Essent Guaranty Will Start Writing MI in early 2010

Essent Guaranty of Philadelphia has been greenlighted by 35 states to write mortgage insurance policies and hopes to close its first policy early next year. "Early 2010 is when they'll start writing coverage," said a company spokeswoman. She noted that back in October Essent — which was formed by former Radian executive Mark Casale — had approvals from 24 states. On Tuesday Essent announced that it has closed on its purchase of technology assets and the operating platform of Triad Guaranty, an MI that is in self-liquidation mode.
