STRONGSVILLE, Ohio, March 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Union Home Mortgage (UHM), a high-growth independent mortgage banking company with a world-class culture, announced today its acquisition of Nations Reliable Lending, also known as NRL Mortgage.

"NRL's mission has always been to provide reliable service to our customers, partners, employees and communities," said Mewael Ghebremichael, CEO of Nations Reliable Lending.

We'll be able to make an even more meaningful impact by coming together, and we can't wait to get started."
Both organizations prioritize company culture, and find common ground in their core values, such as communication, accountability, and empowering their customers and colleagues.
