Tennessee Market Leader

Led by Chris Kloc — a Top 1% National Loan Officer who served 176 families in 2025 alone. A man of faith, a husband, a father, and a relentless producer. Together, you'll build something that outlasts both of you.
At Element, we believe the best deals are built on genuine relationships. The Champagne Perdomo CIGAR tradition represents the moments where business meets brotherhood — where handshakes are sealed with trust, shared values, and a commitment to something greater than the transaction.
"Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another."
— Proverbs 27:17
