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
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

About
Hello!
My name is David Schley (the only sly things about me are the silent c, h, and e in my name). You can call me David, Dave, Sly, “Hey You”, or mortgage guy.
Before becoming a mortgage professional, I graduated from Temple University’s Beasley School of Law, where I learned that I did not want to be a lawyer. After graduation, I became a restaurant manager and continued the mediaton training I’d started at Temple.
As we welcomed our son into the world, I opened a mediation firm and became a stay-at-home dad until 2021 when we bought our first home, and I found my calling in mortgages. I joined Success Lending where I can offer all the programs and help many of the people I could not in the call center lender where I “cut my teeth.”
Listening skills learned as a mediator, research skills learned in law school, and customer service skills honed in food service have all proven valuable in the mortgage business but it is my genuine desire to help people that has allowed me to thrive regardless of the “rate environment.”
Reach out anytime! I am a total nerd when it comes to mortgages; I don’t have to be available to discuss mortgages on nights and weekends, I get to discuss mortgages on nights and weekends!

About
Hey, my name is Chris Garcia and I have been in the mortgage industry for three years. Through my time, I'd have to say that my favorite part of the job is getting to assist homebuyers as well as getting to know them over the course of their journey. I make a point to get to know my clients, I mean it's hard not to when you work so closely together. I understand just how important a home is and know that for many home is a safe-haven, a shelter, and a place to build our lives. If I can assist people in obtaining that and following their dreams, it is my honor to do so. Also, I do specialize in VA loans as assisting veterans is important to me since I, myself, am a Vet. I am proud of my service and love being able to assist my fellow service men and women.
A little more info on me when I'm not in the office, I love to spend my weekends with my wife, going to reptile shows, completing honey-do projects, or going on a nice hike. I'm active and I like keeping busy. I also SCUBA dive and really enjoy opportunities to travel both domestically and internationally. It is amazing to explore and see things that I wouldn't see in my hometown. However, I do love home. Home is with my wife and my two dogs, Wilber and Finley. They are our furry goofballs and we love them very much.
I look forward to the opportunity of working with you! Contact me today to get started!
