Background

About Richard Bridges

I help high-growth homebuilders streamline their mortgage operations, improve customer satisfaction, and close more deals through strategic lending partnerships tailored to how they do business—not the other way around. With 25+ years in the homebuilding industry, I understand the builder mindset from the inside out. I’ve led project development, sales, marketing, and operations—and now, as Vice President of Builder Business Development at Mutual of Omaha Mortgage, I bring that full-spectrum experience to the mortgage side. Our Builder Division specializes in homebuilder mortgage solutions for companies building 100 to homes annually. We’re nimble, flexible, and committed to customizing our offerings to align with each builder’s business model. Whether it’s white-label marketing, embedded loan officers, or dedicated customer service, we deliver what your buyers—and your team—need to succeed. A few highlights: • Created Mutual of Omaha Mortgage’s first two builder joint ventures • Former President of the Home Builders Association of Greater Chicago • Builder-side experience + mortgage-side solutions = unique strategic insight I’m always open to connecting with builders who want a true strategic alliance, mortgage professionals who want to grow in a purpose-driven organization, and industry peers looking to collaborate on new ideas.
