SAN RAMON - March 6, 2023 – CMG Mortgage, Inc., a leading mortgage banking company that originated more than $19 billion in 2022, announced today its asset acquisition of the retail division of Homebridge Financial Services, a mortgage company based in Iselin, NJ that originated $12 billion in the same year.  This acquisition significantly increases the footprint of CMG’s retail division, further solidifying its position as one of the nation’s largest mortgage banks.

“We are thrilled to add the highly successful origination team at Homebridge to our own highly successful retail team at CMG,” said Christopher M.
