Kim Katchur
Loan Officer
Starting in the mortgage lending industry as a processor, I have learned the business from start to finish. Over the past 13 years I have accomplished numerous milestones from being named Rookie of the Year in 2004 and top producer in my region for the next three years. Working with NOLA Lending has provided even more opportunity for growth and accomplishments. More loan programs, better interest rates, local processing and underwriting to name only a few. When not making loans, I enjoy working out and particularly love running the LSU lakes a couple of times each week. I love to take care of family and friends . . . and clients with the most important purchase of their life!
