Former Ginnie Mae president Joseph Murin and former FHA commissioner Brian Montgomery are launching a Washington consulting firm to provide advisory services for mortgage company executives. Mr. Murin said the firm aims to help clients operate strategically in a business environment where markets and the regulatory landscape are shifting. The Collingwood Group already has an office on Pennsylvania Ave. and it has merged with Capital Financial Solutions, which was founded by two former Fannie Mae executives. Mr. Montgomery said the merger will give Collingwood clients access to expertise in fraud prevention, risk management analytics, mortgage fulfillment services, REO and loan modification management. The former Ginnie Mae and Federal Housing Administration officials recently left their government posts and they cannot directly contact those agencies on behalf of clients for one year.
