Justin Demola, CMB, has joined Equifax as senior vice president of mortgage and housing, bringing more than six years of cooperative and vendor-side leadership experience to the credit reporting and data analytics firm. Demola announced the move in a LinkedIn post, saying he was “thrilled” to join Equifax as it continues to expand its influence across the mortgage and housing finance ecosystem.
“Throughout my career in the mortgage industry, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside exceptional people and building relationships that have shaped my approach to leadership,” Demola wrote. “I’m excited to bring that experience to Equifax as the company continues to drive innovation in an industry that impacts millions of lives.”
Before joining Equifax, Demola spent six and a half years with Altisource, most recently as senior vice president of originations, overseeing businesses including CastleLine, Premium Title, Springhouse, and Trelix. He also served as president of Lenders One Mortgage Cooperative from 2021 through January 2026, leading the lender-owned cooperative and working closely with its membership to guide strategy and collaboration among independent mortgage bankers, banks, and industry partners.
“It has been an honor to lead the Cooperative and work alongside such talented individuals,” Demola wrote. “I’m walking away with lifelong relationships and a lot of pride in what we accomplished together.”
Beyond his corporate roles, Demola has been deeply involved in industry education and advocacy. He has served as a resident Certified Mortgage Banker (CMB) instructor with the Mortgage Bankers Association since 2020, is a current board member of the Mortgage Bankers Association of New Jersey, and previously served on MBA’s MORPAC Committee from 2021 to 2023.
In his new role at Equifax, Demola will focus on mortgage and housing initiatives as credit data becomes increasingly central to underwriting, servicing, and risk management decisions. He said the opportunity to collaborate with Equifax’s teams and its position in the housing finance system were key factors in his decision.
“With growing focus on credit data across the mortgage ecosystem, I’m energized by the opportunity to demonstrate the value of Equifax’s solutions and help create innovative, data-driven solutions that support a healthy and thriving industry,” he said.
Demola also expressed gratitude to Altisource, Lenders One, and the cooperative’s membership, thanking them for their trust and partnership and noting he leaves with “lifelong relationships and a lot of pride in what we accomplished together.”
