Top Dogs! Atlantic Bay 3-Peats as 2025’s “#1 Best Large Mortgage Company to Work For.”

Success is never a solo sprint at Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group®—it’s a team effort. For 28+ years, we’ve built a culture where collaboration, trust, and passionate positivity lead the way.

From Corporate to Sales to Operations, every member of our pack plays a vital role in making homeownership a reality for so many. And as we celebrate another incredible milestone, we know one thing for sure: when we win, we win together.

We’re proud to announce that for the third year in a row, our team has been named the “#1 Best Large Mortgage Company to Work For.”

National Mortgage News (NMN) recognizes companies every year that prioritize workplace excellence, employee satisfaction, and cultivating an environment where people feel valued. The ranking is based on extensive employee feedback, making it a true reflection of what it means to be part of Atlantic Bay.

The nomination period opened in September 2024, gathering assessments to recognize companies that put their people first. Rankings are based on in-depth surveys and employer reports, covering leadership, culture, job satisfaction, growth opportunities, benefits, and overall engagement.

Having previously earned NMN’s lofty distinction for employers of 500+ in 2021, 2023, and 2024, we feel vindicated to know that when you put people first, success will certainly follow.

In a business where change has become one of the only constants, we remain steadfast in what truly matters most—our approach to lending, the neighborhoods we call home, and the commitments we’ve upheld since brothers Brian and Stan Holland opened our doors all the way back in 1996.

“Words cannot express how proud I am to be a part of this amazing team,” shares Atlantic Bay CEO Brian. “Nearly 29 years of genuine care, inspiring growth and having fun continues to be the reason for our success and incredible environment.”

Through every challenge and triumph, our team’s unwavering dedication has made all the difference. But as any person, let alone lender, will tell you, the past few years have been… well, rough.

Yet for us, 2024 was a year to regain our footing, give back, and make an even bigger lasting impression on the communities where we live and work.

A shared all-hand-on deck approach allowed us to serve more than 11,000 homeowners and complete 2,000 E-Closings. We cut our average time to close to under 26 days—less than half the national average—while maintaining a stellar customer satisfaction score.

And now, as we turn our attention to the rest of 2025, one thing is clear—the future looks brighter than ever.

We’re committed to delivering best-in-show experiences to our team members, our industry friends, and most importantly, our clients. After all, when you love where you work, peace of mind is a guarantee.

We want to extend a big congratulations to all the companies recognized this year. Creating a constructive, confident, and inclusive workplace culture is no small feat, and it takes everyone to make it happen. We’re proud to stand alongside other great organizations making a difference in the industry we love.
