Celebrating Innovation, Transition, and Continued Commitment to Secure Real Estate Solutions
At TrustFunds, we’re excited to share a significant milestone in our journey as we welcome Michelle Steinmetzer as our new President. Michelle brings a wealth of expertise in operations and strategy, positioning TrustFunds for continued growth and innovation in secure, efficient payment solutions for the real estate industry.
This leadership transition marks the next chapter for TrustFunds, a company that began as a pioneer—introducing the first electronic earnest money solution in the United States. Today, our technology remains at the forefront, streamlining transactions and supporting agents, brokerages, title partners, and their clients nationwide.
We also celebrate Lynn Leegard, the visionary founder of TrustFunds, who is transitioning from her role as President to serve as an advisor. Lynn’s innovative spirit and commitment to integrity shaped not only our products but also our culture. Her mantra, “More time for more life,” continues to inspire us as she moves into this new phase, sharing her insight and experience with the team.
As part of this transition, Cody Osegard—TrustFunds first employee and a key contributor from the beginning—has been promoted to Senior Vice President of Product and Technology. Cody will continue leading the development of secure, user-focused payment technology, ensuring that our solutions meet the evolving needs of real estate professionals.
With Michelle’s leadership, Cody’s expanded role, and Lynn’s continued guidance, TrustFunds remains dedicated to simplifying and securing real estate transactions. Our commitment to innovation and service excellence will help agents, brokerages, and title partners thrive in a rapidly changing industry.
