In 2022 Erica founded Bak Financial LLC, a mortgage brokerage specializing in investment property and primary loans. She has worked in financial services for ten years, and the mortgage industry for the past six 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 as an account executive first for asset manager Flexible Plan Investments and then for lender United Wholesale Mortgage.
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.
