Meet Andre Atkins.
Founder & CEO | NMLS#261484
Andre Atkins is a nationally recognized leader in the mortgage industry, with over 15 years of proven success and a reputation for delivering results at the highest level. As the founder of Network Financial and the driving force behind the top-performing team at Barrett Financial, Andre has closed over $100 million in loan volume in the past 12 months alone, solidifying his place as one of the most trusted names in residential lending.
Andre’s career began in 2009 at Rocket Mortgage (formerly Quicken Loans), where he quickly rose to prominence, funding over $1.5 billion in total volume during his tenure. In 2012 and 2013, he was named #1 Presidents Club Banker in the region and held the title of top earner company-wide. He went on to excel at LoanDepot, earning the role of Executive Banker in just six months, before joining The Federal Savings Bank. There, he was recognized as a Top 10 Banker two years in a row and promoted to Assistant Senior Vice President in 2020.
In 2021, Andre became a Branch Manager with Leader One Financial, and by 2023, he launched his own branch under Groves Capital before building Network Financial into a powerhouse brand. Today, his team at Barrett Financial continues to set the standard for VA loans, first-time homebuyer programs, and high-volume production nationwide. Known for his relentless drive, deep industry knowledge, and elite client service, Andre treats mortgage lending not as a job, but a lifestyle, and his results reflect that mindset.
Above all, Andre is a dedicated father and proud family man, whose success is grounded in the support of his loved ones and his passion for helping others achieve the dream of homeownership.
