Minneapolis-based NorthMarq Capital, LLC. has acquired Quest Commercial Capital Corp in Cincinnati.
Quest Commercial Capital Corp. had been in business 17 years.
Joining NorthMarq from Quest is Susan Branscome, the firm’s founder, who will become NorthMarq’s fourth female managing director. Quest was a woman-owned business and Susan was one of only two women in the country to have started her own mortgage banking company.
“We have long admired the work of Quest Commercial Capital under Susan’s leadership,” said Jeff Weidell, president of NorthMarq Capital. “The company has become a strong force in its market and we look forward to supporting Susan as she continues to grow the business in Cincinnati.”
Prior to founding Quest Commercial Capital, Branscome was vice president of Capstone Realty Investors in Cincinnati, where she originated more than $150 million in commercial mortgage loans.
