Andrew Deyo Joins NEXA Lending, Promoting Growth and Networking Opportunities
Andrew Deyo Joins NEXA Lending
Andrew Deyo has officially been welcomed into the NEXA Lending family, bringing with him a remarkable history in fostering growth and development. His career journey began in the United States Army, where he dedicated 13 years and emerged as one of the Army's top recruiters. This foundational experience instilled in him a deep understanding of mentorship and people-skills, setting the stage for a successful transition into the mortgage industry.
Once he entered the mortgage realm, Deyo quickly climbed the ranks, transforming from a novice to a top-producing loan officer, generating a staggering $280 million in annual production through his own branch. His unique approach in both the military and mortgage industries has been rooted in the belief that when talented individuals are given the right tools and opportunities, they will flourish.
Now, at NEXA Lending, Deyo joins a group that is expected to generate approximately $100 million in annual mortgage production. His anticipated individual contribution for this year hovers around $60 million. However, what truly excites Deyo is not just the numbers; it's the culture and opportunity at NEXA that resonated with his personal philosophy of empowerment.
Deyo had evaluated several opportunities in the market, weighing their potential against NEXA's offerings. He shared, "NEXA's model was clean and compelling. I wanted to see how much I could build over the long term, not just what I could make on day one." He felt a strong alignment with NEXA's mission, which emphasizes giving professionals autonomy, support, and incentives to excel.
Central to Deyo's vision at NEXA is the Business Development Marketing (BDM) program. This innovative initiative aims to facilitate business relationships and expand outreach opportunities for those involved. Deyo intends to bring significant energy to this program, aiming to maximize its potential. "I've seen firsthand what happens when you empower the right people with the right economics. Many have doubled their businesses under the right circumstances," Deyo stated enthusiastically.
His passion for the BDM program is echoed by NEXA's CEO, Geri Farr, who sees Deyo's access to such opportunities as vital for growth within the company. "Andrew has a natural ability to recognize possibilities and create environments where people can excel. His vision aligns perfectly with our goals at NEXA," Farr explained.
Deyo’s experience and history with mentor Krystal Stearns, who is now also a teammate at NEXA, is a testament to his commitment to learning and growing within the mortgage business. After initially starting as a broker, he took the initiative to dive deeper into the intricacies of the industry by joining a high-producing team led by Stearns. The guidance he received played a pivotal role in shaping his career trajectory.
Reflecting on his journey, Deyo shared, "I walked into Krystal's living room with countless questions, and she generously showed me the ropes as she worked on loans and cared for her family." That learning environment propelled him toward leadership roles, where he later built a nine-figure mortgage operation, driven by a philosophy centered on collaboration and empowerment.
For NEXA's founder and executive partner Mike Kortas, Deyo exemplifies the kind of leadership that will not only advance his own production but also elevate those around him. "Building something substantial means creating opportunities for others to thrive alongside you. Andrew clearly embodies this mindset," Kortas praised.
In joining NEXA, Deyo is determined to not only transfer his existing clientele but also enhance the team's structure and capabilities, ensuring that others achieve their potential alongside him. His strategic approach, rooted in the principles learned during his military service, emphasizes relationship-building and assisting others in navigating their needs.
Five years into his mortgage career, Deyo is motivated by the prospect of significantly scaling his operations and further expanding on the foundational growth he has achieved thus far. His entry into NEXA is set not merely as a career transition but as an opportunity for building the next phase of his professional life—maximizing the potential for himself and those within his newly formed team.
As Deyo embarks on this new chapter, observers are eager to witness the impact of his expertise and entrepreneurial spirit within NEXA Lending, signaling that the best is yet to come.
