Andrew Russell
Owner of RCG Mortgage
What if your mortgage broker understood human psychology better than most therapists?
Before Andrew Russell became one of the top mortgage brokers in the country, he was a guidance counselor and football coach — roles that trained him to lead with empathy, precision, and deep listening. When he founded RCG Mortgage in 2017, he brought that same mindset into an industry that often forgets it’s about people, not just paperwork.
In just a few short years, Andrew has grown RCG from a three-person operation to a thriving, award-winning team of over 40. He’s been recognized as Long Island’s #1 mortgage broker loan originator and continues to break ground, not just through high volume, but by building meaningful relationships with clients and real estate partners alike.
But what makes Andrew truly stand out isn’t just his business success — it’s the way he’s humanized the mortgage experience. Through strategic marketing, community involvement, and an in-house media agency built to support his partners, he’s redefined what a mortgage business can look like in the 21st century.
This is the story of a man who traded chalkboards for closing costs — and found his calling helping people unlock more than just homes.
