Mr. Housman led the industry in compliance over his 8-year tenure he had zero violations and scored in the highest levels (90+%) on over 60 audits. He did this by incorporating underwriting guideline requirements for all AMC’s to follow, resulting in quicker turn-a-round times, lower revision rates and saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in potential lock extensions or lost deals. He chose to join Apex because out of the 21 AMC’s that he worked with at FAM, Apex had the highest level of service, integrity and world-class customer service. Not to mention that over the 8-year period he worked with Apex, they never had a single compliance violation. Dave is married to his lovely wife and along with their 5 children and 6 grandchildren, they love to travel, have fun, attend sports events, visit amusement parks around the world and volunteer for charity events/fundraisers that benefit many local charities and organizations like Wounded Warriors, Cancer Foundation, Del Oro High School and SAC Food Locker. |
