Blume joined Forward Bank in 2016 as the Office Manager in the Withee location. She has been driven to helping form connections between the bank and the community including outreach with the Owen-Withee High School athletes. As a Mortgage Lender, Blume will continue to serve home buyers and homeowners in Withee and will expand her presence in three additional communities.

“I’ve enjoyed serving the Withee community for the last 4 years and expanding relationships with our schools,” commented Sara Blume, Mortgage Lender at Forward Bank. “I’m looking forward to getting to know the realtors in the surrounding communities and helping home buyers move through the borrowing process quickly and easily.”

Blume spent four years in banking prior to joining the Forward team. She lives the mission by volunteering her time and talent photographing athletic events for the school. Blume enjoys watching the potential in our youth and hopes that she has helped them in some way in their lives.

“Sara has helped to expand Forward’s presence in the Owen-Withee area,” said Dave Clark, President of Forward Bank. “We know that she will take the community focus and drive to help our customers get into the homes of their dreams to the additional markets she will now serve.”
