In a news release, Robbins said Castle brings "significant depth and flexibility" to his company.
"Their seller-servicers approvals with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae will accelerate our entrance into the retail market and provide a competitive advantage for our mortgage broker customers," he said.
George Hawkins, Castle's president, added that both Bexil and Castle have "deep roots in the mortgage business" and "share a culture and tradition focused on providing the right loans for our customers."
