At Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group®, we work together, and we celebrate our successes together. That includes our entire team—from Corporate to Sales to Operations—plus all the families and new homeowners we’ve had the pleasure of getting to know for the last 27 years.  

That’s why we’re excited to announce that National Mortgage News (NMN) has named us the 2024 “#1 Best Large Mortgage Company to Work For.”  

It’s an incredible honor to find our name on the sixth annual list of companies supporting 500 or more employees. Such a lofty distinction reaffirms that our yearly efforts to lend peace of mind to the home loan process have positioned us among some of the industry’s best.  

In 2023, our team was awarded the “#1 Best Large Mortgage Company to Work For” and #2 overall “Best Mortgage Company to Work For” distinctions from NMN. And we were privileged to have earned the same rankings in 2021. Our people make the difference, creating a holistically inclusive culture that cultivates success and growth.  

NMN, an “award-winning and comprehensive digital resource serving the entire residential mortgage industry” in its own right, clarifies that its award is dedicated to those “lenders that are supportive employers while also supplying them with employee feedback on their strengths and weaknesses.”  

In a year where much of our industry is facing a transition, with or without choice, we’re standing firm in our day-one commitments to our team members and the communities in which we work, live, and thrive in. And the Atlantic Bay Pure Sales model is how we can remain competitive for all homebuyers throughout our footprint.  

The recently installed Pure Sales model was carefully designed to support Atlantic Bay Mortgage Bankers from day one with advantages like a state-of-the-art tech stack and dedicated operations team for each new loan file. Landing new relationships while fostering existing ones is a huge industry priority. Pure Sales means our entire team, from the top down, helps other professionals optimize their existing business to better serve current and future homeowners, even in the most challenging environments.

Why? Because strong support breeds real results.

“The sales retreats, the trainings, the weekly emails, and actual people interacting and answering questions. Every person I’ve talked to in this company is super helpful,” shares Mortgage Banker Bryan Austin. "You ask them a question; they give you their phone number. You can text and call them; they’ve put me in their group messages. They allow me to be a part of their gatherings just to learn and glean information. And they’re genuinely invested in my success.”

Since our inception in December 1996, we’ve served our communities with great loan products, superior customer service, and proficient market expertise. We didn’t call our one-team approach to lending “Pure Sales” then, but we’ve always been a trusted lender in our communities. And we’ve stayed true to our core values throughout our more than 27 years of operation.  

As of March 2024, we’ve assisted more than 179,660 families in achieving their greatest homeownership dreams while earning a 97.05 customer satisfaction score. 

Congratulations to each of this year’s nominees and winners. And congratulations to the Atlantic Bay team for loving what you do while making a difference. Your passionate positivity shows!   

Since our inception in December 1996 by brothers Brian and Stan Holland, we’ve served our communities with great loan products, superior customer service, and proficient expertise.
