Veteran loans hold a special meaning to Flores, who served 26 years in the Indiana Army National Guard with two combat tours in Iraq in 2003 and 2008. His specialty has made him the go-to advisor for veteran home financing needs. Before joining Nations, Flores spent more than 10 years as a senior mortgage consultant at Union Home Mortgage. Last year he produced more than $23 million in loan volume production. 

“I chose to work at Nations Lending because the company’s mission is to treat every customer as a person, not a number,” Flores said. “My goal is to educate veterans, Realtors, and sellers in order to help our country’s heroes realize the benefits that they sacrificed so much for. Nations allows me to continue achieving that goal.” 

“Eric is one of the best lenders in Indiana and a true hero,” said Tim Dowling, Midwest regional manager. “He’s motivated and dedicated to helping his community, which makes him a natural fit here at Nations Lending.”
