Forward Bank is proud to welcome Jamie Eckes as a Mortgage Lender serving the Northwoods community from our St. Germain location. Jamie brings with her a strong financial background, a warm approach to customer service, and a passion for helping families achieve their dream of homeownership.
Originally from a small town in southwest Kansas, Jamie’s journey has taken her across the country from Arizona to Florida and now to the heart of Wisconsin’s Northwoods. After several visits to the area to see family, she made Eagle River her permanent home in 2022.
Eckes holds a Master of Business Administration from Keller Graduate School of Management. Her education, paired with hands-on experience in underwriting and customer service, gives her a strong foundation to support homebuyers through the lending process with clarity and confidence.
“Joining Forward means being part of something bigger, helping our neighbors move forward in life, and being there through every step of the homebuying journey,” said Eckes. “I’m excited to serve the Northwoods communities and build relationships that last.”
Eckes is active in the community, coaching youth sports and enjoying all that the area has to offer, from fishing and snowmobiling to local dining and cheering on her favorite sports teams. She and her husband, Kevin, share their home with their spirited dog, Boomer, and are excited to build lasting connections in the Northwoods community.
“Jamie’s dedication to her community and her ability to connect with people make her a great fit for the Forward family,” said Bill Sennholz, CEO of Forward Bank. “Her experience and warmth will make a real difference for our customers in the Northwoods looking to take the next step in homeownership.”
