Bringing 30-plus years of industry experience to Evergreen, Dana Klarr will assist with expansion efforts across Arizona and neighboring markets

Evergreen Home Loans has appointed veteran mortgage executive Dana Klarr as area manager based in Arizona, part of a broader strategy to accelerate growth and strengthen its presence across the Southwest.

Klarr brings more than 30 years of mortgage lending experience, including leadership roles focused on production growth, operational management, and team development. Her appointment comes as Evergreen invests in expanding its regional infrastructure, product offerings, and technology platform to support loan officers and branch leadership teams.

In her new role, Klarr will oversee expansion efforts across Arizona and neighboring markets, with responsibilities that include recruiting experienced loan officers and branch managers, building high-performing teams, and driving production growth. Company leadership said her background in cultivating disciplined, performance-oriented organizations aligns with Evergreen’s long-term strategy to grow its footprint in key regional markets.

“Dana’s experience and leadership will play an important role in our continued momentum in Arizona and surrounding areas,” said Joe Moley, executive vice president and divisional manager at Evergreen Home Loans.

Evergreen’s leadership emphasized that strengthening its local management team is central to attracting experienced originators and supporting sustainable growth, particularly in competitive and fast-growing markets such as Arizona. By reinforcing leadership and infrastructure at the regional level, the company aims to provide mortgage professionals with greater stability, resources, and long-term career opportunities.

Headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, Evergreen Home Loans operates as a full-service direct lender licensed in 29 states, with more than 56 branch locations nationwide. The company offers a range of mortgage products, including conventional, FHA, VA, jumbo, USDA, refinance, and construction loans, and has maintained a national presence for more than 38 years.
