About
Hello, my name is Matt Lake and I live in Canton, GA, which is about 45 minutes north of Atlanta. I started in the mortgage business in 2000 and have closed thousands of loans over the last 2 decades. My experience and expertise allow me to simplify a complex process, explain guidelines thoroughly and structure to close all types of mortgages. One of my goals with every client is to guide them through the process as easily and stress-free as possible. I know the importance of finding a dream home and I believe that a home is one of the foundation blocks for a family. Buying or refinancing a home is an important step for a person or family and I love that I can be a small part to make that a reality.
My family, which includes my wife of 20 years and two teenage boys, loves to camp and explore the country in our RV. I am a Head Coach for the local Georgia Cycling Mountain Bike Team and have coached numerous other youth sports over the years. I am a coffee fanatic and enjoy volunteering in my local community as a motivational speaker. I have had the privilege of being featured at student retreats, fundraisers, FCA gatherings, school functions, and numerous other events.

About
Hello, my name is Tracy Berdelle and I have been in the mortgage industry for 16 years. I have loved being a part of this industry as I get to work closely with homebuyers. My favorite part of working with them is having the ability to help people buy their homes. It's typically the most important purchased of your life and I love to be a part of it and helping people smoothly through the process. I work hard to get the job done for my clients as effectively as possible by getting things done on time as well as communicating clearly and often. I want my clients to know that I will be prompt, communicative and on time with deadlines as they come up.
My start in mortgages started with the President of Success Lending, Shaun Patrickus. He gave me the opportunity to join this industry in 2005 and I've really found it exciting and rewarding. Also, for 6 years, I did have experience in real estate as I worked as a paralegal for top residential real estate firm Fogarty & Fugate. I feel that having the understanding of the real estate and mortgage side of the business has been really beneficial to my work and to my clients. In addition, I am also able to speak Spanish and work with Spanish speaking clients.
A little about me, when I have free weekends, I love to spend my time with my friends and family as well as riding my horse Toast. I also love to ski, and travel. My favorite places to travel are the mountains and the beach. Other interests of mine involve sports and I am a big fan of the Chicago Blackhawks. Lastly, I am a proud pet owner. I have 4 pets total, 2 dogs - Tux and Bu, Toast (as I mentioned earlier), and my giant goldfish Goldie.
I hope to have the opportunity to work with you and help you on your way to homeownership. I am licensed in TX, IL, MI, CO, and WI. Contact me today to get started.

About
I have had the pleasure of being a mortgage loan originator for over 10 years. I enjoy interacting with my clients and helping them learn all about the home loan process. While it can be a lot of information to absorb, I do my very best to break it down into bite-sized pieces. This way you can feel comfortable as you are able to make informed decisions along the way. I work with all types of buyers, but I pride myself on working with first-time home buyers as I really enjoy helping them understand everything. There are a lot of moving pieces, but with the right team, it can make it a much more pleasurable experience. I look forward to working with you.
About
I’ve been in the mortgage industry for over 25 years, but my path here was anything but traditional. I started my career as a professional wrestler in Dallas before moving into radio as a nationally syndicated talk show host covering sports and pop culture. It was during my time hosting a mortgage radio segment that I was offered an opportunity to enter the mortgage business—and I took the leap.
Today, I serve as both a Loan Officer and Loan Counselor, with a passion for helping people navigate one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives. Whether you’re buying your first home, refinancing to lower your monthly payment, or looking to tap into your home equity, my goal is simple: make the mortgage process as smooth, honest, and rewarding as possible.
I’m proud to be part of Success Lending, in partnership with eXp Realty, which allows me to serve clients across more than 30 states.
A Little About Me
I’m based in Lewisville, Texas, and when I’m not helping clients, you’ll probably find me doing something that keeps life interesting. I take my custom Star Wars-themed Dodge Chargers to local car shows and use them to support charitable causes. I also volunteer as a mobile DJ, a graphic artist, follow just about every sport imaginable, and consider myself a BBQ enthusiast who is still very much in training!
And yes, I’m a serious Star Wars collector.
Most importantly, I’m a family man. My wife and I have three amazing kids. One is a Doctor, another is a Percussion Director, and the third is a volleyball coach! We also share our home with four lovable rescue pups: Kona, Kahlua, Athena, and Zeus
At the end of the day, I love what I do because I get to help people accomplish something meaningful. If you’re looking to purchase a home, refinance, or explore your financing options, I’d be honored to be your mortgage resource and help you every step of the way.
I am currently licensed in the following states: AL, AZ, AR, CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, MD, MI, MN, NH, NJ, NM, NC, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SD, TN, TX, VA, and WA
