Executive to lead the joint venture as it recruits more loan officers
NextMortgage, the joint venture subsidiary of wholesale lender CMG Financial and real estate company NextHome, has announced the appointment of Brendan McKeon (pictured) as its new president.
McKeon, a veteran of the mortgage industry, brings over 28 years of experience, including a long tenure at PHH Mortgage and most recently as regional manager at Guaranteed Rate Affinity.
As part of its expansion, NextMortgage is actively recruiting talented loan officers. The company operates physical branches across the United States, including California, Florida, Texas, South Carolina, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Maine, and Wisconsin.
"We are excited to welcome Brendan to NextMortgage. His experience and talent align perfectly with our culture and vision, supporting the company's continued growth across the country," said Chris Harris, executive vice president of CMG Home Loans.
"I could talk about Brendan's accomplishments, his 28 years in the mortgage industry, his success growing companies everywhere he's been, and more, but if I had to pick the single biggest reason we chose him to lead the company, it's who he is as a person,” added NextHome chief strategic officer Keith Robinson. “His intuitive understanding, developed over decades, of the relationship between real estate professionals and mortgage professionals was paramount. It's rare for someone to speak both languages fluently, and Brendan does."

I couldn't be more excited to work alongside the talented leaders and producers at NextMortgage as we build on a strong foundation and drive the growth of our joint venture."
