Hometown Lenders, Inc. Brings on TotalChoice Mortgage Division

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Nov. 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Hometown Lenders, Inc., a national mortgage lender headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama, announced the successful partnership with TotalChoice Mortgage Division, led by Michael Farrell, Divisional Manager. The key decision to transition from a small, regional holding company to a larger company with a strong, National footprint was undoubtedly a strategic move for TotalChoice Mortgage Division.

For Hometown Lenders, the verdict to Partner with TotalChoice Mortgage Division was made easy, as it properly aligned with its goal of reaching $5 billion in annual mortgage origination volume. In the upcoming months, TotalChoice Mortgage Division plans on adding production offices in North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Florida. These additions alone will increase the 2018 annual projected loan origination volume by $240 million.

"The goal from the beginning was to build a sales division with exceptional sales personnel supported in partnership with an unmatched back office support," said Michael Farrell, Divisional Manager. "To expand the TotalChoice vision tooled with ground-breaking technology in the mortgage space, aggressive speed to client closings, and an aggressive weekly compensation to our salespeople. To do so we needed a strong and committed partnership with a national mortgage company who encompassed the resources, desire, and commitment to scale our vision. We clearly found the opportunity with Hometown Lenders, Inc. and we are extremely excited to be members of their family. In my 30 years of lending, I have never found such caring professionals who do business the right way and look beyond the closing to take care of their employees and the communities they serve. Partnering with individuals like Billy Taylor and John Taylor and their team of professionals was an easy decision as it matched our CORE values perfectly," added Farrell.

As a fully-integrated, multi-channel mortgage lender, Hometown Lenders drives consumer acquisition by leveraging technology; while providing a traditional customer service experience through its brick and mortar locations. Another key aspect of the acquisition was Hometown Lenders ability to assume TotalChoice Mortgage Division's existing marketing technology. These technologies include the ability start and complete the entire loan process through a mobile app, which allows efficiencies and transparent communication for its borrowers and Realtor relations.

TotalChoice Mortgage has successfully developed customized marketing platforms powered by key technology partnerships to master the origination process. These tech-driven marketing platforms allow mortgage loan officers to convert more leads, automate the loan process, and stay in touch with their prospective clients.

"In today's market, customers expect more from companies and it's our responsibility as a business to satisfy the demands of our consumers," stated Masana Noma, Marketing. "An automated Client Relationship Manager (CRM), that features rapid response to our customer's inquiry or a mobile application that simplifies the consumer's task is a must-have tool for businesses. That's exactly why we've carefully built a customized, white-labeled solution through our collaborative partnerships with Big Purple Dot and Pre-Approve Me."
