I'm thrilled to lead our mortgage company into new horizons, powered by the amazing momentum within our organization. The heart and soul of Fairway lies in its incredible people, and I am humbled to work alongside the best of the best. It's exciting to collaborate with our exceptional leadership team - we will redefine mortgage marketing with innovation and relevance." 

Hovland, an eight-year Fairway veteran and former vice president of Branch Support, will now oversee Branch Support as well as the Encompass and Point of Sale teams.

"In her time with Fairway, Brittny was instrumental in developing our stellar Branch Support team where the focus is always on helping the Street as quickly as possible," said Fairway Founder and CEO Steve Jacobson.
