Congratulations – Stephanie Ebach on your Retirement with eLendingNow
This will be the first morning in nearly 24 years that I come to the office and Steph won’t be there.
Steph joined eLendingNow in 2003 and quickly became a key part of our team. Her daily dedication to customer service, helping clients achieve homeownership, and contributing to the culture at eLendingNow was always among her top priorities.
Over the years, the mortgage industry threw just about everything imaginable at us. But if you know Steph, you know she’s never been one to back down from a challenge. From the Housing Crash of 2008, the Bismarck and Minot floods of 2011, and countless market cycles in between, nothing could deter her determination to stand strong, rise above, and be ready for whatever came next.
Steph always made her clients the top priority. She insisted on clear, timely communication throughout the entire home financing process and expected the same level of commitment from everyone around her. That dedication helped build the trust and connections that defined her career.
Now, Steph begins an exciting new chapter filled with time spent with her husband, Darren, making memories with her grandchildren, and enjoying as many vacations as she can fit on the calendar.
While retirement marks the end of your career with eLendingNow, it certainly doesn't mark the end of our friendship. Thank you for the years of partnership, laughter, and support. The office won't be quite the same without you.
We are incredibly grateful for the years we’ve shared and the impact you’ve had on all of us. We’re even more excited for the opportunities and adventures that lie ahead for you.
Congratulations and Thank You for the many years of service to eLendingNow, for the impact you’ve had on this company, and for the countless clients, coworkers, and friends you’ve touched along the way. We wish you nothing but happiness and success in your retirement.
-David A. Weikum, President
