Waterstone Mortgage Top Producers Ring Opening Nasdaq Bell

Feb 24, 2017

Members of the Waterstone Mortgage Corporation executive team, as well as 40 of the company’s top mortgage loan originators, recently visited New York City to participate in the Market Bell Opening Ceremony at Nasdaq.

Waterstone Mortgage rang the opening bell on behalf of Waterstone Financial Inc.–the savings and loan holding company for its parent company, WaterStone Bank. This event was televised live on CNBC.

“We are proud to be the listing partner of Waterstone Financial, supporting their continued success for over a decade,” said Joe Brantuk, vice president, Listing Services, Nasdaq. “With a 93 percent win-rate in the regional banking sector for the past two years, we see great opportunities in the space and look forward to providing companies with dedicated support and comprehensive capital raising capabilities as they take on the next chapter of their journey.”

Many of Waterstone Mortgage’s top producing loan originators, known as the President’s Club members, were in attendance at the event. The opportunity to participate in the Nasdaq opening bell ceremony was unveiled to President’s Club members at the company’s 2017 Annual Sales Conference, which was held in Scottsdale, Ariz.

“The Waterstone Mortgage executive team wanted to create a very memorable experience for our President’s Club members, and this seemed like the perfect way to do so,” said Waterstone Mortgage President & CEO Eric Egenhoefer. “Considering their dedication and hard work over the past year, we were eager to share this experience with our top producers–especially in light of our all-time company record of $2.5 billion in loan originations for 2016.”
