Mortgage lender’s head of
Direct To Consumer lending receives award recognizing significant
contributions to mortgage banking and real estate
NewRez LLC (“NewRez”), national mortgage lending and servicing
organization, proudly announced today that Debbie Knotts, Senior
Vice President of Direct To Consumer Lending, has been named one of
HousingWire’s 2020 Women of Influence. The program honors 100 women
in both mortgage banking and real estate across the United States
housing economy who have made significant contributions to the
industry as well as their respective businesses.
Debbie Knotts joined NewRez in September of 2019, and since that
time has facilitated enormous growth for her business channel. Her
team has grown month-over-month, increasing funded volume by
approximately 74% while growing monthly lock volume over 200%.
Having spent 25 years in the industry prior to starting with
NewRez, Debbie is no stranger to implementing innovative
initiatives to build success within her division. During her career
she spearheaded an educational program for those looking to break
into the mortgage industry. “The Lab” at NewRez is the latest
version of that program, helping develop career paths for new
salespeople and ultimately aiding Debbie in creating an incredibly
driven and successful sales team. Since the start of the pandemic
in March, not only has Debbie managed to dramatically increase her
team’s productivity, but she has also found creative ways to engage
and recognize her staff while working remotely.
“Debbie is an inspiration to anyone who has the pleasure to work
with her as she brings a unique combination of skills to her role,”
said Baron Silverstein, President NewRez LLC. “She merges her
breadth of experience in leading a call center with a data-driven
mindset, using analytics to drive results for the organization.
Debbie is equally focused on culture and employee engagement,
encouraging her team to offer their opinions, and incorporating
them into a comprehensive strategy that she regularly and openly
shares with the whole Direct To Consumer staff. She knows how to
lead, inspire, and celebrate her team.”
“This year’s Women of Influence represent leaders who have faced
some of the most unprecedented challenges the housing industry has
seen in years,” HousingWire Magazine Editor Kelsey Ramirez said.
“Their strength set an example of leadership that impacted not just
their teams or companies, but the industry overall. This was one of
the most competitive years we have ever seen for the award, and we
are proud to introduce you to the top 100 Women of Influence.
