“I applied for a loan to try and get approved, and he went over and beyond to help me. He got me approved for a couple of things, including a first-time homebuyer assistance program and another one he found along the way. Within five months, I had my home.
I will always recommend Mark Svihel. His team is great.”

“Mark is a real human being and very patient. He gives good advice and is able to work through things even when they seem impossible. He works with you regardless of your background. I learned a lot from him. Thank you, Mark!”
Joel Navam
“After a complex situation left me without a lender and with closing in less than two weeks, Mark and his team did a speedy job helping me become a homeowner for the first time! I really appreciated his communication by phone, the helpful information during a stressful process, and the constant support through closing. I’d highly recommend Mark and Lake Area Mortgage to anyone looking to buy a home!”
