\u201cWhile the digital foundation we\u2019ve established has certainly played a role in Mid America\u2019s ability to achieve turn time of one to two business days, the backbone of that technology is our team of highly experienced underwriters,\u201d said Mid America Owner\u00a0and Chief Executive Officer\u00a0Jeff Bode. \u201cKatherine\u2019s impressive track record for quickly, accurately and securely closing loans not only helps us preserve that standard of service but also expands our capacity to handle even greater loan volumes. We are confident in Katherine\u2019s ability to amplify our underwriting efforts and proudly welcome her to the Mid America team.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bringing more than 30 years of mortgage experience to her new role, Carlsen has ensured the success of her teams by leading dedicated training, coaching and development initiatives to enhance their skills. Her past employers include Wells Fargo and Salem Five Mortgage Company. Her professional achievements in previous roles include closing $100 million per month for six consecutive years, increasing closing volume by 100%, tripling submission volume and reducing turn time in underwriting from 10 days to only 24 hours.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve spent my career preparing underwriters for the unique challenges the mortgage market presents and maintaining a knowledgeable, service-oriented team means that employee engagement, hands-on training and coaching are essential for a lender\u2019s success,\u201d said Carlsen. \u201cMid America is a prime example of these principles in action. The team is full of mortgage professionals that are well-equipped and eager to meet the needs of an ever-changing industry, and I look forward to leading the underwriting division to even higher levels of efficiency and excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n
