The former VP co-led Freddie’s conventional production and sales team
Freddie Mac Multifamily has announced the promotion of Richard Martinez to senior vice president of multifamily production and sales.
Martinez, who has worked at Freddie Mac for over three decades, will oversee production for all product lines for Optigo, Freddie Mac Multifamily’s network of approved lenders, including conventional, small balance, target affordable housing and seniors housing.
Prior to taking his new role, Martinez was interim co-lead for Freddie Mac’s conventional production and sales team, alongside Peter Giles. He joined Freddie Mac Multifamily in 1988 as managing regional director of the central region, and assumed the role of vice president of production and sales in 2012.
Martinez will continue to report to Debby Jenkins, executive vice president and head of Freddie Mac Multifamily.
“Richard has spent three decades building relationships throughout the industry and ushering countless deals to completion,” Jenkins said. “His commitment to the Freddie Mac team, our lenders and borrowers, and our mission is exceptional – as is his impact on our business and industry.”
