Francois L. Madath
President

At ARC, Francois is responsible for overall business operations. Since purchasing ARC in January 2007, Francois has focused ARC's strategy and resources on providing Community Banks, Credit Unions and Mortgage Bankers with a high degree of service and quality for each of ARC's products (credit, appraisal, escrow, education).

Francois is also responsible for developing our education line into becoming an added value to our clients. Clients can use our knowledge to provide classes to their borrowers, current clients or lending staff to close more loans.

 

Francois’ background includes working for Bank of America and Washington Mutual in their Credit Risk departments. Francois was responsible for managing multiple management tiers, several hundred employees and budgets in excess of $30 million. Francois also spent time as part of the due diligence teams focused on acquisition analysis.

“Listen, communicate, and keep it simple” are some core beliefs Francois has when working with both internal procedures and dealing with ARC’s client base. One of the advantages of ARC’s size is that we can tailor our products to the needs of our diverse client base.

Francois is a certified appraiser and escrow officer and holds the treasurer position at SMBA (Seattle Mortgage Bankers Association).
