Our Story
Since 2003, Treadstone has been practicing common sense lending and created an environment where people work hard—and play harder. Under the guidance of co-founders and friends, Kevin Polakovich and Brendan O’Driscoll, we have continued to hire people with drive, integrity, and a true dedication to redefining the mortgage industry.
Today, we’re the leading premier local mortgage company in West Michigan (and pretty proud of it). But this didn’t happen overnight; it’s a product of our commitment to best-in-class customer service, on-time closings, and open, honest communication with both clients and agents.
When you visit our office, trust you’ll be welcomed by staff who genuinely care about you and want to know you by name. Plus, you may be greeted by one of our beloved office dogs, too.
Mission + Values
We're on a mission to help people buy homes with less hassle and more enjoyment by developing genuine relationships, applying a team-based approach to customer care, and providing sound advice.
Positivity
We see the glass half full. We have a can-do attitude. And we believe in smiling in person, on the phone, and via email.
Emotional Intelligence
We know what to say—and when to say it. We listen for the emotions, not the words. And we spend time reading others and practicing self-awareness.
Openness
We accept constructive criticism. We honor transparency and vulnerability. And we're proud to be approachable and always willing to learn something new.
Proactive
We are a group of self-starters. We solve problems before they happen. And we're always anticipating ways to be better.
Passion
We have pride and are dedicated to our work. We are constantly on a quest for knowledge. And we love to help people—plain and simple.
Fun
We work hard—and play harder. We celebrate victories big and small. And we make mortgage lending an exciting, memorable experience.
Integrity
We keep ourselves accountable. We believe in working for the greater good. And we commit to doing the right thing—placing your interests above our own.
