"The successful completion of this acquisition is an important milestone for us," said Willie Newman, Home Point's chief executive officer. "Home Point will now have full coverage in all channels of origination, as well as warehouse lending offerings. In addition, the acquisition brings an in-house servicing platform to Home Point, giving us the ability to directly manage relationships with our customers.
