ACADEMY MORTGAGE
When Adam Kessler took the reins at Academy Mortgage in 2005, he decided the company wasn’t going to follow the fast-and-loose practices that were netting big profits for some in the industry. By focusing instead on sustainable lending, Academy grew while many companies were folding during the financial crisis. Today, Academy is one of the top independent purchase lenders in the nation, boasting more than 200 branch offices across the country and licenses in 48 states.
