HousingWire reports that Todd Bookspan and Matt Baker have joined NEXA Lending and launched Keepsake Loans as an umbrella brand to house their existing team and business.

NEXA said the Bookspan Baker Team, which came from Guild Mortgage, has originated more than $1B in mortgage volume and is on pace to produce about $100M in volume in 2026.

The lender said the change is designed to let Bookspan and Baker keep their team identity while gaining access to NEXA’s technology, products, and investor relationships, with the executives describing the move as choosing a platform to build on what already works.

The announcement also comes as NEXA expands its offerings, including its move into mortgage servicing through the launch of evoLend, and its September launch of NEXA Unlimited, which it says gives loan officers access to 100% of revenue from NEXA loans.
