Mitch Freifeld has announced his resignation as president of Global Branch Solutions to start Branch Management Solutions, Clearwater, Fla., which will provide guidance on recruiting, marketing, and training.The move "represents the culmination of years of work in the mortgage industry," Mr. Freifeld said. "My company's core focus will be to represent and market an innovative, new branch organization that will be making its debut in early 2007." Mr. Freifeld previously served for over 20 years as president of United Shelter Homes. He said he will maintain "a strong focus" on his work with the Coalition Against Broker Fraud, which he co-founded early this year in response to mounting fraud-related losses at mortgage firms.
