Third base is called the “hot corner”. The ball comes at you hard & fast and you have to move faster. And then there are instant decisions to make. Do you make the long throw to first? Do you have time to cut down the runner sliding in at second to turn a DP?

Todd Probasco was a third baseman. And dealt successfully with those constant challenges.

Third base is a great analogy for how Todd has approached his twenty-year career in the mortgage industry. He’s always assessing the field and finding ways to help his clients. With impressive speed and accuracy.

He’s been on the banking and the broker side of the mortgage business so he knows exactly how things work. In fact, he won the 2005 Illinois Mortgage Broker of the Year award!Todd joined Lakeside in 2017 to lead our team of Mortgage Loan Consultants … as well as continuing to help his own clients!

Todd grew up in Palos Heights. He’s married, with two grown children. He’s a huge Bears and Sox fan and loves tailgating before the games. If you’re house hunting, re-financing or need a home equity loan, call, email or stop by and see Todd. He’s exactly the mortgage pro you want on YOUR team!

Jackie Kaczmarek
Assistant Branch Manager

We call Jackie our, “Jackie of All Trades” because, well, she can do anything. As the Assistant Branch Manager, she helps clients open checking & savings accounts, CD’s, IRA’s and more. And she’s superb at aiding with account reconciliation so customers know they can always count on her to answer questions. She’s also essential in the day-to-day running of the branch, assisting the teller line with deposits, withdrawals and important reports.

And she’s always extended her “all trades” life philosophy to sports, too. In school she played basketball, volleyball, softball, ran track & field, swam and even kicked the soccer ball. Jackie is still always moving!

Jackie became a Lakesider in 2017. She began at our Michigan Avenue branch, moved to Elmhurst, was promoted and helped open Oakbrook Terrace. She was promoted again and is now back at Elmhurst. Her educational background is in business and finance.
