“HomeBridge offers a very unique value in Cleveland and the rest of the Midwest. Not only does HomeBridge have the stability and resources home buyers and industry professionals look for in a mortgage lender, but its branches consistently score high marks for providing a level of customer service that typically you only find from a small local business,” said Steve Stapleton, HomeBridge senior vice president, who joined the company last year to expand HomeBridge’s footprint in Ohio and the rest of the central states region. “With Tim Krichbaum and his team in place in Independence, it won’t be long before HomeBridge’s reputation for excellence reaches Cleveland as well.”
