“While the digital foundation we’ve established has certainly played a role in Mid America’s ability to achieve turn time of one to two business days, the backbone of that technology is our team of highly experienced underwriters,” said Mid America Owner and Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bode. “Katherine’s impressive track record for quickly, accurately and securely closing loans not only helps us preserve that standard of service but also expands our capacity to handle even greater loan volumes. We are confident in Katherine’s ability to amplify our underwriting efforts and proudly welcome her to the Mid America team.”
Bringing more than 30 years of mortgage experience to her new role, Carlsen has ensured the success of her teams by leading dedicated training, coaching and development initiatives to enhance their skills.

“I’ve spent my career preparing underwriters for the unique challenges the mortgage market presents and maintaining a knowledgeable, service-oriented team means that employee engagement, hands-on training and coaching are essential for a lender’s success,” said Carlsen. “Mid America is a prime example of these principles in action. The team is full of mortgage professionals that are well-equipped and eager to meet the needs of an ever-changing industry, and I look forward to leading the underwriting division to even higher levels of efficiency and excellence.”
