Mike Brennan talks NMB with relationships, tech & talent


Listen Later

On today’s episode of Powerhouse, Diego sits down with Mike Brennan, President of Nationwide Mortgage Bankers (NMB), to discuss his recent move from Movement Mortgage and what drew him to NMB. 

They dive into how NMB is navigating a slow housing market, the role of technology in client engagement, and why personal relationships matter more than ever. Mike also touches on growth strategies, new product offerings like reverse mortgages and non-QM loans, and his goal to double the company’s size over the next year.


Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • The power of strong relationships and leadership in driving mortgage success.

  • NMB’s focus on organic growth through talent and selective M&A.

  • How a lean, efficient structure supports agility and scale.

  • Using tech and servicing to create a customer-first experience.

  • Growth opportunities in reverse mortgages, home equity, and production expansion.
