Branch Sales Manager · Loan Officer

Elite production. Zero ego. Genuinely fun to work with.

Ashland leads Lending Lakes & Co from Fairway’s Eden Prairie branch — 136 families and $48M in personal production in 2025, inside a branch that served 963 families for $348M. Ask her clients what stands out, though, and it isn’t the numbers: it’s the plain-English explanations, the fast answers, and the feeling that someone is genuinely in your corner from pre-approval to keys.

She’s licensed in Minnesota and 9 additional states, mentors loan officers across Fairway’s network, and built Lending Lakes & Co as a place where every buyer — especially the ones who think they’re “not ready yet” — gets a real answer instead of a runaround.

Be honest — is my file too messy for you?
I've closed loans people swore were impossible. Send it over — worst case, you leave with a real plan instead of a guess. 💪

The whole crew

Lending Lakes & Co — built like a team, runs like one.
