Jeff Hutchinson is AnnieMac Home Mortgage‘s new senior vice president of retail production, and he will help lead a new group on the East Coast.
The Tuesday announcement also detailed the official co-founding of a new Momentum Group division by Hutchinson, Ian Aubourg and Rick Dionne.
With more than 20 years in the mortgage industry, Hutchinson founded Hutchinson Mortgage Recruiting (HMR), which will continue to operate independently while he shifts his day-to-day focus to AnnieMac and the national expansion of the Momentum Group.
“For me, this move is about growth—both personally and professionally,” said Hutchinson. “AnnieMac offers the scale, agility, and culture that align with where I believe the industry is headed. With Momentum Group, we’ve built a team that’s lean, highly capable, and focused on execution. Now, with AnnieMac’s support, we can take that to a whole new level.”
Momentum Group, AnnieMac’s national retail growth engine, launched in 2024 and now has nearly 100 team members and a projected loan volume of over $600 million for 2025, AnnieMac said.
“Partnering with Jeff has been a long time in the making,” said Aubourg, who is a cofounder of Momentum Group. “We’ve shared a vision for years about how mortgage should be done—efficiently, ethically, and with a deep respect for the people in the trenches. AnnieMac gives us the foundation to execute on that vision.”
AnnieMac CEO Joe Panebianco also expressed enthusiasm about the move: “Jeff’s expertise and passion for the business are evident in everything he does. His leadership will play a critical role as we continue to scale and evolve AnnieMac’s retail presence nationwide.”
