Time to fall in love with your loan team.

(err, I mean dream loan)

We get it. Getting a home loan isn’t something you want on your mind or taking up your time.

And it especially isn’t something you want standing in the way of you and a home you love. That’s why we’ve given the traditional home financing process the old heave-ho. Out with the old, and in with the new, as they say. We’ve removed the stuffy suits, financial mumbo jumbo, flaky service, and cookie cutter loans. And replaced them with a new way of doing lending.

One that’s filled with casually dressed, amicable humans with thick Midwestern accents.

One that’s truly full-service, where everything around the home loan process is completely handled for you, with open communication along the way. And one that takes a creative and personal approach to home lending, where your goals are taken into consideration and unique solutions are offered.

We do all this, so you can get into the home of your dreams…

Without the stress, confusion and awkward lender encounters. And, even more importantly, so you can enjoy every moment of your new life in your home, because you worked with a lender that enabled you to confidently select a loan that’s perfectly tailored for you.

We may not wear suits. But we do wear underwear.

Todd Simon

Branch Manager, Mortgage Loan Originator

nmls#766424

Todd is your loan guy. But if we want to get fancy about it, he’s responsible for this operation (as well as the lingering smell of hot wings in the office).

Although he doesn’t take himself too seriously, he is damn serious about ensuring that every single person who’s entrusted him and his team with their home financing, confidently get into the home of their dreams.

He’s been in the mortgage biz for over a decade (“The Original Originator”), and is one of the most knowledgable lenders out there, but he didn’t get into lending because of his passion for mortgages. He’s in it because of the joy he gets from giving people the opportunity to build their lives in a home they love.

Fun Facts:

  • Sports fanatic (Go Pack Go!)
  • Enjoys competitive bar games
    (pool, anyone?)
  • Family man, loves spending time with his wife (Carolyn) and 3 daughters (Arietta, Ansley, Annette) up north at their cottage in Crandon, WI

Carolyn Simon

Loan Coordinator
nmls#2252513

Carolyn is your new best friend and she’ll get you home! As the Loan Coordinator, she will most likely be the first person you speak with on our team to gather your information and get you scheduled to meet with Todd for your pre-approval.

Once you find that dream home, she gets our clients from accepted offer to closing. She will gather all necessary documents for the underwriting process and make it fun along the way!

Carolyn can’t wait to meet you and walk with you through your home buying journey. Nothing brings her more joy than helping you find the house of your dreams.

Fun Facts:

  • Equestrian champion. Nothing scares her, even jumping 1300 pound animals through the air.
  • Used to be a clown and is still a professional balloon artist.
  • Mama to 3 beautiful girls.
