One of the nation���s largest homebuilders
is partnering up with one of the fastestgrowing mortgage holding companies to
create a new entity.
In a joint announcement, KB Home and
Nationstar Mortgage, LLC, announced
an agreement to form Home Community
Mortgage, LLC, a limited liability company
offering a range of mortgage banking
services to KB Home customers.
As KB Home���s preferred lender,
Nationstar has served homebuyers on-site in
the builder���s communities across the country.
According to the announcement,
Nationstar will remain KB Home���s preferred
choice until Home Community Mortgage���s
launch, which is scheduled for the latter half
of 2013.
���Creating Home Community Mortgage
with Nationstar is the natural progression of
our successful alliance,��� said Jeffrey Mezger,
president and CEO of Los Angeles-based KB
Home. ���As our relationship with Nationstar
has evolved, we have been very pleased
with the alignment of the values of our two
companies, particularly our shared focus on
achieving world-class customer service.���
The new company represents another
step in growth for Texas-based Nationstar,
which announced in January an agreement
to acquire approximately $215 billion in
servicing rights from Bank of America.
The firm currently stands as one of the
largest non-bank mortgage servicers in the
country with a portfolio of approximately
$425 billion and more than 2.5 million
customers.
