As part of a footprint extension plan, ResMAE Mortgage Corp. recently announced it opened a regional loan processing center in Edison, N.J.

But not all the employment news is good for the mortgage industry.
Ameriquest Mortgage Co. recently laid off about 10% of its 15,000-plus workforce, a spokesman told MortgageDaily.com. The layoffs were reportedly spread throughout the nation, but details about specific jobs were not disclosed.
