Mike
Ouverson – Mortgage Consultant –
MOuverson@WaterstoneMortgage.com, 612-202-8321
As a mortgage consultant, my number one priority is
simple: to put my clients in the best position to be
successful. Whether the goal is short term or long term
investing or if you are a first time home buyer, I strive to
educate each client so they can make the decision that is
going to be the best for them.
I was once told that the only difference between the
wealthy and the poor is their access to information. Those
who are wealthy surround themselves with only those people
who have the most knowledge in their respective field. As I
reflect on this statement, I find myself seeking more and
more knowledge in my field so I can better service my
clients. If I don’t learn something new each day, I must not
have been paying attention.
Knowledge is the center of the transaction, but trust is
the center of the relationship. Nobody is going to do
business with someone they don’t trust, no matter how much
information they have access to. I want each and every
client’s experience with me and my team to be unmatched by
any. I want your experience with me to be the best!
I enjoy playing all types of sports, fishing, riding my
motorcycle, and helping people buy homes. I was born and
raised in Luverne, MN. After high school, I enrolled at
South Dakota State University. I played football for the
Jackrabbits along with Adam Vinatieri (NFL), Steve Heiden
(NFL), and Josh Ranek (CFL). I graduated with my Masters
degree in exercise physiology from SDSU in May of 2004.
After graduation I moved up to the cities and immediately
started my career in the mortgage industry. Since then, it’s
amazing how much knowledge I have gained of the business. I
never thought that I would be a mortgage consultant, but
once I started I couldn’t stop. NMLS #309068
As Waterstone Mortgage Corporation’s Sales Manager, Troy
Mlenar’s mission is about more than the mortgage. It’s about
alleviating financial stress to allow us to build strength
-strength in finances, strength in families, and strength in
communities – and homeownership is the way.
Troy is truly passionate about the mortgage business. He
has worn many hats in his 14 years experience in the
mortgage industry. This has shaped his unique understanding
and overall appreciation of the entire mortgage process and
allows him to offer a unique value proposition for both his
clients as well as his business partners. Troy’s primary
talents are dealing with realtors/financial planners/divorce
attorneys, recruiting, solving problems and negotiating. The
result is that 100% of his business comes from referrals
from satisfied clients, trusted professionals, and some of
the best realtors in the Twin Cities.
Troy believes the role of the mortgage professional is to
guide the client through the entire mortgage process, making
sure they understand and are comfortable with every step of
the loan process and all available options. He believes his
job and the job of his colleagues is to be financial
educators. Throughout his career, Troy has received many
distinguished designations such as Certified Mortgage
Planning Professionals, Certified Divorce Planning
Professionals, MMS, Homes for Heroes Chief Officer,
Life/Sales Mastery, etc.
On a personal level, Troy grew up in Rochester MN and
attended John Marshall High. After graduation he enrolled at
St. Cloud State University. While there he found the passion
for Rugby. Troy spent many years playing Rugby and developed
some of his greatest friendships there. Troy’s greatest gift
and joy in this world are his two sons, Aidan and Nate. He
particularly enjoys watching them grow and experience all of
what life has to offer. When he is not working for his
clients in the mortgage industry, you’ll find Troy with his
boys. NMLS #332291

Peter – Mortgage Consultant –
lpeter@waterstonemortgage.com, 651-341-6705
When it comes to the experience of buying a home, I want
all of my clients to be empowered! Education is the key to
that foundation. I listen to borrowers, answer their
questions, and explain the loan process and loan programs.
My greatest joy comes from helping clients through this
important life moment, therefore I want to hear your story
and help you achieve your goals.
People turn to me because they are confident I know who
to call or where to look to find the right answer. My
network of partners will help you when purchasing or
refinancing a home. In addition, I remain a resource to
clients not only before and during the loan process, but
long after they buy a house.
My background with down payment assistance programs, and
renovation, government, conventional and jumbo loans has
earned my membership in the President’s Club and Minnesota
Housing’s Top Producers. I teach a first time homebuyer
“Homestretch” class and hold a 203K renovation specialist
designation.
My education includes a Bachelor of Science in Business
from the University of Minnesota, Carlson School of
Management. I reside in Woodbury, MN with my husband and
four children, and enjoy movies, hanging with the kids,
walking, reading, friends, Asian food, babies and working
out (not necessarily in that order). I welcome the
opportunity to serve you and work with you to determine and
meet your goals. NMLS #364033

Roaldson – Mortgage Consultant –
jroaldson@waterstonemortgage.com, 612-310-3113
I am a true student of the finance industry, continually
learning how our markets work to move rates up and down. I
challenge myself every day to learn something new about our
financial markets, how to analyze financial reports to
ensure my clients are always well informed of potential
market shifts that could save them from a ten thousand
dollar mistake, and then disseminate that information to my
peers and clients in an effort to educate and create
awareness of what is going on around us.
My goal is to be fair and accurate with my clients on
every transaction. I believe that trust is the most
important ingredient in the relationship between my client
and me, which is why I focus on complete transparency with
my clients so they understand where all of the numbers in
their transactions are derived from. When trust is high and
stress is low, purchases close on time.
On a personal side, I hold 3 financial degrees from
Jamestown College and oddly enough 2 credits away from 2 not
so financial degrees. I love to golf. My greatest passions
are hockey, soccer, travel, and any financial books. I have
kissed the Stanley Cup and the FA Cup (in London), and have
traveled to 22 countries. I love movies, but not television.
I love dogs, but not cats. I love snow, but not winter, and
I can give a full tour of New York City, from Battery Park
to Central Park, in 24 hours. NMLS #308253
