"Even though our corporate structure is changing, our mission remains the same—to provide consumers with all the mortgage services they need to achieve and sustain homeownership," said Seehausen.

"Rick brings a wealth of leadership, experience and wisdom that will create significant opportunities for us going forward," said May.
