Lindsay Barbera, CMB, AMP, CMS, will lead Atlantic Bay\u2019s Louisiana team as Area Sales Manager. A Baton Rouge native and LSU graduate, Barbera has spent more than 20 years in Louisiana\u2019s mortgage industry, cultivating relationships across the state\u2019s business and housing communities throughout a career spanning servicing, operations, product development, and sales. She will report to Atlantic Bay\u2019s EVP and Southern Regional Manager, Christopher Brown.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cGrowing in Louisiana isn\u2019t about showing up with a playbook. It\u2019s about understanding the people, earning trust and being part of the community,\u201d said Barbera. \u201cAtlantic Bay brings an incredible culture and support system that gives our team more ways to serve homebuyers and industry partners. Put that together with a team that understands Louisiana, and I think we have a strong foundation for long-term success.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLouisiana is a natural next step in Atlantic Bay\u2019s growth across the South,\u201d shared Brown. \u201cWe want our Mortgage Bankers to have the infrastructure and resources to compete at a high level without losing the local relationships and personal approach that have made them successful in the first place. Lindsay knows this market, knows its people and knows what it takes to grow here.\u201d<\/p>\n
