Mortgage Compliance Firm Expands as New Regulations Take Effect
Durham, NC, March 28, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Cognitive Options Group, a national consulting firm specializing in mortgage compliance and loan due diligence reviews, is expanding the firm due to increasing demand for their services as new mortgage banking regulations and rules from the CFPB are being implemented.
Cognitive Options Group has hired Dante Jackson as the firm’s Operations Manager and Michael Richardson to be the Director of Special Projects.
Dante Jackson has 18 years of mortgage banking experience including holding management and senior underwriting positions at Wells Fargo and Bank of America.
