NewRez, a national mortgage lender, announced the formation of a new joint venture mortgage company with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Verani Realty, Home Sense Lending, in Londonderry, New Hampshire. The joint venture is with Shelter Mortgage Company, the NewRez business division focused on Joint Venture lending.

The new joint venture lender, to be named Home Sense Lending LLC, will be led by Tammy Verani. With this new partnership, NewRez now has 16 joint venture partners across 12 states in the U.S.

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Verani Realty was founded in 1967 by Osvaldo Verani, and continues today under the ownership and management of his children. The company has grown throughout New England and now has a network of over 500 licensed real estate agents.

Given its experience with the joint-venture partnership model, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Verani Realty recognized an ideal match with lending industry leader Shelter Mortgage. The platform allows the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Verani Realty to deliver expanded services and offerings to both agents and clients.

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Verani Realty has been serving the real estate needs in the communities of New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts since 1967. In the last few years, the company has grown to have multiple real estate offices across southern and central New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts —with over 600 licensed real estate agents available to meet the real estate needs of clients in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, and Vermont.
