Lisa Gabbert
Lisa is the Vice President and Loan Originator at Merchants Bank of Indiana, a leading national multi-family housing mortgage company. Her mortgage career started as an experiment. Lisa entered the industry in the mid-1980s as a 25-year-old with no mortgage experience or even an idea of how the process goes. Those were the days when you were handed a book on FNMA, FHA, and VA guidelines, and that’s it for training. She said this was far from helpful for a young loan officer who’s just learning the ropes. Despite a difficult start, Lisa got through this steep learning curve with the help of her mentors.

I enjoy interacting with my clients and learning about their life and business. I am thrilled when a client comes back to us for a new mortgage. As a bank loan originator, we can offer mortgages in most states. I enjoy learning about the difference in real estate markets. I am a real estate junkie. As I speak with a client, I am looking up the property address. Living vicariously through other clients’ purchases is a lot of fun.
