2026 Who's Who in Chicagoland Real Estate

Alessandro Madonia, Senior VP of Mortgage Lending

Preferred Rate, partnered with American Pacific Mortgage

For Alessandro Madonia, helping people buy homes isn’t just about numbers; it’s about treating clients the way he’d want to be treated. With 19 years in the mortgage business, he’s built a reputation for being honest, hardworking and all-in on every deal.

“I always keep it simple,” says Madonia. “I ask myself, ‘If I were buying one of the biggest investments in my life, what would I need from my advisor?’ Then I make sure to deliver exactly that.”

Madonia’s dedication has earned him a repeat spot on American Pacific’s President’s Club, 11 years on Who’s Who in Chicagoland Residential Real Estate list and 13 years as a Five Star Mortgage Professional. But what matters most to him is helping clients feel confident, clear and cared for throughout the buying process. “Every client gets a custom game plan,” he says. “I work hard to break things down in a way that makes sense and shows transparency which helps my clients move toward their dream of homeownership — without unnecessary stress.”

When he’s not working, Madonia’s all about family. He loves spending time with his wife, Alyssa, and their two boys, Alessandro and Adriano. He often can be found golfing, biking, lifting weights or giving back to the community. “This industry is fast and forever evolving,” Madonia remarks, “but it’s taught me the importance of slowing down and making time for what really matters — yourself and your family.”
