MADISON, N.J., March 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Realogy Holdings

"For the past two years, Dea

Management (ERM) process, and her strong leadership in this regard
has proven effective in helping our Executive Leadership Committee
and our Board of Directors continue to shape Realogy's risk
management efforts," said Richard A.

president. "Dea's move to the Enterprise Risk Management role on a
full-time basis underscores the Company's commitment to our ERM
program."

of finance for the past nine years, and we are fortunate to have
someone of his caliber ready to step in and lead the accounting
function across Realogy and its business units," said Anthony E. Hull, Realogy's chief financial

in Business by NJBIZ magazine in 2014. In her new role,
Benson will work closely with the Executive Leadership Committee
and the Board of Directors to enhance Realogy's existing ERM

impacting the Company's present and future growth. Outside of
