Michael Harman

Mike Harman is a Luther Graduate with a degree in business and economics. He worked nineteen years at Decorah State Bank/Community First National Bank as a mortgage lender, commercial lender, and president of the bank. "I have always enjoyed working with people, and in my time at the bank, nothing was more satisfying than helping a family purchase their dream home."

After nineteen years at the bank Mike decided to pursue other avenues. He started Harman Realty with his brother Mark in 2005. In 2011, Mike’s son, Ben, joined the Harman Realty Team. Mike and his family have a strong love for the Decorah Community. "Northeast Iowa is the closest thing to Colorado in the Midwest. We are not only blessed with scenic beauty, but wonderful people as well." Mike's current involvement includes: Treasurer of Winneshiek County Development and Decorah Jobs, Decorah Betterment Board Member, and Chamber member.

In recent years, Mike has served as Chair-Person for the Trout Run Trail, Water Street Park, and St. Benedict’s Church Addition Fundraisers. "Working with others to assure the Decorah Area continues to be vibrant and a main economic hub is a great motivational force."
