First Guaranty Mortgage Corporation (FGMC) has appointed NanEtte Epperson as national wholesale sales director, TPO Production. FGMC is strategically expanding its Wholesale origination channel, and Epperson’s primary role will be to grow the company’s market footprint.
“FGMC has loyally supported its broker partnerships throughout the years; both when the market was strong—and when it took a downturn,” said Andrew Peters, CEO of FGMC. “While others were abandoning the broker community, FGMC doubled down on its commitment. We are confident that now is the opportune time for us to aggressively and strategically expand our presence in the wholesale market, and NanEtte will be instrumental in driving our production goals.”
Epperson brings more than 25 years of successful sales leadership in the mortgage lending industry, with primary emphasis in Third-Party Origination (TPO) lending. She was most recently VP, Division Manager Wholesale and Non-Delegated at Homeward Residential. Prior to this, Epperson was SVP, Division Manager Wholesale and Non-Delegated Correspondent with Nationstar Mortgage; Divisional Executive Vice President–Wholesale Prime Division at Countrywide Mortgage; National Production Manager–Wholesale Prime Division with Aegis; Regional VP–Wholesale Mortgage Banking Division with Principal Financial Group; Eastern Division Vice President–Correspondent and Wholesale Channels with Mellon Mortgage; and South Eastern Regional VP–Wholesale and Non-Delegated Correspondent with CrossLand Mortgage.
“NanEtte has a legacy of successful partnerships in TPO origination across the industry,” said Mark Mayhook, managing director of TPO Production. “As numerous banks and lenders fled the perceived “risks” of the wholesale market years ago, NanEtte stayed true to wholesale and TPO lending, advocating for her partners no matter what the market conditions might be. We believe consistency is critical to the success of a third-party originator such as a brokerage, and NanEtte exemplifies our commitment to growing along with our broker partners.”
