NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- First Community Mortgage (FCM), announces that it will acquire a Mortgage Boutique (AMB) in a transaction it hopes to close within the next month, pending regulatory approval. Both privately held mortgage organizations are headquartered in Murfreesboro.
"We are excited to partner with the team at AMB," says Keith Canter, CEO of First Community Mortgage, and one of the 18-year-old organization's founders. "There is strong alignment between our two organizations, particularly in the value we place on people – employees, clients, and business partners – and the communities we serve. These strong FCM-AMB synergies will especially enhance our ability to serve additional clients."
