About Andy Adkins
Advice for New Home Buyers
Enjoy the process and have fun looking for your new home! I’ll make the lending part simple, fun and easy. Stay positive and know you will find the perfect place at just the right time. When you find the perfect one, write the seller a letter about why you and your family are perfect for the home and how you will fill it with love, joy and take awesome care of it!! Believe me, they care and this will make you stand out.
Fantastic man, easy to work with and would pound my fist on the table to vouch for him
“I got in touch with Andy a little over a year ago. The man was easy to talk to, calm, patient and extremely knowledgable- a perfect combo for a first time homebuyer. For the first time, I genuinely felt that a lender was working for you and not the bank. Unfortunately, I didn't end up closing a new construction home with Andy as the buyer had a preferred lender, and I would have lost on the closing cost assistance. In fact, my current lender asked me to leave a 5-star review, and I couldn't do it without leaving a 10-star review for Andy because he was honestly that much better than our current lender. Just to leave you with a thought- over the course of our discussions around the closing cost assitance with the other lender, I thought of letting go of the closing cost assistance just to have Andy as our lender- He is that good, and super easy to talk to and work with. Typically, lenders request people to review, but here, it was the other way around. I requested Andy share a review link so that I could express my appreciation—this is well after our closing with our other lender. Looking forward to working with Andy again, whenever the time's right for a refinance. @Andy- you are the best I have worked with, and thank you! ”

Andy Adkins is incredible
“My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Andy on our most recent home purchase. He communicated frequently, answered our calls and texts every time we had a question, took the time to explain things, looked for the best rate and fought for us to close earlier than the closing attorney was saying we could close. He saved us close to $2000 in moving expenses by getting us an earlier closing. I cannot say enough great things about Andy and our experience with him! ”
—Lisa Astin from Atlanta, GA
Phenomenal!
“My wife and I have worked with Andy twice over the last four years for two different home purchases, with our most recent purchase having closed in February 2025. Our first encounter with Andy and NBKC back in 2021 was so positive, he was the first person I called when we found ourselves back on the market. Andy is a rockstar in his field. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient, quick to respond, and always on top of his game. Most importantly, he brings a genuine, human element to the table. It’s so refreshing to work with someone who genuinely cares for and enjoys working with people; who works hard to ensure they are taken care of. For as long as Andy is at NBKC, he will continue to be our first point of contact whenever we find ourselves with lending needs.”

Stellar Service
“Loved working with Andy. I can't think of anything he could've done better. He was quick to explain everything, quick to answer every text, email or call, and he let me know when he was taking a vacation. He handed me off to a competent colleague while he was away and followed up as soon as he was back. I'm sure he's working with a bunch of folks at all times but I felt like I was the only customer, such was his attentiveness.”
—Dave from Birmingham, AL

Outstanding Experience
“We had an amazing experience working with Andy! From start to finish, he was there for us every step of the way, always quick to respond and ready to answer any questions we had. His professionalism and dedication made the home buying process smooth and stress free. We’re so glad we had him as our lender and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!”

Held my hand all throughout the process
“buying a home was such a scary daunting process for me. fortunately for me, Andy was by my side the whole time. he has been a tremendous help in this whole process and keeping my anxiety at bay. 10/10 would recommend to everyone I know.”
—Pablo G from Chicago, IL
Very thorough AND Patient!
“First time homebuyer with many, many questions. Andy was patient and encouraging and never made us feel like our questions were stupid or a bother. He ran a ton of different scenarios for us, answered things for us multiple times (in multiple ways when it just didn't click for us), and let me check in probably a little too often! He was very knowledgeable, and we would absolutely recommend. He was trustworthy and when it's time for us to go through that process again, we want him again! ”

Get to know Andy
What is your motto or personal mantra?
What you focus on grows, so focus daily on the positive outcomes you desire in your life and they will absolutely come true.
What is something that people would be surprised if they knew about you?
I make an award-winning cherry pie from scratch. As a kid, my grandmother Helen always made me one every time I went to the farm to visit. She never had a recipe written down so when she lost her memory, I lost the best pie ever made. Store pies are awful, so I researched and tried tons of recipes before finally finding one that was close. After a few tweaks I had it and won 2 pie contests with it! I use her old rolling pin when I make the crust. Thanks Grandma!!
