American Business Media LLC, publisher of National Mortgage Professional, has announced the acquisition of the assets of HomeQB LLC, a Georgia-based mortgage certification and software suite that helps loan officers build strategic partnerships with financial planners to grow their business.
“This acquisition is about equipping loan officers, their referral partners, and the homeowners they serve to better manage the $35 trillion of home equity wealth in today’s market,” said Vincent Valvo, CEO of American Business Media.
The acquisition includes the 2026 CMPS certification course for loan officers, the Housing Wealth Advisor CE courses for Certified Financial Planners, the Certified Real Estate Advisor course for real estate agents, and the HomeQB housing wealth report that loan officers can co-brand with real estate agents and financial planners.
As part of the acquisition, HomeQB’s strategic advisor and creator of the CMPS certification course, Gibran Nicholas, has agreed to contribute content on an ongoing basis to American Business Media.
“Gibran has a 20-year track record of serving our industry and helping loan officers grow their business,” said Andrew Berman, CEO of National Mortgage Professional (NMP) magazine. “We couldn’t be happier that he chose to partner with us to continue his legacy and contributions to our industry.”
The HomeQB membership includes Gibran’s Elite Advisor coaching program, daily market updates, and library of educational and social media content to help loan officers educate homebuyers and get more referrals from financial advisors and other allied professions.
“I’m excited to partner with American Business Media to create unique value for mortgage professionals, their strategic partners, and the homeowners and buyers they serve,” said Gibran.
HomeQB is the latest iteration of specialized marketing and coaching programs designed by Nicholas over the past two decades. “Gibran’s products have been a cornerstone for successful mortgage originators who want innovative ways to build relationships and business,” said Valvo.
Under American Business Media’s ownership, the company intends to use its extensive database of loan originators, its multiple content platforms, and its more than two dozen annual mortgage conferences to market HomeQB.
