Fowler Team Honored as #1 Lender of 2024 at BankSouth Mortgage and Lake Oconee Country Board of Realtors’ Affiliate of the Year

In a remarkable year marked by excellence and community engagement, The Fowler Team at BankSouth Mortgage, led by the dynamic duo of Jerry and Kelli Fowler, has achieved two prestigious accolades:

• Named #1 Lender of 2024 at BankSouth Mortgage
• Recognized as Affiliate of the Year by the Lake Country Board of Realtors

These honors not only highlight the Fowlers’ outstanding business success but also underscore their dedication to partnership, purpose, and community.

Their inspiring journey began with Jerry Fowler, the first loan officer to join BankSouth Mortgage at its inception. Kelli later joined him as both a business partner and spouse, and together they have consistently ranked among the Top 5 Loan Officers at the company. In 2024, they not only maintained their reputation but also ascended to become the top lender companywide.

“Jerry and Kelli exemplify the ideal lending team that any organization aspires to have,” stated Kim Nelson, CEO of BankSouth Mortgage. “Their exceptional work ethic, passion for serving clients, and integrity foster lifelong relationships. When they succeed, our entire company and the communities we serve benefit alongside them.”

Their influence extends beyond just loan volume. This year, The Fowler Team was distinguished as Affiliate of the Year by the Lake Country Board of Realtors for their steadfast commitment to the real estate community. In 2024, they contributed to multiple sponsorships, attended numerous Agent Caravan Meetings, and co-hosted an impressive 62 Agent Open Houses. Kelli’s role as Programs/Events Chair and her participation on the RPAC Committee demonstrate their dedication to uplifting those around them.

“The Fowlers are leaders in every sense of the word, not just lenders,” remarked Mac Cregger, SVP of Sales. “They don’t merely close loans; they open doors for agents, homeowners, and our industry. Their success serves as a lesson in the power of combining passion with hard work.”

Clients consistently praise The Fowler Team for their responsiveness and genuine care. Whether assisting first-time homebuyers or guiding experienced real estate agents through intricate loan processes, Jerry and Kelli are known for their grace, speed, and precision in delivering results.

“It’s about more than just figures for us,” shared Kelli Fowler. “It’s about the people—families, dreams, and the trust they place in us. We feel incredibly thankful to be part of these transformative moments in their lives.”

With strong ties to Lake Country and a deep commitment to service, Jerry and Kelli lead with excellence and compassion. As a result, The Fowler Team has become not only top producers but also trusted allies for many in Greensboro, Lake Oconee, and beyond.

As BankSouth Mortgage celebrates these well-deserved accolades, one thing is evident: The Fowler Team is not only leading by example but is also setting a new standard in the industry.
