I love what I do for a living, nothing makes me happier than helping a customer finance their new home or refinancing their existing home to improve their life. I pride myself being knowledgeable in the ever-changing mortgage business to best serve my customers.

In 2017 my pursuit of knowledge and drive to serve my customers gave me the privilege of receiving the Michigan Mortgage Lenders Rising Star Award.

When I am not working I look forward to spending time with family, especially my wife Kim, stepson Noah and fur-baby Calvin. I love to travel, entertaining family and friends, anything outdoors and am a sports junky- whether watching or playing.

Lynn Szymkowski-Fish

Buying a home is the largest purchase most people make, but it doesn’t have to be stressful! I have been involved in the mortgage industry for more than 20 years and I love being able to help my clients chart a pathway to a home. I am happy to take the time to explain the mortgage process, and to take the fear out of it.  Together we will look at all of your options and decide on rates and terms that are the most favorable for you. I have wholesale relationships with more than 25 of the finest lenders in the country, so I am able to write a variety of mortgage types ranging from FHA to an interest only Jumbo.  I am honored to be able to service the needs of the women and men who make up our military with a full range of VA loan and refinance options.  Homes for Heroes is a passion project of our firm, and I take pride in the amount of loans I have generated for these selfless members of our society.  I am an award winning loan officer with a track record for fast, reliable work-so you can be assured that I will get you to the closing table on time, and with everything in order.

Whether you’re a first-time home buyer, looking to trade up, deciding to downsize, or simply wishing for a change, I can help you before you ever make an offer on a property. I will sit down with you and look over your budget, income and savings, and then help you get a clear picture of what type and amount of loan is realistic. There are many factors to consider when getting a home loan; interest rates are only one element of the complete package.  I will make sure you understand all of it, and then I will help you to make the best decision for your needs.

The financial aspects of home buying can be stressful and overwhelming—but they don’t have to be, not with a trained and caring professional like me in your corner. Reach out today at lynn@homelendusa.com or 248-514-7417 and let’s get started making your home-ownership dream come true!

I like to take an educational approach and explain things along every step of the way, to keep the fear of the home buying process at a minimum. No question is a stupid question with me.
