PrivatePlus Mortgage, a division of National Bank of Commerce, has named Lisa Sikes a Loan Officer Assistant. She is based in PrivatePlus’ new Savannah office.

“Lisa is very focused on each client’s unique needs, very detail-oriented and takes pride in providing all-around great customer service, which makes her a good addition to our team,” says Dean Phillips, Vice President and South Georgia Production Manager of PrivatePlus.

She has broad experience across banking and the mortgage industry, spanning more than 30 years, which helps make the transaction as smooth as possible for a wide range of clients. That experience and longevity also has helped her hone her listening skills, she says, so she can make sure she is placing a client in the product that suits them best.

Originally from St. Marys, Georgia – which she proudly notes is the second-oldest city in the U.S. – Sikes prides herself on being, “a people person who is creative, efficient and highly organized. The dream to own a home is still strong, and I enjoy helping people achieve that.”

Away from work, she enjoys spending time with family and friends and has one daughter, a son-in-law and three grandchildren, as well as a Dachshund, Sophie, rescued from the Humane Society. Sikes resides in Pooler and enjoys the beach, boating and sports.
