Melville-based Nationwide Mortgage Bankers (NMB), which does business as NMBNOW, has tapped industry veteran Michael Brennan as its new president of sales and operations.
Brennan was previously the president of South Carolina-based Movement Mortgage, where he started as a Northeast regional director in 2015 and became president in 2021. Through recruiting and acquisition, Brennan helped grow the company to 5,600 employees with an annual loan volume of $33 billion, according to a NMB statement. He also headed the firm’s redistribution of 49% of its profits back to local communities to fund new charter schools, orphanages and local charities.
“Michael Brennan’s arrival is hugely significant for building upon the strong foundation we have at NMB and now expanding our services across the nation,” Richard Steinberg, NMB founder and chairman, said in the statement. “We are excited to add to the great work Michael did on impact lending alongside Movement Mortgage Co-Founder Casey Crawford. Their efforts to give back to the communities they serve is truly an inspiration and helped propel our efforts to launch the new NMB Cares Foundation.”
In his new role at NMB, Brennan will oversee sales and operations for the company, which has 500 employees in 29 offices and is licensed in 47 states. He will also head NMB’s strategic Affinity Platform, which adds financial wellness benefits through partnerships with organizations across the U.S., according to the statement.
Brennan aims to emphasize technology, including NMB’s BuyNOW and e-close platforms, to streamline the borrowing process for clients and referral partners.
“I’m extremely excited to join a forward-thinking team so devoted to making the mortgage process as seamless as possible for clients,” Brennan said in the statement. “I see a real opportunity at NMB to bring their amazing technology platform and unique business model to high-performing loan officers in towns and cities across the country. They have the flexibility to work with a wide range of customers — first-time homebuyers, people moving up or exploring investment properties — and NMB has all the pieces in place to expand their services to new areas.”
Brennan also serves alongside nonprofits like Empathy & Compassion, International Cooperative Ministries and the Karis Foundation, helping to invigorate families and communities with a heavy focus on developing countries in Central America and South America, according to the statement.
