Aaron Veres

GA/FL Loan officer

Aaron was born for the financial world. Growing up around his father’s mortgage company and his favorite book being a sudoku puzzle book, numbers has always been a second language to him. He spent his first two years in college at Georgia College & State University and then finished up his schooling at Kennesaw State University in 2019. He graduated with Cum Laude and walked away with a diploma in finance. His age does not reflect the amount of experience he has in the mortgage industry. Working for his father for many years Aaron decided to become a licensed loan officer in the summer of 2018. With a hunger for business, and the desire to help others, Aaron makes sure every client gets in the home of their dreams in a short amount of time.
