Kelly Levens, a loan officer with Atlantic Home Mortgage, has a deep understanding of the homebuying process. As a former Realtor himself, he knows the value lenders who can help clients write strong and competitive offers. “Making myself readily available and establishing a fluid, trusting relationship is what I strive for,” he says.

Levens transitioned to Atlantic Home Mortgage two years ago and, in such a crowded marketplace, he feels fortunate to work with a local company that provides the tools needed to stand out. At Atlantic Home Mortgage, all loans are underwritten and processed completely in house. “A smooth and easy process is not only a win for each client that I get to work with, but a big win for the Realtors as well,” Levens says.

And though he is still trying to figure out how he did not win Best Dressed, Levens agrees: “Loan Officer of the Year does have a nice ring to it!”

He lives in Atlanta with his wife Tamara and their four beautiful children.
