Planet Home Lending, a national mortgage lender and servicer, has added a new team in Woodbury, New York, as part of its growing presence in the Tristate area and continued expansion across the U.S. Led by Regional Vice Presidents Jason Morano and Chris Wubbenhorst, the team of more than 20 mortgage professionals speaks multiple languages as members of the diverse New York Metro community.
Morano joined Planet Home Lending to gain resources to help modern homebuyers and homeowners.
“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. “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.”
The company also participates in down payment and closing costs assistance programs to make it easier to buy a home. On the home seller side, Planet’s offers interest rate buydowns that temporarily lower the interest rate for a home’s buyers.
“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 opened in 2022.
