Planet Home Lending, a national mortgage lender and servicer, has added a new team in Woodbury, according to a company statement. The team of 20 mortgage professionals will be led by Regional Vice Presidents Jason Morano and Chris Wubbenhorst. The company notes that its staff speaks multiple languages, an asset to the diverse New York Metro community.
“The New York metro area is enriched by people from many different cultures and backgrounds,” said Michael Dubeck, CEO and President of Planet Financial Group, parent of Planet Home Lending. “The Woodbury team is impressive in the fact that together they speak a variety of languages, enabling them to better connect with borrowers, understand their goals, and deliver the solutions, resources and support they need.”
Woodbury is the second office Planet has opened in New York in recent months and just one of several that have opened this year. Part of Planet’s success can be attributed to its numerous offerings designed specifically to help homebuyers and homeowners achieve their goals.
“A good number of first-time buyers fall outside the traditional credit box because they are self-employed or bolstering their income with a second job in the gig economy,” Morano said in a statement. “While their income streams may not be standard, they are excellent candidates for homeownership. Planet has the resources we need to help these borrowers purchase a home.”
Morano plans to expand in 2023 by adding an additional 20 loan originators in Queens and North Jersey.
