Georgia Heritage Bank is excited to welcome Harry Smith to our team as the Vice President Lending. Mr. Smith brings 43 years of banking experience to our organization, most of which he spent in the Marietta/West Cobb area. Mr. Smith has established himself as a real estate lending professional in the metro Atlanta market. He has built a solid banking career by nurturing relationships with builders, real estate professionals, families and other construction entities.
“When Georgia Heritage Bank approached me about joining their team,” said Mr. Smith, “I sat down with them and discovered that their business philosophy was the same as mine – to build relationships first and then build business as a result when it is truly beneficial for the customer.” Bank President Genevieve Cole says, “As a locally owned community bank, we make decisions locally. We try to really get to know our customers and their businesses. We respect the vision that our customers have for their business and want to work with them to make it a reality. We pride ourselves on really being an advocate for our customers and community.” Mr. Smith began his banking career in 1973 at the Georgia Federal Savings and Loan Association. After ten years, he moved to the National Bank of Georgia as their Vice President of Construction Lending. In the years following, he has worked in an executive capacity in construction lending and real estate for The Chattahoochee Bank, Bank South, Riverside Bank and Bank of North Georgia.
