San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/02/2011 -- Legacy Reverse Mortgage, one of America’s fastest growing reverse mortgage lenders in the country, has announced today that the company’s president, Jim Cory, has moved into the role of Chief Executive Officer.

The responsibility shift comes as the company sees an opportunity to strengthen its executive team to further meet and exceed the goals, mission, and vision of Legacy. Mr. Cory has worked in the reverse mortgage industry for more than 12 years, nearly as long as the industry has been in popular existence.

Mr. Cory has held executive posts at many of the nation’s most respectable reverse mortgage lenders, organizations, and oversight advisories.

During his career, Mr. Cory has served at Fannie Mae and as the Vice Chairman on the Ethics Committee for the National Reverse Mortgage Lending Association (NRMLA).

In addition to his work on the Ethics Committee, Mr. Cory accepted a position on the NRMLA Board of Directors in July 2010, a position he holds today.

As CEO, Mr. Copy is expected to focus his efforts towards refining and carrying out the company’s strategic long-term directions and will be responsible for the overall success of all departmental organizations within Legacy.

He will also take an increased role in further defining and improving the relations between the company and their customers. Last year, the company rolled out a web-based, real-time customer service chat tool on their website and also offer a 24 hour toll free help line as well.

Mr. Cory has also said he will focus on branding and launching the company’s social media presence and online marketing campaigns and efforts. Most importantly, however, the new CEO will make great efforts to realize the company’s vision and goals in servicing their customers.

“Legacy has reached significant milestones in delivering on our promise to our customers to exceed the industry’s highest ethical standards, offer the best overall quality in home financing options for seniors, and develop and nurture the relationships between our company and those we serve”, Mr. Cory said.

Todd Ausherman has assumed the position of President and Chief Operating Officer at Legacy. Mr. Ausherman had previously worked as an overseer of the company’s sales team and pipeline management. He will now be taking control of Legacy’s day-to-day operations.

The role transition within the executive management team at Legacy Reverse Mortgage will allow the company to better focus on their customers and continue to deliver an increasingly relevant product to their customers. As the industry continues to mature, so too will the San-Diego based lender.
