As COO, he will oversee all aspects of daily operations while working with other NMB leaders to help the company become one of the fastest-growing mortgage companies in the nation.
“Nate’s level of experience in sales, operations, and leadership is a combination that will help us continue to accelerate and support building a world-class sales force that meets the needs of our customers and referral partners,” said Richard Steinberg, founder and chairman of the NMB board.
