The lending powerhouse
Behind every intro: Ashland Alitz.
Ashland leads Lending Lakes & Co — 136 families and $48M in personal production in 2025, a 4.89-star record across 423 verified reviews, and a branch that served 963 families last year. When Olivia says “I know someone,” this is who she means.

The good-life guarantee
We take the lending seriously. Ourselves? Less so.
Around here, milestones get celebrated — first homes, growing families, forever houses, and yes, every single clear-to-close. Olivia’s a mom, a woman of faith, a Diet Coke devotee, and a firm believer that the people helping you with life’s biggest purchase should actually be fun to work with.
That’s the Lending Lakes & Co difference: elite production numbers, delivered by people who genuinely love what they do — and who they do it with.
