In 2022 Erica founded Bak Financial LLC, a mortgage brokerage specializing in investment property loans. She has worked in financial services for ten years, and the mortgage industry for the past five years..
She received her Bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan Ann Arbor and started her career as a news reporter, living in New York City writing for Dow Jones. She eventually moved back to southeast Michigan, working in the financial services industry as an account executive first for asset manager Flexible Plan Investments and then for lender United Wholesale Mortgage.
Learning the mortgage industry at UWM, she realized helping clients buy and utilize real estate was her passion. She left UWM to get her own loan officer license and opened her own brokerage, Bak Financial LLC.
Nowadays, Erica lives in West Bloomfield with her three teenage kids, partner Chris, and two orange cats. In her downtime you can find her just decompressing on the couch watching reality TV or driving her kids around to school and activities.
