She brings some special skills to the table: Hennessey is fluent in American Sign Language (ASL) and spent over 15 years as a nationally certified ASL interpreter before beginning her mortgage career. She is also an ACC-accredited life coach through the International Coaching Federation.

In her new role, Hennessey will be responsible for driving growth within Waterstone’s east division by spearheading talent acquisition initiatives.

“Waterstone Mortgage is truly an industry unicorn, and I’m excited and honored to join,” noted Hennessey. “My immediate priority is to ensure every top mortgage professional in the East region knows our unique offerings and why loan officers, teams, and branches significantly increase production, income, and career stability with us.”

“We are thrilled to welcome Margie to our Waterstone Mortgage team,” Jeff McGuiness, president and CEO of Waterstone Mortgage, stated in a release. “Her experience and energy will be invaluable as we continue to build a robust and dynamic team in the East.”
