LenderLive Announces Two Appointments to its Correspondent Lending Divison

LenderLive Network Inc., a domestic-based, mortgage services provider, announced that Lynn Collins and Tisha Hamari have joined the firm as Regional Account Executives for the company’s Correspondent Lending division.

Collins covers the states of Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Arkansas, while Hamari covers Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, and Southern California, according to the company. Both will work with current and prospective clients, including community banks and credit unions participating in or considering the LenderLive correspondent program. In addition, both will report directly to Bob Kallio, SVP of the Correspondent Lending Division.

LenderLive’s correspondent program is designed to serve the needs of mid-tier and smaller originators that want to protect their customer relationships. Unlike many large bank programs, LenderLive offers an option to co-brand its servicing with its correspondents. The program also offers quick client approval, fast turn times, competitive pricing, and greater engagement during the sales process to keep clients aware of the status of their loans.

“There is growing demand for a better alternative when it comes to correspondent lending,” said David Vida, President of LenderLive Mortgage Services. “Clients are looking for new partners who can provide a consistent, superior customer experience and, at the same time, protect their relationships. Both Lynn and Tisha’s successful track records of working closely with correspondents to expand their mortgage businesses make them valuable additions to the team.”

Collins brings more than 20 years' experience in the mortgage industry to LenderLive. Most recently, she was an Account Manager for Stonegate Mortgage, where she assisted in the development of its correspondent and emerging banking business channels. Previously, Collins was an Account Executive with US Bank Home Mortgage, where she was responsible for correspondent and wholesale business development in Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas.

Hamari brings more than 23 years' mortgage industry experience to LenderLive. She most recently served as Correspondent Sales Director for Titan Capital Solutions. Previously, she was a Correspondent Account Executive with BofI Federal Bank. Hamari also held Account Executive positions with national lenders, such as Thornburg Mortgage and Fifth Third Bank.
