This feature is a question-and-answer session with a new Blount County Chamber member. So, here we go with our 230th installment visiting with Keith Edmonds, branch manager with AnnieMac Home Mortgages which helps families realize homeownership by guiding them through the process by providing the best options.

Describe what AnniMac does. We help clients understand their options for buying or refinancing their home, for primary, second, or investment homes.

How did you get started? I started working in the financial services industry immediately after graduating from Maryville College in 2007.

What is your background? I have always enjoyed helping people and working with numbers. These traits, along with my education and continuous desire to learn and be the best at what I’m doing has allowed me to be a real asset for my clients.

Describe your customers. My clients are individuals and families looking for their first home, to move into a larger home for a growing family, to purchase a home to be closer to their family or passion, or those who would like to invest in their future with an investment property.

What do you enjoy most about this profession? The most rewarding aspect of my job and business is seeing the excitement of clients when they get to purchase their dream home.
