Strategic hire marks 'bigger 2024 conforming push' for lender.

The Hollywood, Florida-based A&D Mortgage announced the arrival of two new account executives this week.

Greg Ciprut and Catrina Hegarty were welcomed to the team in a strategic move by the Non-QM lender to expand its suite of conforming products, including conventional and government loans. The news comes just a few months after it hired more to its sales team. 

Ciprut brings over a decade of industry experience to the role, having served previously as an account executive at First Savings Bank. He also held roles at Fairway Wholesale Lending, AnnieMac Home Mortgage, and Kinecta Federal Credit Union, honing skills in client relationship management and loan portfolio oversight.

Ciprut

Hegarty brings to A&D Mortgage a dynamic blend of marketing acumen and mortgage industry expertise, having most recently led business development at Neat Loans. With a career spanning over two decades, Hegarty’s previous roles included director at Argus Research and account executive positions at EquiFirst Corporation and NovaStar Mortgage, focusing on strategic market analysis and customer-focused sales. 

Catrina

“The addition of Greg and Catrina to our team marks a significant milestone in our journey to provide unparalleled service in the mortgage lending landscape,” SVP Wholesale Lending Sales at A&D Mortgage Andrew Taylor said in a statement. “Their vast experience and proven track records in the industry will undoubtedly strengthen our team of conventional and government sales professionals. We are excited to see the positive impact they will bring to our clients and partners.”
