You could say Adam Pelletter was born to be a Madison Summit Mortgage Loan Officer. After all, he’s a lifelong Madison resident, graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has 15 years of financial service experience and comes from a family of real estate professionals!

Adam loves to give his members the confidence to succeed in a fast-paced real estate market. How? By making the complicated simple! He’ll take the time to explain every step of the mortgage process in clear, easy-to-understand terms and leverage his extensive financial experience to help members find and get the loan that’s right for them.

Ask Adam why he chooses to work at Summit, and he’ll point to Summit’s investments in the community and our commitment to handle every step of the mortgage process in-house. Adam loves being part of an organization that puts members first and feels like a big family.

When he’s not helping members get into the best loan for their needs, you’ll find Adam enjoying family time – coaching his twin sons in Little League or golfing with his wife are two favorite activities. Not surprisingly, Adam is a lover of all things Badgers!

Trying to decide which financial institution to choose for your mortgage? Here are three great reasons to go with Summit: 1. We’re the top mortgage lender in Wisconsin;^* 2. We’re committed to the financial well-being of our members and the communities we serve; and 3. We have great mortgage loan officers like Chad Johnson.

Chad has been a mortgage loan officer for almost two decades and has been with Summit for nearly his entire career. He shares our commitment to putting members first and reports he could feel the impact of that mission from the minute he first walked through the door.  

Chad works hard to help members understand their mortgage options and choose the one that best meets their needs. If you love getting to work with someone who will patiently answer all your questions and make sure you get the information you need to make an informed choice, Chad is your man!

When he’s not hunting down the best loan option for your needs, you’ll likely find Chad attending his sons’ sporting events or heading on a road trip to a state or national park.

It’s impossible to create a thriving community without financially healthy households.

Sadie Baile already knew this the first time she worked at Summit – from 2011 to 2014 when Sadie worked her way from Summit teller to lender to branch manager. But it took seven years outside the financial industry – working in a non-profit, earning a master’s degree and launching a company to assist nonprofits – to fully appreciate the truth of that statement. And that realization is what brought her to Summit for a second time in early 2021 as a mortgage loan officer.

Sadie loves knowing she’s playing a role in empowering members of her community and that Summit’s member-owned business model means profits are reinvested to benefit members.

Choose Sadie to help with your mortgage, and get an approachable, friendly, knowledgeable partner who strives to make you feel informed and comfortable – and who works hard to ensure you’re satisfied with the purchase or refinance experience.

When Sadie’s off the clock, she loves music of all types, singing and dancing (though she claims not to do it well!) and being outside, traveling and enjoying nature. On the flip side, she’s a data geek and loves getting lost researching a new topic.

Claudine prides herself on keeping members’ needs front and center – and she has the happy customers to prove it!

Claudine has worked in financial services for more than a decade and has spent the majority of her career at Summit. What does she love most about working at our credit union? Knowing she’s part of a team that gives back to the community, makes helping others a priority and embraces diversity.

A mortgage lender for nearly two decades, Brett describes himself as an honest, knowledgeable and humble person who will look out for your best interests and work with you to achieve your goals. (And based on what we’ve heard from Brett’s buyers, we’d say he delivers as promised). Brett enjoys working with numbers and people and has found the world of mortgage lending to be a perfect fit.

Brett has been a member of the Summit team for the last 10 years and came to Summit after careful research uncovered that Summit had a great environment and would be an amazing place to work.

When he’s not hard at work finding the best mortgages for our members, you’ll likely find Brett coaching youth basketball, spending time with family and friends or looking for the next Amazon to add to his stock portfolio.

If you could create your ideal mortgage loan officer, we’re guessing they might share many of the attributes Bryce Kingsley brings to our team.

Smart and hard working? Check. Committed to keeping the borrower’s best interests top of mind? Check. Dedicated to finding the lending solution that’s right for them? Check and double check!

Bryce went into financial services right after college, working first as a teller and then as a personal banker. He later moved into mortgage processing and then into mortgage lending. That breadth of experience gave Bryce an excellent understanding of financial services and helped him become the exceptional mortgage loan officer he is today.

Although his work in financial services started at another organization, after a co-worker switched to Summit – and raved about the work environment, benefits and chance for advancement – Bryce did the same.

When he’s not helping members find the loan that’s right for them – and keeping them in the loop every step of the way – you’re likely to find Bryce playing volleyball, traveling or spending time with his son.

Want a mortgage loan officer who knows mortgage lending inside and out? Meet Dan Mattes.

Dan has spent his entire career working in mortgages. He’s worked in mortgage lending at banks, mortgage brokers and credit unions – you’ll have a hard time finding a mortgage question that stumps him!

And while Dan’s mortgage knowledge is truly impressive, there’s another area where he's just as strong: member service. Dan knows buying a home can be stressful and that’s why he works so hard to ensure your mortgage loan experience is as seamless and easy as possible.

Why does Dan enjoy being a mortgage loan officer at Summit? 1. Because he’s a big believer in the credit union model – people helping people is what Dan’s all about. And 2.

Just ask Ross, who was in home lending and finance at big-box banks that didn’t share the “people, not profits” focus he aligns with -- and loves about Summit. He’s now totally in his element, finding out-of-the-box ways to go above and beyond for members here!

With 15+ years of experience, Ross knows there’s one thing that makes the mortgage process easier for everyone involved – open lines of communication. It’s a big part of what helps him build such strong relationships, and why members feel informed and confident the whole way through.

Sound like everything you’d include on your mortgage loan officer wish list? Meet a mortgage loan officer who delivers on all three: Justin.

A Marine Corps veteran, Justin first joined the Summit team as a part-time teller at our VA Medical Center branch in Milwaukee. He’s long been motivated by the idea of “veterans helping veterans” – a nice spin on Summit’s “people helping people” philosophy – and embraced the chance to provide financial services to his fellow veterans.

Since that first role, Justin has worked as a universal banker, senior universal banker, lending advisor and business loan underwriter – adding skills and knowledge every step of the way. And he can’t wait to bring that experience and breadth of knowledge to a great mortgage experience for you.

When he’s not helping Summit members buy the home of their dreams, you’ll find Justin cooking or exploring the Madison area with his wife and son.

Ask Marine Corps veteran Jeremy why you should choose him for your mortgage loan officer and his answer is simple, “Just like in the Marines, I won’t stop until we have mission success.”

What helps Jeremy get to “mission success” for his members? A deep knowledge of the real estate industry. Jeremy came to Summit after years in real estate sales and also spent time working in the title services industry – and a commitment to creating a stress-free mortgage loan experience.

Jeremy joined Summit because he had been so impressed by our loan officers while working in the real estate industry and had seen firsthand that we shared the same core values. We’re thrilled to have Jeremy on our side of the table!

Ask Leigha Hanrahan why members should consider using her for their mortgage and her answer is unconventional (but oh so true!): Because she’ll make you do a happy dance! Leigha takes the time to listen, learn and give guidance and honest opinions. From the first time you meet her, you’ll know you’re in good hands!

Leigha has been working in financial services since she was 17. Since that time, she’s played a variety of roles in the financial services space.

Wil Vale works hard to find the best mortgage or refi option for his customers. But he doesn’t stop there, because Wil knows the true test of a good mortgage loan is the difference it makes for you in the long run.

Wil has been in financial services for nearly two decades and brings a wide range of experiences – including being a teller, personal banker, business banker and mortgage loan officer – to every member interaction.
