Great things are happening here at Waterstone Mortgage, and we’re thrilled to share some fantastic news with you! We recently welcomed Margie Hennessey as our new Vice President of Eastern Region Sales, and we couldn't be more excited to see the incredible impact she’ll have on our team.
Margie’s Mission: Growth, Talent, and Community Impact
In her new role, Margie will lead the charge of expanding our East Division, focusing on talent acquisition and helping our team grow. She will work hand-in-hand with our East Region managers and recruiting team to open new branches and bring in top-tier loan originators to elevate our existing teams. It’s all about strengthening our roots and making homeownership more accessible for everyone.
“We are thrilled to welcome Margie to our Waterstone Mortgage team,” says Waterstone Mortgage President & CEO Jeff McGuiness. “Her experience and energy will be invaluable as we continue to build a robust and dynamic team in the East.”
Margie looks forward to expanding the Waterstone Mortgage sales team in her new position.
“Waterstone Mortgage is truly an industry unicorn, and I’m excited and honored to join,” she says. “My immediate priority is to ensure every top mortgage professional in the East region knows our unique offerings and why loan officers, teams, and branches significantly increase production, income, and career stability with us.”
A Trailblazer with a Unique Background
Margie isn’t your average VP. With more than 21 years in the mortgage industry (15 of those in senior leadership roles), she brings a ton of experience to the table. But what makes her story even more incredible is her unique background. Margie is fluent in American Sign Language (ASL) and spent over 15 years as a nationally certified ASL interpreter before transitioning into the mortgage world. Talk about a diverse skill set!
Not only that, but Margie is also an ICF-accredited Life Coach, using her coaching expertise to guide her team to success. Her leadership style isn’t just about hitting goals; it’s about empowering others to reach their full potential and create lasting, positive impacts in their communities.
A Passion for Homeownership and Community
Margie has a passion for helping communities thrive, and this drives her every day. Whether it’s building high-performance teams or advancing homeownership opportunities for those who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing, Margie is committed to making a difference. Her team at Signing Home Loans is a prime example of this, offering 100% communication access and top-notch services to ensure every client’s needs are met.
A New Chapter in Tampa Bay
After 28 years of living in the Washington, DC Metro area, Margie and her husband, Sean Hennessey, decided to make a big move to sunny Tampa Bay. There, Margie enjoys spending quality time with her family (and her two adorable Rhodesian Ridgebacks), getting outdoors, and indulging in her love of reading (actual books, printed on real paper, of course).
Speaking of Sean… he’s also part of the Waterstone Mortgage team! Sean (Branch Manager, Ashburn, VA) brings over 20 years of experience and has been recognized as one of the top mortgage professionals in the country. Together, Margie and Sean make a powerhouse team that is committed to helping families achieve their dreams of homeownership.
