The company is also actively involved in giving back to its communities and donates a portion of each closing to local charities. Republic Mortgage currently operates 44 branches in 12 states with 350 employees.

“Republic Mortgage aligns well with the service-oriented and people-centric culture at Academy,” said Republic Mortgage President and CEO Scott Leishman. “We are confident that this partnership will greatly benefit our team members by providing them with additional resources and volume to enhance their capabilities moving forward.”
