HeritageBank of the South announces the addition of local lender, Erin McDonald, to the Bank’s Award Winning Mortgage team.

A seasoned Mortgage Officer, McDonald began her career in the housing industry as a real estate agent for Walden & Kirkland Realty in Albany, Georgia. As a licensed realtor, she served the local community for several years before joining SunTrust Mortgage as a Loan Originator in 2003. Since that time, McDonald has become one of the area’s most respected Mortgage Originators among both real estate agents and home buyers.

“Erin is a native of the area and is well respected in the market. This, combined with her years of experience in both real estate sales and mortgage lending, made her the ideal choice for our Mortgage team,” says Derek Watkins, Senior Vice President Mortgage Lending.

McDonald is a native of Leesburg, Georgia where she resides with her husband, VJ, and sons, Gavin and Jordon. McDonald is also an equine enthusiast and is a member of several local horse clubs including Horseman’s Quarter Horse Association and the Dougherty County Saddle Club.
