AnnieMac Home Mortgage has acquired certain assets of Florida-based lender Home Solution Lenders Inc. (HSL) for an undisclosed sum.
Acquiring HSL’s construction-to-permanent (CTP) loan expertise, key employees and borrower-first culture is the latest step in AnnieMac’s national strategy to expand its high-performing, community-driven lending operations.
“We are so pleased to welcome Ricky Peacock and the HSL team to AnnieMac, whose client-first approach aligns with our mission, strengthens our presence in Florida, and expands our ability to deliver innovative solutions to more borrowers,” says Joe Panebianco, CEO of AnnieMac, in a release. “With the average American home now over 40 years old and inventory falling short of long-term demand, the need for construction lending expertise has never been greater. Having an experienced, in-house construction lending team is more relevant than ever in the IMB space.”
The HSL team is known for its command of “CTP” lending programs, which simplify financing for both borrowers and builders, making the process more efficient from start to finish. The HSL team also brings a strong network of builder relationships and a reputation for seamless, transparent communication.
“This collaboration between HSL and AnnieMac reflects how deeply aligned our organizations are—from our values to our operations to our vision for the future,” says Ricky Peacock, president of HSL. “We both built our businesses on service. Now, we get to go to focus on what we love most: originating loans and working directly with clients.”
By joining AnnieMac, HSL employees are gaining access to over 300 loan products, including AnnieMac’s exclusive private equity-backed programs. The team will also benefit from AnnieMac’s national operations infrastructure, strategic guidance, and technologies.
