Kim has been named a "Phenomenon" by one of the nation's top speakers and sales trainers, 24-year industry veteran Doug Smith. After more than two decades of serving the mortgage industry and reaching annual production volume exceeding 1 billion, Kim's dream of owning her own business came to fruition in 2008 when she launched BankSouth Mortgage.

Since inception, BankSouth Mortgage has achieved over 1 billion in annual production volume and has earned the #1 spot for purchase market share and new construction purchase market share in one of the most competitive real estate markets in the country. In addition, the company has consistently been recognized as an Atlanta Business Chronicle’s Best Places to Work. With nine offices throughout Georgia, BankSouth Mortgage continues to grow and thrive.

In 2016, Nelson expanded her role and was named the Atlanta Market President of BankSouth. In this role, she is charged with running the bank’s Atlanta operations and strategically enhancing opportunities for relationship optimization between the bank and mortgage company. She was also recently named a 2016 “Woman Who Means Business” by the Atlanta Business Chronicle for making a difference in her community, trail blazing for others, and leaving a mark on business in Atlanta. Kim continuously demonstrates unmatched vision, determination, and leadership and is a role model to the BankSouth family for her constant pursuit of excellence.
