Bloom has been in the mortgage business for 31 years, 24 years as a sales manager, and will be covering the East Coast from Virginia to Maine. His extensive network positions him well to help grow Parkside’s presence in the area.
 
“I am pleased to join a company that gives me the opportunity to grow a region,” said Bloom. “And Parkside’s excellent service and commitment to their customers is worth expanding.”
 
Plezia has 30-plus years of mortgage experience in the New York market, receiving Top Performer and Chairman’s Club Winner awards during her tenure. Nichols has more than 20 years of industry experience as a wholesale and correspondent account executive in downstate New York, specializing in jumbo, conventional, FHA and VA loans.
