Company appoints mortgage and real estate veteran Kathryn McKissick as its leader

loanDepot, Inc. (NYSE: LDI) and Onx Homes, announced that their new joint venture, ONX X+ Mortgage, is now serving homebuyers in Florida and Texas. The partnership pairs Onx Homes’ innovative approach to homebuilding with loanDepot’s best-in-class lending platform to deliver a seamless, tech-forward mortgage experience for new construction homebuyers.

“With our joint venture now serving customers in Florida and Texas, we’re thrilled to continue our work transforming and streamlining the homebuying experience for our customers,” said Onx Homes Chief Operating Officer Ravi Bhat. “By bringing Onx’s groundbreaking design and construction model together with loanDepot’s unmatched lending expertise, we’re making it faster, easier, and more accessible for more families to achieve the dream of homeownership.”

ONX X+ Mortgage has appointed mortgage industry veteran Kathryn McKissick as branch manager. With more than 20 years of experience spanning loan originations, processing, and management, McKissick most recently served as a loan consultant for loanDepot’s joint venture with LGI Homes, LGI Mortgage Solutions. She also previously supported homebuilders in a similar role as a builder loan consultant at loanDepot. Before entering the mortgage industry, she spent eight years as a licensed Realtor. In her new role, McKissick will lead the joint venture’s business growth and day-to-day operations, focused on delivering a smooth, streamlined financing experience for ONX X+ Mortgage customers.

“Kathryn is a trusted and dynamic leader with the experience and insight needed to guide our new joint venture,” said loanDepot Executive Vice President of National Joint Ventures Dan Peña. “Her deep understanding of both the lending and new home construction businesses, paired with her commitment to customer-first service, makes her a natural choice to lead ONX X+ Mortgage.”

“This joint venture brings together two outstanding companies that share the same values of innovation and customer excellence,” said McKissick. “I’ve always believed in the power of homeownership to change lives, and that belief has guided my entire career. I’m excited to lead this business and help make that experience even more meaningful for the customers we serve.”
