Gibson will focus on enhancing Arc Home’s production capabilities, strengthening broker and correspondent relationships while advancing the growth of the company’s non-QM, nonagency and HomeEQ products, according to a company announcement.
“I’m honored to join a talented team committed to delivering innovative solutions for our clients and their borrowers,” Gibson said in a statement. “My focus is on equipping our partners with the tools and resources they need to thrive, backed by a sales team that prioritizes advocacy and excellence.”

Cantwell’s new role includes efforts to create streamline processes across all lending channels.
“Having recently worked as a broker originating Non-QM loans, I’ve experienced firsthand the challenges clients face and where processes can become inefficient,” Cantwell said in a statement. “I’m excited to join Arc Home to work with an amazing team to remove bottlenecks and create seamless, scalable processes that drive growth for our broker, delegated and non-delegated partners while delivering exceptional service.”
