Ryan has a proven record of developing top grade teams by investing in the next generation of mortgage professionals and I look forward to his contributions as our new Chief Financial Officer. I could think of no one better to work with our brand presidents, while providing mentorship to the core team," said Sarah Gonzalez, PMG President and Chief Operations Officer.
As an executive leader, Rathert is passionate about diversity and inclusion inside the firm and minority homeownership for the borrowers he serves. An active participant in industry advocacy, Rathert holds an Accredited Mortgage Professional designation with the Mortgage Bankers Association and routinely participates in industry events and Stratmor Roundtables.
