Adds locations in Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and North Carolina.

Huntsville, Ala.-based Hometown Lenders has announced nine new branches across the U.S.

Hometown recently acquired the Chris Rodgers Team, a group of mortgage advisers led by Chris Rodgers. The group consists of four locations across the Pacific Northwest: Portland, Ore., managed by Tanya Elder; Seattle, managed by Keith Hobart; Eugene, Ore., managed by Jennifer Nunley; and Kennewick, Wash., managed by Christian Albrecht.

Additionally, Hometown recently acquired four other branch locations: Lake Oswego, Ore., managed by Doug Jacobson; Albany, Ore., managed by Tammi Austin; Anchorage, Alaska, managed by Tabitha Scott; and Greenville, N.C., managed by Jessica Rutchka Smith.

A growing mortgage provider, Hometown Lenders said in a news release that it “meticulously selects and reviews established, well-respected mortgage lenders across the U.S. Utilizing this rigorous vetting process, (Hometown) decides which existing lenders are ideal fits to become new branches of Hometown Lenders.”

"We're excited to welcome the teams in Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and North Carolina to our growing Hometown Lenders family," said Hometown President John Taylor. "We emphasize development not only with volume but also with the right people, and we're pleased to partner with professionals of the highest caliber who share Hometown Lenders' core value of people over profits."

Each new branch reinforces "HTL's fundamental commitment to best serve the local hometowns where we live and work across the country,” Taylor added. “We appreciate our customers who continue to trust HTL with their mortgage lending needs, and our hardworking team looks forward to serving them long into the future.”

Hometown Lenders has over 100 branch locations and is doing business in more than 40 states.
