“Having been in business for over 20 years, I’ve always been committed to my broker clients. I decided to partner with Home Point because they share the same level of commitment.” said Terry Clark, CEO of Platinum Mortgage.

The Colorado-based STRATMOR Group served as exclusive advisor to Platinum on the transaction, which closed on April 15, 2019.
