Planet Home Loansa national mortgage lender and servicer, has expanded its retail operations in the western U.S. with the addition of Kris Kehl as a senior loan officer in California.
Kehl, who brings more than two decades of experience to the role, will focus on serving homebuyers and real estate agents as part of the company’s distributed retail team.
His background includes creating a range of lending products, including conventional and government loans, as well as reverse mortgages and non-QM loans for business owners and real estate investors.
“Kris has an exceptional ability to serve homebuyers and their agents,” said Matt Payan, Planet’s senior vice president of national manufacturing for distributed retail. “His depth of experience and dedication to helping borrowers find realistic paths to homeownership make him a great addition to our team.”
Kehl was most recently a senior LO for Paramount residential mortgage group (PRMG), according to his LinkedIn profile.
“Affordability is a major concern for many homebuyers I work with in today’s market,” Kehl said. “I encourage first-time buyers to think about homeownership as a long-term strategy for building wealth. For many people, an entry-level or transitional home is a smart first step that builds equity and creates real opportunity over time.”
The addition of Kehl to the team marks a new hire for the Connecticut-based company. Last week, Planet Financial Group LLCthe parent company of Planet Home Lending, announced it has hired Scott Henley as correspondent regional sales manager.
