“Don has played an indispensable role in transforming Freddie Mac and moving the housing finance system in a better direction,” Freddie Mac chairman Christopher Lynch said in a statement.

Freddie Mac, which did nearly $75 billion in loan purchases and guarantees last year, has hired an executive-search firm to look outside the organization for a new CEO.

Freddie Mac also promoted David Brickman, former head of its multifamily business, to agency president. He’s considered the top internal candidate to succeed Layton. [CO] – Rich Bockmann
