Karen Ackerman
Mortgage Loan Officer, NMLS #469485
Karen will work with you to find your best mortgage loan option. From pre-approval to closing, she'll help you at every step.
"I started with Blaze in 1997 and have been a Mortgage Loan Officer since 2011. I have years of experience in the mortgage department as a preapproval specialist, processor, and underwriter prior to moving into my Mortgage Loan Officer position.
The most rewarding part of my job is getting to help members through the mortgage process every step of the way. I make sure that my members have a smooth process and answer any questions they may have.
When not working, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my husband, two daughters, and friends. I enjoy going to the lake, riding the trails on our side-by-side, and traveling."
