Assurant Mortgage Solutions Realigns Business Development, Client Relations Resources

Atlanta-based service provider for mortgage originators Assurant Mortgage Solutions has announced a realignment of its business development and client relations resources that includes naming Kelly Taylor as the leader of the newly integrated sales and account management functions.

The purpose of the reorganization is to support Assurant Mortgage Solutions' commitment to providing risk management solutions throughout the mortgage lifecycle as well as to provide a more cohesive experience for clients and address industry pain points by utilizing unconventional problem solving. The reorganization is effective immediately.

Taylor, who formerly served as VP of sales for StreetLinks, has more than two decades of sales leadership experience in the mortgage industry.

"We have taken deliberate steps to build a team that has a distinctly different approach to business development in our industry," Assurant Mortgage Solutions SVP Steve Meirink said. "We’ve had the opportunity to receive input from our customers and address the challenges they’ve had when working with other diverse firms. We’ve reorganized to present a more unified and comprehensive approach in effort to provide our clients with a broad spectrum of innovative solutions."

"We have taken deliberate steps to build a team that has a distinctly different approach to business development in our industry."

Assurant Mortgage Solutions has acquired three industry-leading companies since 2013:

• StreetLinks Lender Solutions, a provider of appraisals to mortgage originators;
• Assurant Field Asset Services, a provider of inspections and property preservation to mortgage servicers; and
• eMortgage Logic, a provider of valuation services to originators, servicers, and investors.

"Even though these companies are recognized leaders in each of their segments, our business unit is new," Meirink said. "We are positioned to set a new industry standard with our integrated approach to engaging clients across our various companies."
