Atlantic Bay Is *Officially* Expanding to Louisiana

Looking for a mortgage lender in Baton Rouge with local expertise and the resources of an established lender behind it? Well, do we have some good news for you…

Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group® is opening its first Louisiana branch in Baton Rouge, bringing local expertise together with the technology, resources, and support of an established, multi-state lender. It's part of a broader push across the South, and it means Louisiana homebuyers now have a team that thrives on lending peace of mind.

Leading the new team is seasoned mortgage vet, Lindsay Barbera, CMB, AMP, CMS. She's spent more than 20 years in Louisiana's home industry (LSU grad, Baton Rouge native) cultivating relationships across the state's business and housing communities along the way. Her background spreads across servicing, operations, product development, and sales, and she'll report to Atlantic Bay's EVP and Southern Regional Manager, Christopher Brown.

"Growing in Louisiana isn't about showing up with a playbook. It's about understanding the people, earning trust and being part of the community," Lindsay shared.

Atlantic Bay brings an incredible culture and support system that gives our team more ways to serve homebuyers and industry partners. Put that together with a team that understands Louisiana, and I think we have a strong foundation for long-term success.

And Chris agrees emphatically. "Louisiana is a natural next step in Atlantic Bay's growth across the South," he explained. "We want our Mortgage Bankers to have the infrastructure and resources to compete at a high level without losing the local relationships and personal approach that have made them successful in the first place. Lindsay knows this market, knows its people and knows what it takes to grow here."

We got our start in Virginia Beach way back in 1996 as a four-person startup. Since then, we’ve grown into a multi-state lender with more than 100 branches and 600-plus employees, with a footprint that stretches across Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, and (now) Louisiana. Along the way, National Mortgage News named Atlantic Bay its #1 Best Large Mortgage Company to Work For, four years running. Just this year, 61 Atlantic Bay Mortgage Bankers earned spots on Scotsman Guide's Top Originators list. The momentum hasn't slowed either. Atlantic Bay has added 12 new team members since July, including Justin Atterberry, who's leading the company's growth in Texas.
