Meet Mikal

Mikal Knotek has been a successful mortgage professional, manager, technology entrepreneur and industry consultant who entered the mortgage field in 1991. Learning the business from the ground up, he quickly became a production leader. In 1997, he co-founded an independent residential mortgage group, and in 1998, he moved the business to Bell Bank Mortgage and helped evolve Bell into one of the area's premier residential mortgage lenders.

High-Tech Lender

While still in the mortgage origination business, Mikal also founded Audit Technologies, a lender-based audit and consulting firm. His industry insight provided new portfolio management tools for lenders. Audit Technologies and Mikal's growing residential mortgage business led to the establishment of Clear View Software, Inc. in 2001. Through Clear View, Mikal has developed ground-breaking technology to move data between consumers and lenders with speed and security.
