Paula Kahr, Senior Loan Officer


Paula is available to work with customers on a wide range of mortgage options, including primary homes, second homes, construction loans, multifamily properties, investment properties and refinancing. 

I have been a customer for a while.  I put out feelers to other banks for this loan but nothing came back as favorable as what I could get at Salem Five.  Mrs. Kahr was wonderful to work with.  She made herself available to me any time of the day.  When I was in Tokyo near closing she went the extra mile to get in touch with a realtor I had used and persevered until the loan closed and closed on time.  I would be happy to tell others of my satisfaction with Salem Five.

Highly likely to recommend

“My husband and I were anxious to be house hunting in a crazy market, but start to finish Karen calmed our nerves with her extensive market knowledge, candor, and sensible advice. I was unfamiliar with the Boston metro area, and found Karen's YouTube channel (Boston and the 'Burbs) incredibly helpful and informative. She brought a practical mindset, enthusiasm, and warmth that we really appreciated. Would strongly recommend!”
