Q&A with Nikki Rodgers

What made you decide to be a BankSouth Loan Officer?

After completing my Accounting and Finance Degree, I went into banking and found a huge love for helping people. During my growth in community banking, I was given the opportunity to do lending and found it to be my favorite part of the job: Helping people become homeowners. This is when I knew that Mortgage Lending was for me! BankSouth Mortgage's commitment to local growth made it the perfect fit for me!

What makes you different than others in your profession?

The two things that differentiate me from others in this industry are my local knowledge and ability to relate with many people on a personal level. Having lived in the Valdosta area almost my whole life, I am familiar with the area and can help my customers feel at ease through the process.

What do you enjoy doing on weekends?

On the weekends, I enjoy spending time with friends and family. Whether on the ball field watching my kids play, in the outdoors hunting or fishing with my husband, or relaxing with friends. I cherish the memories I am able to create with the people around me.

What organizations are you or have been active in throughout your community?

I love my community and being involved with local organizations. Some of these include the local Homebuilders Association, Board of Realtors Association, Valdosta Junior Service League, and ministries within my church at Park Avenue Church.

If you could be anywhere than your home state, where would you want to be? Why?

If I could travel anywhere, it would be Greece. I have some Greek ancestry that I would love to explore, and the beautiful scenic pictures of the land make it an ideal destination for me.

Flashback to when you were 10 years old. What do you want to be when you grow up? Why?

At age 10, I wanted to be a doctor. I have always had a love for helping people and this seemed like the perfect way to do that.

Mortgage Market Interest Rates

Interest rates for mortgages can vary significantly from one borrower to the next based on the specific details of the transaction. Some of the main factors that affect the interest rate are credit score, down payment or loan-to-value, the type of mortgage, and how long the interest rate is locked.

The information below depicts average rates on a national level. These rates are not specific to BankSouth Mortgage but are provided to give a general idea of where rates are nationally for different loan types. This information is calculated from actual locked rates with customers across 35% of all mortgage transactions nationwide.

Nikki was outstanding to work with. As a realtor, she always does a great job with my clients and I never hesitate to refer her to anyone. Such a great job that I decided to trust her as my lender for my own personal transaction for my first investment. She goes above and beyond and I am so thankful for all that she did for us during the process! Thanks Nikki!

Nikki was absolutely phenomenal throughout the entire process! With this being my first time purchasing a home, I had no idea what this process was like. She made it so smooth, so efficient, and was so helpful every step of the way. We were able to close almost two weeks before the initial closing date because of how awesome she was! I could not have dreamed of a better experience.

I cannot begin to tell you how fortunate I was to find VA Specialist, Nikki Rodgers. When I found the house I wanted to buy I started contacting VA Specialists that I was familiar with in the past. Each one took some of my information and promised to get back with me as soon as possible. I guess they were not that interested. Some called back in 2 - 3 days and some not at all. after numerous times trying to call them, I was frustrated, to say the least. I then found Nikki Rodgers. When I called her she immediately started the normal questioning process and said she would get back with me soon. I was very pleased whn she called me back the same day and said that she had started the process for me to purchase the home. The entire process with Nikki was outstanding! Nikki kept me informed every step of the way and answered my questions the same day without hesitation. Nikki was actually like a "Breath of Fresh Air" compared to all the other VA Specialists I had tried to work with. Nikki Rodgers, I want to thank you and your team at BankSouth for a very smooth process in purchasing this home. I most deffinitely will recommend you to other potential buyers and should I need to purchase another home in the future, you will be my first contact! Thank you so very much, Michael Smith
