Forward Bank is pleased to welcome Mike Stiemke-Reis as a Mortgage Lender in our Marshfield office.
With deep local roots and a passion for guiding homebuyers, Mike brings a wealth of real estate knowledge and a steady, supportive approach to the home lending process.
“Helping someone purchase a home is one of the most meaningful parts of my job,” said Mike. “My goal is to be a steadying force throughout the process and ensure every customer feels supported and informed.”
Born and raised in Spencer, Mike graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point with a degree in History and Broadfield Social Science and a teaching license. After a short time in education, he discovered his calling in real estate, spending seven years helping families find homes before transitioning to mortgage lending. His personal experience on both sides of the home-buying journey gives him a unique perspective that benefits every customer he serves. Outside of work, you’ll find Mike enjoying a round of golf whenever Wisconsin weather allows.
“Mike’s experience as a real estate agent brings added value to our mortgage lending team and to the customers we serve,” said Bill Sennholz, CEO of Forward Bank. “His approachable style and deep understanding of the local housing market make him a natural fit for our mission of Moving Our Communities Forward.”
