Karen O’Donovan
Branch Manager & Construction Specialist
About
With over 26 years of experience in the mortgage industry, I have worked in everything from processing to post-closing, so I know the mortgage process like the back of my hand! Through every step, I am dedicated to helping every individual find the best loan program tailored to their unique needs. I know that one size does not fit all which is why I always want to make sure your needs and wants are heard, and even after a closing, I don’t disappear. I am still available for any questions that may arise! I also believe that clear communication is key in this industry, and I take pride in guiding my clients through the process with transparency and care.
Outside of work, I cherish my time with my family, whether it’s enjoying a quiet evening at home or taking long walks on the beach together. Reading is another passion of mine. When I am not immersed in a good book, I love to bake delicious treats and sew new projects, but my family is always at the heart of everything I do.
