Mortgage Builder Opens Western Division

Mortgage Builder Software, Southfield, Mich., has announced the creation of a western division for the sales of its products. The company has hired Kelli Himebaugh to manage sales in the new division. Ms. Himebaugh joined Milwaukee-based Guaranty Bank's home equity company in 2003, where she served as the sales manager for California, Arizona, and New Mexico. She later started the lender's correspondent division and ran the Pacific region until 2007. "We're having a great year despite the slower market," said Wendy Bennetts, Mortgage Builder's director of marketing and business development. "We opened the Southeast division last year and we anticipate opening another region later this year in response to the increased demand we're experiencing."
