The latest JV acquisition under the Newrez Ventures portfolio.

FORT WASHINGTON, Pa.--()--Newrez LLC (“Newrez”, the “Company”), a national mortgage lending and servicing organization, is excited to announce the launch of a new joint venture mortgage company, Carnegie Mortgage Partners, LLC (“Carnegie Mortgage Partners”), in partnership with Keller Williams Bergen County Partners.

This new partnership brings homeowners in the state of New Jersey a vast network of real estate agents that can offer a robust mortgage product suite from Newrez and Newrez Ventures.

“The joint venture value proposition is a commitment of excellence in customer service not only to its clients, but its referring partners as well,” said Margaret Bernabei, President of Carnegie Mortgage Partners. “I am thrilled to be part of such an incredible enterprise between two partners who are experts in their industries and understand how to grow and succeed in this model.”

Specializing in residential purchase mortgage lending, Carnegie Mortgage Partners is headquartered in Ridgewood, New Jersey, and will focus on serving borrowers across the state.

“We are excited to partner with Newrez because their vision, and more importantly, their values fit nicely with our own,” said Al Donohue, Operating Principal of Keller Williams Bergen County Partners. “We feel that bringing mortgage operations in-house will allow us to provide a one-stop-shop that will provide an enhanced experience for our agents and their clients.”
