Allen KenKnight, Former President of Prestige Mortgage, Joins Immediately

ATLANTA, GA, April 13, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Allen KenKnight, who grew Prestige Mortgage to be one of the largest mortgage lenders in Georgia before briefly joining forces with Main Street Home Loans in 2010, has found a new home for his 25 employees in three offices in the Metro Atlanta area. KenKnight and his team are joining forces with Southeast Mortgage, a full service Georgia mortgage lender and one of the state's largest independent non-bank mortgage lenders. Linda Devine, mortgage industry veteran and active member of the Mortgage Bankers Association of Georgia, is also joining Southeast with the KenKnight team.

"Allen's experience in the mortgage industry, consumer service expectations and understanding of real estate agent support is perfectly aligned with Southeast Mortgage's commitment to Georgia consumers and the real estate agent community," said Cal Haupt, president and CEO of Southeast Mortgage.

Allen KenKnight has more than 28 years of experience in the mortgage industry and was previously honored with the Diamond Award, the highest level of achievement in the mortgage industry, and the President's Award for 1998-2008. KenKnight was recognized as a top ten mortgage originator for the past 11 years and served as the president of the Mortgage Bankers Association of Georgia and of the Atlanta Mortgage Bankers Association.

"Allen has a long history and has held numerous leadership roles with the Mortgage Bankers Association, which reinforces Southeast Mortgage's commitment to ensure consumers are getting competent advice on the correct mortgage product as well as the service they deserve."

These additions, plus the addition of the newly opened Fayetteville office, bring the total of Southeast Mortgage offices from seven to 11 - a growth of 57 percent.
