SAN DIEGO, Calif., April 10, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Mortgage Collaborative, an independent lending cooperative serving small and mid-sized mortgage lenders and community-based lending institutions, has deepened its senior executive team with the addition of two new hires, announced the Collaborative’s Chairman, John Robbins, CMB.
