Williston Financial Group Appoints Moody to Head Its Lender Services Division

Nov 29, 2010

Williston Financial Group LLC (WFG) has appointed William Moody as executive vice president. Moody will lead wholly-owned subsidiary New Millennium Title, WFG’s lender services division, from the division’s new headquarters in Simi Valley, Calif. He will also serve on the Executive Committee of WFG. WFG is a national, full service provider of title insurance and real estate settlement services for the mortgage industry. New Millennium Title is already operating in all 50 states. The division delivers a range of settlement services, including title insurance and closing/escrow services, for both the commercial and residential transactions. Moody has 34 years of experience in the mortgage and settlement services industry, most recently as founder, president and chief executive officer of national settlement services firm Lender’s First Choice. He also spent 11 years as a president of financial services with Coast Federal Bank. “WFG and New Millennium Title are a great fit for this market,” said Moody. “We are already serving a variety of large, medium and small national clients, and are pleased to see that flexibility, communication and responsiveness on the part of their settlement services partners are no longer luxuries in the eyes of mortgage lenders. They are now requirements. This fits our business model, which centers on communication, collaboration and co-existence.” WFG President and Chief Executive Officer Patrick Stone asserts that Moody is an excellent match for the company’s approach to the market. “Bill has tremendous experience on both the lending and settlement side of the real estate transaction," said Stone. "He strives to adapt his services to meet the needs of the customer, rather than forcing the customer to fit his operation. At a time when mortgage lenders need flexibility and speed from their partners, Bill Moody will be an asset to New Millennium’s clients.” For more information, visit www.WillistonFinancial.com.
