Bookspan Baker Team Joins NEXA Lending, Launching Keepsake Loans
Todd Bookspan and Matt Baker have joined NEXA Lending to launch a new brand called Keepsake Loans. The move allows the established mortgage production team—known as the Bookspan Baker Team—to leverage NEXA's infrastructure while preserving their existing identity and relationships. With over $1 billion in historical loan volume, they are currently on track for about $100 million in 2026. The partnership aims to expand growth opportunities through access to advanced technology, product offerings, investor networks, and a revenue-sharing model within NEXA's ecosystem. Both leaders emphasized the value of building upon an existing successful business rather than starting from scratch. Their decision was influenced by NEXA’s investments in AI-driven mortgage solutions and its expansion into loan servicing via evoLend. NEXA Lending views this addition as a strategic fit for their platform, which is designed to support experienced entrepreneurs who can scale independently while benefiting from the company's resources.
