As a Roanoke, VA native who attended Virginia Western Community College while working two jobs, Ernie Chandler always understood the value of hard work and dedication. As the Branch Manager and Senior Loan Officer at OVM Financial, Inc., his own hard work has certainly paid off! He has led the charge in bringing OVM’s great lending options to his Roanoke clients and continues to expand his local lending team. His ability to make his clients feel at ease, as well as his ability to think outside the box, has earned him a stellar reputation among his clientele. Ernie not only values his customers - but he also values his employees, and strives to create an environment that is full of support and collaboration. He attributes his team’s enormous success and growth to his strategic alliances with realtors, referral partners, and happy clients who appreciate OVM’s commitment to service. When he’s not busy helping his clients, he enjoys acting, spending time with friends and family, beach escapes, and taking an occasional cruise to the Caribbean.
