Early Accomplishments Lead to Success for Anatoly Nirshberg

Financial Sector Knowledge Proves Catalyst for Entrepreneurial Venture for Anatoly Nirshberg

As an immigrant to America, Anatoly Nirshberg always believed in the "American Dream". Emigrating from Moscow in 1989, Nirshberg's parents encouraged him to work hard by setting a strong example for him to follow. Nirshberg's mother was an accomplished college professor and his father was a brilliant engineer with six unique patents in the field of metallurgy. While growing up an immigrant had its challenges, Nirshberg welcomed the opportunity to overcome those obstacles and continue the growing legacy of success his family had made in the States.

Not hesitating to make his mark, Nirshberg began studying for the General Securities Representative Exam, or Series 7, as a teenager. The most comprehensive of securities licensing, and also the most difficult, Nirshberg impressively passed the exam at age 18. The Series 7 licensure afforded Berg the opportunity to begin working with retail investors. From there he launched a career in mortgages at HomeUSA Mortgage. Quickly rising through the ranks, Nirshberg moved to Ameriquest Mortgage, a leading wholesale lender. American Enterprise Bank in Buffalo Grove became the next stop in Nirshberg's rise. Serving the greater northwest suburbs of Chicago, American Enterprise Bank offered Nirshberg a chance to understand a broad range of financial services.

Having gained significant exposure to mortgage financing and loan management, Nirshberg took his skills to Century Mortgage in Lincolnwood. There, Nirshberg transformed the company. Taking the company from near zero production in 2002 to $45,000,000 in volume in 2003, Nirshberg's exceptional skills became the catalyst for growth. Building on his enormous success, Nirshberg hired and trained a full staff of new loan officers to further strengthen the company's position.

Recognizing his entrepreneurial interests and capitalizing on the success of his work with Century Mortgage, Nirshberg created a Loan Originators preparatory course to share his knowledge with new loan officers. Through this program Nirshberg trained over 100 loan officers, helping them to understand the industry and pass the loan originators examination. In taking the examination, almost all of Nirshberg's trainees passed. Nirshberg noted that, "many trainees were immigrants themselves; seeking just as his family did in 1989 to realize the American Dream".
