Christian Real Estate Organization Chooses Williams Mills Public Relations

ATLANTA - The Fellowship of Real Estate Executives (F.R.E.E.), announced the selection of William Mills Agency to manage media relations for the organization’s outreach to the mortgage and Real Estate industries. F.R.E.E. is a non-profit Christian fellowship that builds environments where mortgage and Real Estate industry professionals come together to explore their faith and provide comfort and encouragement for all participants. William Mills Agency is the nation’s largest public relations firm serving the mortgage and financial industries.

David Lykken founded F.R.E.E. in 2001, according to the mortgage industry consultant, to fill a void within the mortgage and Real Estate industries. After attending dozens of industry conferences over three decades, Lykken noticed that there were special interest groups, panel discussions and other venues set up for every aspect covering industry management decisions, codes and issues. However, none of these outlets provided a Judeo/Christian forum that many industry leaders and professionals base their business principles and decisions on.

“Forming F.R.E.E. was both a calling from God and a response to conversations I had with many friends and associates,” said Lykken. “Professionals in our industries understand their work is vitally important. The decisions they make not only affect individual homebuyers and sellers, but collectively, those decisions affect our entire economy. If this is so, then how could something so important as our faith and our Christian principles be left out of any business decision process? This fellowship is an outreach that encourages people to say that it’s okay to seek guidance and base important business decisions on your faith, and it’s also okay to discuss and share faith related issues with others in our industry.”

Lykken began his career in the mortgage lending industry in 1973 and has held positions as president and CEO of several mortgage companies, as well as a leading mortgage technology company. He currently owns and operates Mortgage Banking Services Direct (MBSD), a national management consulting business focused primarily on the mortgage industry.

“William Mills Agency is proud to be a part of this organization and helping it become a prominent outreach in the mortgage and Real Estate industries,” said Kelly Williams, Senior Vice President of William Mills Agency.
