“We are very excited to have Judie join our team at Scott Griffin,” said Aliza Falk, chief operating officer. “With our founder Scott Griffin hosting a national show on CNBC, it made sense to expand the mortgage division to the national spotlight, and Judie has a proven track record of recruiting the perfect talent for growth. We are so thrilled to bring on such a talented and passionate industry leader.”

“I am honored and humbled to be welcomed into my new work family while still maintaining a pure partnership with UWM,” Levitt said in a statement. “I am honored to have watched UWM grow from humble beginnings to a publicly-traded mega lender with close to 10,000 team members. There are far too many people to thank… but you all know who you are.”
