The new location will be led by Hugh Blevins. Joining him are mortgage loan originator Dale Lucas, lending partner Kristal Respondek and senior processor Becca McCaghy. The new team works with consumers looking for new home funding as well as those who want to use assets and investments to qualify for a home loan, rather than income. In addition, the team has experience with VA home loans and mortgages for self-employed business owners as well as retirees.

"I like having the variety of loans that Planet Home Lending offers at my disposal to help the consumers in this market," Blevins said. "We want people to know we are here for them."

San Antonio has a strong housing market fueled by multiple military bases and a large medical center.

Planet Home Lending operates in 47 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
