DPR hires Veronica Chapa, Lori Johnson and Lisa Rhodes
ATLANTA, Ga. /Massachusetts Newswire – National News/ — Down Payment Resource (DPR), the housing industry’s leading technology for connecting homebuyers with homebuyer assistance programs, today announced the addition of three new team members to support growing demand for down payment assistance (DPA) programs.
“We’ve been in this business since 2008 and have never seen more interest in – and frankly more need for – DPA from both homebuyers and lenders. In response, DPA administrators are growing the number of DPA programs available and expanding the inventory box with programs that support funding for purchases of manufactured homes and multi-family properties,” said DPR Founder and CEO Rob Chrane.
“Accordingly, demand for DPR’s lender suite, which supports DPA origination from lead generation to processing and underwriting to secondary sales, has grown. Combined with our recent integration with the ICE Encompass® loan origination system, DPR has a very bright future, and we’re happy our team is growing to meet market needs.”
DPR’s three hires are:
:: Veronica Chapa, sales engineer
As sales engineer, Veronica Chapa will accelerate customer acquisition, revenue growth and market penetration at Down Payment Resource. Chapa has an extensive mortgage industry background, having served in various roles at mortgage lenders and mortgage technology companies, including Optimal Blue and Ellie Mae (now ICE Mortgage Technology).
:: Lorrie Johnson, customer success specialist
As a customer success specialist, Lorrie Johnson works on the frontlines with our lender and real estate clients to coordinate customer success initiatives including onboarding, adoption and retention efforts. Johnson has an extensive background in real estate, customer service and sales.
