He is truly humbled and honored to have served the Pacific Northwest lending needs over the past two decades.

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.
Now in my 17th year in the mortgage business, I’ve helped hundreds of clients navigate the loan process, from first-time homebuyers to investors to clients consolidating their debts with a refinance. I’m particularly adept at helping older clients see how a reverse mortgage can improve their overall financial lives. I’m passionate about turning over every stone to uncover the optimal solution.
In my spare time, I enjoy trail running, travel, and cooking up new concoctions in the kitchen.

I'm Carmen Babb and I'm a LOCAL lender who has done home loans since 1997. I recognize that the personal aspect of getting a home loan has gone away for most, so I've always held on tightly to that. Whether you're a first time home buyer or a savvy investor, I will make sure you know what to expect, when to expect it, and I'll always deliver on my promises.
Your experience with me will always include three key components: Communication, Accuracy, and Timeliness.
Communication: I believe that communication makes all the difference for a home buyer. Having good communication eliminates a huge amount of the stress that some people experience while getting a home loan. You will always get that with me.
Accuracy: I stand behind my quotes. Many lenders will quote low to get you in the door, only to change everything on you later. I give accurate quotes and I back them up. In fact, I typically quote HIGH to ensure that I never quote too low. I want you to know that you can trust my quotes and updates.
Timeliness: When you're ready to write an offer, you need me to get you numbers and a pre-approval letter. When you have your offer accepted by the seller, you need me to get to work. And, you need me to stay on top of your loan throughout the process and CLOSE ON TIME. Timeliness is my commitment to you. My team is quick, accurate, and kind.
Please give me a call or shoot me an email and experience the difference. I would love to work with you!
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.
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
17 years ago, I was first drawn to the financial services industry because of the unique opportunity it provides to make a real impact on someone's life. I love playing a part in making people’s dreams of homeownership come true.
When I'm not helping families with mortgages, you can find me on the soccer field, enjoying live music, traveling to new destinations, or spending time with my loved ones. These passions have taught me the value of teamwork, the power of creativity, and the importance of making memories with those closest to you.
I understand that buying a home can be a complex and overwhelming process, which is why I make it my mission to educate and empower my clients. I take pride in my ability to navigate even the most challenging situations, finding solutions where others see obstacles.
I would be honored to help any way I can.
