Planet Home Lending Appoints Melony Harpe To Head Construction Sales

Planet Home Lending hired Melony Harpe as vice president, construction sales manager recently. 

With over 20 years of construction lending experience, the Connecticut-based lender and servicer said Harpe's strategic approach will empower Planet's mortgage loan officers and branches to increase their construction loan volume in 2024.

"We're excited to welcome Melony to the Planet Home Lending team," said Planet's President of Mortgage Lending John Bosley. "Her extensive experience in construction lending aligns perfectly with our commitment to providing top-notch support for our sales professionals."

Harpe will work closely with mortgage loan officers to increase their sales of new home construction loans. 

"We want MLOs and retail branches to feel confident and supported in their construction lending efforts," Harpe said. "My role is to ensure they have the tools and resources needed to navigate the complexities of construction lending and expand their connections with builders."

Harpe previously worked at Gateway Mortgage Group as the construction lending manager. 

"Melony's unique background in construction lending positions Planet to continue providing innovative and sustainable mortgage solutions," Bosley said. "We anticipate not only enhanced support for our mortgage loan officers and retail branches but also a significant upswing in construction loan volume in the coming year."
