New partnerships with Acrisure Mortgage in the east and Alta Home Lending in the west align DRB’s premier home product offering with a customer-centric mortgage process.
GAITHERSBURG, Md., Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DRB Group today announced the planned January 2027 launch of two mortgage joint ventures to strengthen and expand the company’s customer offering across its DRB Homes’ national footprint: DRB Mortgage, in partnership with Acrisure Mortgage in the east, and DRB Home Loans, in partnership with Alta Home Lending in the west.
The initiative reflects the vision of DRB Group President and Chief Executive Officer, Ronny Salameh, to pair DRB’s high-quality builder brands: DRB Homes and DRB Elevate 55+ with a mortgage experience built around transparency, execution, and customer care. As DRB Group continues to grow, the company is focused on ensuring buyers have access to a streamlined financing process that supports a seamless journey from contract to closing.
To lead this effort, Salameh appointed Matthew Wolf, senior vice president of Financial Services for DRB Group, to develop a mortgage strategy that would deliver the strongest possible customer experience. Wolf, a long-tenured mortgage professional who joined DRB Group after a successful career with a top 5 national builder, led a comprehensive search to identify partners with proven operational strength, local market knowledge, and a shared commitment to serving homebuyers at the highest level.
“Our goal is simple: to combine the strength of DRB’s homebuilding platform with mortgage partners that understand our customers, our markets, and the importance of consistent execution,” said Ronny Salameh, President and CEO of DRB Group. “These joint ventures are an important step in delivering a more integrated, customer-focused homebuying experience.”
The joint ventures are also expected to create day-to-day alignment between the sales consultants and dedicated mortgage loan officers. By working more synergistically together from the earliest stages of the buyer journey, sales and mortgage teams will be better positioned to educate customers, identify financing solutions, remove friction, and support higher conversion through a more coordinated homebuying experience.
Senior Vice President of Financial Services, Matthew Wolf commented, “We approached this search with a clear mandate: select partners who could help our operations provide a best-in-class mortgage experience, and we look forward to a successful launch in January 2027.”
