Brandon Rush, senior vice president and head of Digital Experience for Single-Family Acquisitions, supports Freddie Mac’s mission of making home possible by designing and developing the digital products to support mortgage origination and foster liquidity, stability and affordability in the housing market. He is an innovative leader, responsible for the loan origination and quality control technology that enables sellers to bring products to the borrower. By prioritizing consistency in the market, speed and predictability in execution, and exceeding industry risk standards, he is leading the way to reduce the cost and friction of mortgage origination through technology and innovation.
Under Rush’s leadership, the digital experience department, which includes the single-family acquisitions technology and product delivery team, develops the digital products and technologies for sellers. The team develops, maintains and improves applications and shared technology services for the acquisitions division.
Rush laid the foundation for generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) efforts, actively looking at ways to utilize artificial intelligence to help lenders support more borrowers, reduce the cost to originate a mortgage and sustain a home, and more broadly support the company’s mission, including helping to further its duty to serve and affordable goals. Rush and his teams are researching GenAI use cases that will be most helpful for the mortgage industry like helping lenders navigate the complexity of down payment assistance programs by standardizing program information in side-by-side comparison charts through the DPA One tool.
