Quicken Loans Mortgage Services this week announced the creation of the role of vice president of sales and its appointment of Paul Yatooma to the new position.

In this role, Yatooma will be tasked with working with QLMS partners. According to the company, he will work closely with QLMS’ banking, operations and technology teams with a goal of ensuring the company delivers products and innovations that meet the needs of broker partners.

“Meeting the needs of our community by delivering the best price, products and technology has always been at the core of what we do,” said Austin Niemiec, executive vice president of QLMS. “Now, with Paul gathering insights from brokers across America, we are better positioned to spot trends in the industry and quickly clear hurdles for our partners.”

No stranger to the company, Yatooma has been with Quicken Loans since 2007. He started as senior director of mortgage banking before serving as a divisional vice president at QLMS, leading a team of account executives.

Only a week prior to the announcement of Yatooma’s promotion, Quicken Loans announced it is now the first lender to develop the capabilities to perform electronic mortgage closings in all 50 states. According to the company, it now has 6,000 partners, a figure that is more than double the number from the start of 2018.
