Karolyn Cooper

Karolyn began her retail banking career in 1997, joining the Arvest mortgage lending team in 2004. She is originally from north central Arkansas and graduated from the University of Central Arkansas in Conway. She holds a Bachelor of Business Administration in finance and business management.

Community involvement has been a life-long commitment for Karolyn. She is a member of the lender’s advisory council for the Arkansas Development Finance Authority and provides affordable housing services for her clients and their families. She is also a member of the Rotary Club and is grateful to be a part of a community that supports those in need. Karolyn is a level 1 coach for the local youth mountain biking team and the National Interscholastic Cycling Association. She and her husband Brandon are active members of Redeemer Lutheran Church in Mountain Home, and enjoy hiking, off-roading and spending time fly-fishing on the beautiful White River.

Karolyn’s goal is to deliver the best possible home loan experience for her customers and referral partners. It starts with her commitment to excellence; to make the home loan process convenient, streamlined and personal for every client. As our chairman, Jim Walton, shares: “Over the years, we have changed and grown dramatically, but our commitment to helping our customers buy homes has never wavered from the intentions of our founder at the very beginning of Arvest”.
