New team focuses on construction lending in Northwest
PORTLAND, Ore., May 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Planet Home
Lending, LLC, a national mortgage lender and servicer, has a new
team in Portland, Ore. led by Area
Sales Manager Tim Hattan (NMLS
# 220099) and Sales Manager Tom
Bond (NMLS #122912) and Loan Officer Dalton Clark (NMLS #193474).
The team's extensive experience in mortgage and construction
lending is a huge asset to Planet's Northwest expansion efforts and
helps to serve borrowers in the Portland area, especially those looking to
work with builders to realize their homeownership dream. Hattan and
Bond's expertise in construction financing as well as their
understanding of the systems needed to gain more efficiency will
serve as a strong foundation for Planet Home Lending to grow its
presence.
"Planet is in a unique position because there are very few
non-depository lenders offering a construction product," Hattan
said. "That is only one of the great things I think Planet brings
to the area that were not here before. We plan to open other
offices in Salem, Eugene, Medford and the Bend/Redmond
area and believe they will have a positive effect in the
communities we want to serve."
With the continued tight housing market in Portland, if buyers do not find a home that
checks all the boxes on their list, Hattan and Bond can help them
determine if a construction loan will be a viable option.
"Planet's unique product suite and dedication to the planet is
the perfect fit for the Pacific Northwest and will attract
productive employees and allow them to flourish," Hattan added.
Both Hattan and Bond also have experience with conventional,
FHA, VA, and jumbo mortgage programs. Planet also offers bridge
loans to help bridge the gap between buying and selling a home.
With more than 27 years of mortgage industry experience, Hattan
understands the importance of how construction lending can open
opportunities in the homebuying process.
"We are very excited to have Tim and Tom come aboard not only
because of their experience in construction lending but in their
ability to effectively build and manage relationships with builders
and borrowers," said Caleb
Mittelstet, EVP, National Production Distributed Retail
Sales. "We make it a point to offer products that meet the needs of
each market we serve. Tim and Tom will help Planet do that
effectively in the Pacific Northwest."
Along with local expertise, Planet Home Lending offers a
personal digital mortgage assistant, Skymore by Planet Home
Lending™, which consumers can use to apply for a home loan from
anywhere via their mobile device. Borrowers and real estate agents
(with the borrower's permission) can track loan progress 24/7,
reach out to ask their loan officer questions and submit paperwork
electronically, to reduce reliance on paper.
Planet Home Lending supports a healthy environment through a
tree-planting partnership with the National Forest Foundation.
Over four years, the company has funded the planting of a
quarter-million trees to help restore national forests.
