Beginning his career in the financial industry, Andre Adams became interested in real estate after working as an account manager selling flexible office space. “I’ve always had a passion for helping others achieve their dreams,” he shares. “I thought that assisting people in obtaining homeownership was the perfect blend.” This interest in finance and real estate came to fruition when a recruiter contacted him about an opportunity in lending. That was six years ago.
Now a senior home lending advisor with JPMorganChase, Adams specializes in conventional, FHA, VA and jumbo loans. He credits his success mostly to his relatability, a skill he developed through several family relocations during his childhood. Born in Denver, he moved to New Orleans when he was 9 years old, but at age 13, his family was displaced to Houston due to Hurricane Katrina. “I experienced a multitude of different cultures and environments by moving around at a young age,” he explains. “As an adult, I am now able to relate and communicate with all different walks of life.”
In a career dominated by peers older than he is, Adams has been extremely successful during his three short years in lending. His clients value him for being knowledgeable, responsive, helpful and a hard worker. He believes in preparing his clients by detailing the entire process and setting expectations from the start. “My interest in the business gives me an advantage over my competition,” he shares. “I truly love what I do.”
Process driven yet fun and approachable, Adams receives new clients through banking referrals and networking. “I truly care about putting the customer in the best financial situation possible and making an impact in the community,” he says.
