Mallory Strotheide is so much more than your average lender. When she began working in the mortgage industry over ten years ago, Mallory instantly fell in love with the relationship aspect of the business. Whether connecting with agents, clients, or local business owners, she strives to create relationships and partnerships that improve people’s lives. As a mother of four with over 12 years of experience, Mallory always seeks opportunities to support other moms and female business owners throughout the West Michigan community.

As a Mortgage Advisor, Mallory takes pride in knowing that people trust her with one of the most significant financial decisions of their lives, and to her, each client is like family. Education has always been her passion, which has translated into her commitment to educate and empower her clients to be successful homeowners – even beyond the mortgage process. As part of this mission, she created her ‘Mortgage Minute’ social media series, where she films short, informative videos on all things mortgages. Additionally, she loves using social media to keep up with her clients’ lives and share her mortgage expertise.

Originally from Portland, Michigan, Mallory lives in Ada with her husband, Jake, their four adorable kids, Maylee, Kasen, Kallan, and Macklyn, and their golden retrievers, Maisey and Bingo. She is passionate about philanthropy and giving back to the community. In her spare time, you can find her coaching youth softball or helping at local schools and Kid’s Food Basket. Mallory is also a board member and an active volunteer with the Women’s Council of Realtors and the GRAR Young Professional Network.

We have an excited experience working with you guys, you met our expectations and help us to get to the process, work very hard and fast to make our dream come true. All we have to said is thank you so much….

Marino Castillo C

I had the pleasure of working directly with Haley Layson, and she was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly responsive, thorough, and answered every question I had. Haley made the mortgage process smooth and stress-free, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. When the time comes to refinance, she will be my first call—I can’t imagine working with anyone else. My experience was a 10/10, and I would highly recommend her to family and friends!

Loni M

I can’t express how incredible our experience was with Mallory and her team. They operate with the upmost detail, urgency, and care. They know what they are doing, and helped us close on our new build quickly and smoothly. I will be recommending them to anyone and everyone! 

Danielle L

I loved working with Mallory and her team! As a first time homebuyer, I didn’t know much about the process, but Mallory and her amazing staff made the process so easy, and she even got me in contact with a realtor that she recommended, and we hit it off. They were with me every step of the way and both her/her team and the realtor still check in with me even after three months of closing on the home. If you need a mortgage, she’s the best of the best!

Mikayla S

As a first-time homebuyer, I was nervous about the whole process, but Mallory made it so much easier than I ever expected. She was incredibly helpful, responsive, and patient every step of the way. Her communication was clear and consistent, which made such a difference, especially while juggling everything as a single mom. Thanks to Mallory, my kids and I are now happily settled into our new home. I’m so grateful for her support and would absolutely recommend her to anyone navigating the mortgage process!

As a first time home buyer Mallory and team made the process easy and seamless for us. We had previously talked with another lender and had a less than stellar experience.

Mallory and her team were immensely helpful throughout the buying process.
