AJ Harma

AJ Harma

First Vice President, Area Sales Manager | NMLS ID: 436354

With over 32 years in mortgage lending, I’ve held a range of positions, including mortgage loan officer, sales manager, regional manager, and business owner. I also hold a Real Estate Broker's license. My background and education have given me the tools to provide my customers with the guidance and advice of an experienced professional when facing the important decision of purchasing and financing a home. My goal is to ensure that my customers have a positive experience throughout the lending process, and the comfort of knowing I am here to assist long after closing.

As an active community member, I’ve served as a youth soccer coach, as a Trustee on the Richland Township Board of Trustees, and as the Treasurer of the Gull Lake Quality Organization. I am a graduate of Western Michigan University, have been married to the same wonderful woman for over 30 years, and have two amazing daughters.

I look forward to serving you.

"Your office is absolutely amazing! Thank you for reaching out to us and making this refinancing so easy! We both are novice when it comes to all of this and you guys were so patient and answered all of our silly questions. Not only were we able to lower our interest rate and payment, we were able to redo our budget which has us projected to pay off our 30 year mortgage in 20! You will continue to have our business and I tell people all the time how great you all are!"
