Nationwide Mortgage Bankers Inc. (NMBNOW), recognized as one of America’s fastest-growing mortgage companies, proudly announces the appointment of Michael Brennan as its new President. Brennan, a seasoned mortgage industry leader, brings over 25 years of extensive experience and a remarkable track record of fostering growth and innovation.
Previously serving as President of Movement Mortgage, Brennan significantly accelerated their national footprint. Under his leadership, Movement Mortgage expanded dramatically, boasting 5,600 employees and an impressive $33 billion annual loan volume. Brennan’s visionary leadership not only amplified the company’s operational efficiency but also strengthened its dedication to community investment and social impact initiatives.
Brennan was instrumental in growing his prior firm’s presence as an Impact Lender, helping the company redistribute 49% of profits back to local communities to fund essential programs, including new charter schools, orphanages, and local charities. This dedication aligns seamlessly with NMB’s recent launch of the NMB Cares Foundation, designed to amplify community engagement and charitable contributions nationwide.
“Michael Brennan’s arrival is hugely significant for building upon the strong foundation we have at NMB and now expanding our services across the nation. We are excited to add to the great work Michael did on impact lending alongside Movement Mortgage Co-Founder Casey Crawford. Their efforts to give back to the communities they serve is truly an inspiration and helped propel our efforts to launch the new NMB Cares Foundation.”
In his new role at NMB, Brennan will lead a dynamic team of 500 professionals across 29 offices, strategically steering the company’s Affinity Platform. This innovative initiative is set to offer comprehensive financial wellness benefits through strategic partnerships nationwide, reinforcing NMB’s dedication to serving diverse community needs.
Passionate about technology-driven solutions, Brennan recognizes the potential of NMB’s advanced platforms, such as BuyNOW and e-close. These platforms have consistently delivered streamlined experiences and rapid turnaround times, enhancing satisfaction among clients and referral partners alike.
“I’m extremely excited to join a forward-thinking team so devoted to making the mortgage process as seamless as possible for clients. I see a real opportunity at NMB to bring their amazing technology platform and unique business model to high-performing loan officers in towns and cities across the country. They have the flexibility to work with a wide range of customers — first-time homebuyers, people moving up or exploring investment properties — and NMB has all the pieces in place to expand their services to new areas.”
Beyond his corporate responsibilities, Brennan actively partners with philanthropic organizations like the EQUIP Foundation, Empathy & Compassion, International Cooperative Ministries, and the Karis Foundation. His involvement reflects his deep commitment to enriching lives globally, particularly within developing regions in Central and South America.
NMB’s continued excellence is underscored by consistent recognition from prestigious organizations, including top rankings by Fortune’s Best Small and Medium Workplaces and People Magazine’s “Companies That Care.” The company’s unwavering dedication to employee satisfaction, customer transparency, and educational support continues to distinguish NMB in the mortgage industry.
Join us in welcoming Michael Brennan, as NMB embarks on an exciting new chapter of innovation, growth, and community impact.
