Robert W. Schreyer
Arizona market leader (a k a The Mortgage Man) with Camelback Mortgage who lives by example for his clients and his children
How did you get your start in the mortgage business? My father was in the mortgage business when I was growing up, so I was able to see first-hand what it was like to help others through one of their biggest financial events of their life. He loved his job and made so many good friends through it that I always knew that one day it would be the career for me.
What is the most rewarding part of your career? What about the biggest challenge? The most rewarding by far is when I get to see how happy my clients are when we close their loan. I love being a part of the different seasons of their lives by walking them through the loan process. I love to get to know my valued clients and have long friendships with many of them. One of the biggest challenges for me is when I miss out on an opportunity to help one my friends, family or past clients with a home loan. I would love to serve everyone!
You’re a full-time single father. What lessons do you hope to pass on to your children? The most important lessons that I have taught and continue to model for my awesome children is to always honor God in everything and to always do the right thing. By doing those things, everything else will fall into place and they will be successful no matter what.
In what ways do you give back to the community? I serve on the board for the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Scottsdale, which is an awesome organization that contributes greatly to our local kids. I co-lead The Modern Disciples group, which is a men’s group, and I am honored to serve at my church. I am always looking for ways to serve or contribute even if it is only a one-time event or fundraiser. Imagine the impact we could have on our community if all of us served just one time per year somewhere?
What influence do you hope to have on the Valley? I hope that through my actions and my attitude I can have a positive impact on my surroundings and the people I interact with each day. Whether at home with my family, or out in the marketplace, I have the biggest influence when I lead by example by having a positive attitude and outlook on life no matter what happens.
What are some of your free-time passions? I am a water guy so wake-surfing on my boat and hanging out on any beach is the best! I also love snowboarding and going up north to the cabin in the cool pines. I enjoy hiking our beautiful desert mountains and doing brunch, but most of all hanging with my kids and awesome friend group makes for a great life!
