Meet Kara Lowrie
34+ years helping Louisiana families find their way home. Real guidance, real answers, and a lender who cares.
A Career Built on Relationships
For over 34 years, I've helped families across Louisiana navigate one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives — buying a home. Based in the Shreveport-Bossier area, I've built my career on one simple principle: treat every client the way I'd want my own family treated.
I entered the mortgage industry in 1991 because I believe people deserve clear, honest answers about their home financing options. The mortgage process doesn't have to feel overwhelming. My job is to simplify it — to explain things in plain English, answer every question, and make sure you feel confident at every step.
Whether you're a first-time buyer, a veteran exploring VA benefits, or a homeowner reviewing refinance options, you'll receive the same steady guidance and personal attention. You are never just a loan file here. You're a neighbor. And I'm honored to help you find your way home.
Rooted in Family. Grounded in Service.
Michael "Duke" Lowrie and I founded Acadiana Mortgage in May of 1998. Duke has been my steady partner in business and in life for almost 30 years, and together we've built this company on faith, integrity, and hard work.
We're proud parents of three amazing children — and if you stop by our home, you'll quickly discover an enthusiastic collection of dogs, cats, and whatever else we've rescued along the way. Life is full, busy, and blessed — and that perspective shapes how I serve my clients every day.
Beyond the office, I've had the privilege of serving on numerous nonprofit and civic boards because I believe strong communities don't build themselves — people build them.
My service has included:
- Chairman of the Board, Bossier Chamber of Commerce
- Military Affairs Council
- Barksdale Forward
- Bossier Economic Development Foundation
- Northwest Louisiana Home Builders Association Board
- Women's Council of Realtors (Treasurer, three terms)
- Bossier Council on Aging Board
- Mayor's Commission for Women
- Honorary Commander — Barksdale Air Force Base

Giving back isn't something I do for recognition — it's simply part of who I am. When our community thrives, families thrive. And when families thrive, homeownership becomes more than a transaction — it becomes a legacy.
"My commitment has always been simple: steady guidance, honest answers, and doing what's right — because that's how trust is built."
— Kara Lowrie
