Hepp also held the role of chief economist at Trulia, senior economist at the California Association of Realtors, and economist and manager for public policy and homeownership research at the National Association of Realtors. Early in her career, Hepp was a special research assistant at the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
“I am honored and thrilled to lead our team as we continue to generate industry-leading, data-driven insights and thought-provoking perspectives on all things housing. Given the challenges of today’s housing market, CoreLogic’s depth, wealth, and consistency of data position us to provide clear and actionable views of the property ecosystem and bring value to our clients and broader markets,” Hepp said.
