In response to the increased volume of distressed borrowers and the growing number of foreclosed and REO properties nationwide, The National Groups has been expanding its efforts to help reduce the exposure of both "At Risk" borrowers and "Value Challenged" collateral.
Mr. Oringer will assume the role of Senior Managing Director - REO/Loss Mitigation Operations, for The National Groups. He was most recently with Titleserv National Default in Austin, TX where he was Senior Vice President, Loss Mitigation Services. Mr. Oringer brings more than 20 years of experience in the REO and loss mitigation industry to The National Groups, including senior positions with Indymac Federal Bank, GMAC Rescap, LLC, GMAC Mortgage Corporation, and Clayton National, Inc.
Mr. Fikani steps in to the new position of Managing Director - Default Services for The National Groups. He comes to the firm from Titleserv National in Austin, TX where he was Vice President - Director of Operations. Previously, Mr. Fikani was Executive Vice President - Mortgage for Wachovia Corporation in Charlotte, NC. He held various management positions with the firm in origination and underwriting beginning in 1989.
"Mitch and Richard bring a deep knowledge of REO and loss mitigation to the firm, and we're thrilled to have them join us," said Bruce Wentworth, Senior Managing Director of The National Groups. "They're the right people at the right time for the firm, and their abilities will go a long way toward accelerating and managing the organic growth of The National Groups."
