"Greenlight provides Nationstar with an established brand, a proven management team with a history of success, and an opportunity to profitably expand the platform on a national basis," said Nationstar CEO Jay Bray. "We are proud to add Greenlight's employees to the Nationstar enterprise and are excited for the opportunity to further grow the Greenlight platform. We expect Greenlight to immediately produce results for Nationstar by adding more than $0.70 of EPS on an annualized basis."

Greenlight currently has over 700 employees with offices in Irvine, California, San Diego, California, and Las Vegas, Nevada. Greenlight is expected to originate more than $8 billion annually.
