A growing mortgage provider, Hometown Lenders said in a news release that it “meticulously selects and reviews established, well-respected mortgage lenders across the U.S. Utilizing this rigorous vetting process, (Hometown) decides which existing lenders are ideal fits to become new branches of Hometown Lenders.”
