seasons his team has won tournaments in Detroit and Cleveland and came in 2nd in St. Louis. We travel a lot. When we are not at the rink, we are at Excel Academy watching Zoey take Tae Kwon Do lessons. She enjoys it very much and has been involved in it for over two years. The kids and I also enjoy movies, bowling, Peak Fitness and Magic Waters.

shane@1stepmortgage.com

What do your children tell you everyday?

1st Step Mortgage NMLS#2670

I have two of the best kids in the world. Everyday Logan says “ I love you Dad” and everyday Zoey says “I love you Daddy”. They also thank me for doing stuff with them and for them. They are very respectful to others as well.

1st Step Mortgage Group, Inc., is an Illinois Residential Mortgage Licensee, License Number MB.0006407, and regulated by the State of Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, Division of Banking located at 122 S. Michigan Ave., Ste. 1900, Chicago, Illinois 60603, phone (312) 793-3000.
