Polunsky Beitel Green Hires Jeanine LaMay Kay for Business Development

Polunsky Beitel Green LLP, a prominent law firm specializing in transactional residential mortgage lending, announced this week the addition of Jeanine LaMay Kay to its business development team. Kay will be based in the firm's Dallas office and will focus on strengthening client relationships and supporting the firm's national expansion efforts. This strategic hire follows the recent addition of Kimberly Friesenhahn to the business development team in February, underscoring PBG's commitment to growth.

Kay brings over two decades of experience in the residential real estate, mortgage lending, title insurance, and homebuilding sectors. Her expertise includes strategic growth, channel partnerships, and client relationship management. Previously, she served for over a decade as vice president of business development at 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty, a division of Frontdoor Inc. In this role, she was responsible for revenue and growth in the central region and managed some of the company's largest national builder accounts. During her tenure, she reportedly helped increase the company's Texas market share from under 5% to over 15% within five years.

Prior to her role at 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty, Kay held various leadership positions at First American Financial Corp. for approximately 10 years. Her responsibilities there spanned national accounts, sales operations, market intelligence, and strategic initiatives. Marty Green, a principal at PBG, commented on Kay's appointment, highlighting her proven ability to build high-performing teams and drive growth in complex markets. He also noted that her background in the homebuilder and title insurance industries offers a valuable perspective for the firm's clients.

Kay expressed her enthusiasm for joining Polunsky Beitel Green, stating that she has observed PBG's reputation for trust within the homebuilding and lending industries. She views her move to the firm as a logical progression and is eager to contribute to deepening client relationships.
