About Kara Uehran
I am a seasoned loan officer with more than 10 years of mortgage experience and I pride myself on customer experience. I know how stressful the home buying process can be as I always set realistic expectations and hope to make the process more enjoyable.
I grew up in a small town outside of Des Moines and I know the Iowa market extremely well. I'm always on the move with my daughter who keeps me on my toes. In my spare time, I enjoy bike riding and playing competitive volleyball. I hope to help you find a home and create lasting memories of your own!

The APR calculation is based on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage in the amount of $240,000 for the purchase of a single-family, primary residence with 80% loan-to-value (LTV) or 48,000% down payment, minimum borrower credit score of 740, and estimated points of 1% of the loan amount and origination fee of $1,295 with 360 monthly payments in the amount of $1,737.
