Andrew Drexler
Assistant Vice President, Commercial Financing at First National Financial
Speaker

Profile

Andrew has been a part of the First National Financial commercial team since 2002. During that time, he has cultivated deep relationships by providing value-added advisory services that help clients mitigate risk and maximize opportunities. In his more than two decades at First National, Andrew has originated more than $15 billion in commercial financing.

Andrew’s expertise spans both term and construction financing in the apartment, student housing, retail and industrial asset classes. That diversity shapes his perspectives and defines how he evaluates opportunities and identifies the value inherent in a deal.

Working at First National, Andrew feels encouraged to put client needs ahead of his own and communicate frankly and honestly. It’s how he’s built his reputation and contributed to First National’s reputation as well.
