Amber Ernst – Thrive Under 35
Amber Ernst has been with New American Funding for four years and works in the Bettendorf, Iowa, branch as a Sales Manager and Senior Loan Consultant (NMLS #406037). Her current role involves building real estate agent partnerships and matching customers with unique loan options that fit their needs. She also coaches her team to commit to helping people in every way possible. She chose to come to New American Funding because she saw the opportunity to grow her business and her team.
In her free time, Amber enjoys:
- Spending time with her husband and kids – they are her world! On weekends, she always tries to devote a couple of hours a day to work and catch up on her to-do list, but the rest of the time, she spends with them.
- She also enjoys horseback riding. When she was younger, she used to barrel race horses and she won all-around high point at the age of 13.
- Amber’s favorite travel destination is Florida. Any destination that has a beach, is her happy place!
- Amber also enjoys running and camping.
“New American Funding has allowed me to grow my team,” said Amber. “They give me ideas and the support to select the right people for the right jobs. Together, we succeed while still having fun. They help me when I’m not having a great day and push me to be the best I can be. Without them, I wouldn’t be able to do what I do.”
Amber’s experience as a New American Funding team member has been wonderful so far. She has built relationships with many great people, has come to respect and trust the leadership, feels empowered to make decisions to grow her team, and to be able to thrive at the organization.
“I can do my job and still have fun because of the cutting-edge technology New American Funding offers,” said Amber. “We are able to work whenever we want from wherever we are. Between the online preapprovals, texting, and working from home when needed – we are able to provide full service to our clients without necessarily needing to be in the office.”
Amber enjoys building relationships with the individuals on her team and thinks they are the best part of being in the New American Funding family.
“The job can be difficult at times, but my co-workers make all the difference,” she said.
Amber’s goal is to continue to grow her team. She finds the leadership and coaching she has received at New American Funding extremely valuable and personally rewarding. Her goal is to empower her team, so she never loses focus on what matters to her most while her business grows. Her job can be overwhelming at times, but she works hard AND takes time for herself and her family, which she considers a top priority! Amber is grateful for what New American Funding has done for her and will always be appreciative.
