Who We Are

BankSouth Mortgage delivers a first-class mortgage experience, providing better options for borrowers with competitive products, state-of-the-art technology, and extraordinary mortgage lenders.

We’re proud of our reputation in the mortgage industry as a strong, thorough, and driven company that serves its customers, partners, and communities with excellence and integrity.

BankSouth Mortgage is backed by BankSouth, one of the top-performing community banks in the nation. In 2008, Kim Nelson founded LoanSouth Mortgage which quickly became a thriving company. Then, in 2011, a partnership was born when Kim Nelson and Harold Reynolds, President and CEO of BankSouth, realized that the two companies complemented each other with aligned strategic goals, vision, and principles.  As a result, BankSouth Mortgage became a BankSouth subsidiary and today closes over $1 billion in home loans annually and employs over 113 people.

Over the years, BankSouth has worked to provide greater market coverage and comprehensive products and services, building its brand reputation on a promise of mortgage distinction.  “Our people are the most valuable part of our business. We do the work to make sure each of our professionals is equipped with everything they need to be successful: technology, operations, loan products, and more,” states Kim Nelson, CEO. “Our focus is on delivering quality service and products with the benefits of the latest technologies in the industry.  Come and experience mortgage excellence!”
