Ivy Eilerman was born in Savannah, GA. She grew up in Rincon, GA, the oldest daughter in a family of 6 children. In 2001, she stumbled into her first job in the lending industry, handling cash-out refinance business for a mortgage company in Savannah. "It was a natural fit. Knowing I was offering a service that could help struggling families meant a lot to me," says Ivy. This satisfied an inherent need to help people, and it's been the guiding force since then.
