LEES SUMMIT, Mo., June 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Pendo, a
nationwide appraisal management company, announced that company
co-founder Jeff Sandman has been
named one of HousingWire magazine's "Rising Stars" for
2017.
For the fourth consecutive year, the HousingWire Rising Star
program has recognized some of the housing industry's best young
leaders, as chosen by the HousingWire editorial staff based on the
candidate's tangible accomplishments in the last 12 months. This
year, there were 40 winners representing every sector of the
housing economy, including residential mortgage lending, servicing,
investing and real estate, as well as those in advocacy positions,
like nonprofits and governmental agencies.
The winners demonstrate leadership and innovation that not only
inspires those within their own companies, but also in their
communities and in the industry at large. Each winner is 40 years
of age or younger.
"The Rising Stars are somewhat smaller this year as we increased
the level of applicant scrutiny. While many great people were
nominated, we continue to only select the true Rising Stars — those
who greatly impact not just their worlds but the mortgage world as
well," said Jacob Gaffney,
editor-in-chief of HousingWire. "This award just keeps getting
better and better with each passing year, and we encourage those
who didn't make the cut to keep trying. That is, after all, a true
hallmark of a HousingWire Rising Star."
Sandman, who co-founded Pendo in 2009, was recognized for
creating policies that not only assure the company's continued
elevated service standards for clients, vendors and employees
alike, but also establish a template that could elevate the
standard of service in the appraisal segment.
Sandman, in conjunction with business partner Mike Peck,
masterminded Pendo's higher employee pay structures and
hierarchies, which he credits to attracting and retaining
high-quality talent for client-facing roles — positions that are
traditionally plagued with performance issues and high turnover. He
also established the company's round-the-clock accessibility and
rapid response times, which have not only reduced delays, but also
boosted the company's service-focus image among clients, partners
and vendors.
"We are excited to recognize these young leaders, who have
accomplished so much in their short careers," said Sarah Wheeler, HousingWire Magazine Editor. "Our
Rising Stars are the luminaries shaping the housing industry into a
more agile, efficient and profitable model, expanding the
opportunity for homeownership to borrowers across a wide spectrum.
"Our Rising Stars are always smart and talented, but one of the
things that characterized our winners this year was the sheer scope
of what they accomplished for their companies. They drove
impressive results, whether they were measured by growth, profit or
innovation."
