Home Capital today announced the opening of the Quebec branch of its subsidiary, Home Trust Company/Compagnie Home Trust, as part of its commitment to expand the company’s presence across Canada.

The downtown Montreal branch will focus on servicing Greater Montreal, Gatineau and Quebec City, and surrounding areas.

The branch is staffed with employees hired from the Montreal market and trained together at Home Trust’s Toronto office.

“The opening of our Montreal branch has been very warmly received by the Quebec broker community and our target market in that province,” says Gerald Soloway, president and CEO. “We anticipate strong results from this previously untapped market and expect the Quebec branch to close over $100 million in mortgages in 2007.”
