An expansion of its wholesale lending channel has Carrington Mortgage Services LLC opening a new office and adding new employees.
A wholesale operations center has been opened in Jacksonville, Fla., the Santa Ana, Calif.-based company announced Thursday.
Carrington said the expansion is a sign of its commitment to growing its wholesale business in 2014.
The new office, which opened on Nov. 18, is being led by Richard Dybel, divisional sales manager, and Jawana Thomas, director of operations.
Both Dybel and Thomas previously worked for EverBank Financial Corp., which in July dislcosed that it was closing its wholesale channel.
Staffing at the new operation is eventually expected to reach between 35 and 50 employees, according to a separate statement from the company. By the time the office is fully staffed, a new location might be required to accommodate all of the employees.
Carrington Mortgage reported that its national staffing across all business lines currently stands at 500 employees.
