Home State Bank
MCPHERSON, Kan. — Home State Bank commercial loan officer Bernadette Hiebert will soon add a new role to her workday – mortgage loan officer.
Jennifer Driskill, vice president at The Citizens State Bank, made the announcement last week and said that the new assignment would take place quickly.
“As the bank’s new mortgage officer, I will be working to build our real estate department in McPherson by getting to know the realtors in the community,” Hiebert said. “I plan to meet with my existing customers about my new role and be more present within the community.”
Hiebert brings an extensive background to her new position. Prior to starting at Home State Bank, she worked in banking for 12 years in a variety positions, which culminated as a mortgage lending assistant. She then pursued a career as a realtor in Hutchinson for four years.
“I think my past experience set me up perfectly to take on this new position,” Hiebert said. “I worked as a realtor for four years helping sellers and buyers. I also worked with first time homebuyers helping them through the process and taking the stress away from such a large transaction.”
Driskill said that with Hiebert’s extensive background she was a strong candidate for the mortgage loan officer position.
“Bernadette brings a unique skillset to the position because she’s worked both sides of the transaction process,” Driskill said. “We think she will make a seamless transition into the mortgage loan officer role, while still managing commercial lending needs of clients.”
Hiebert will office at the bank’s 223 N. Main location.
