Planet Home Lending has hired Matt Kingsborough as Regional Sales Manager, bringing more than two decades of experience in mortgage lending and an exceptional track record of leadership and innovation to the position. Kingsborough has been tasked to drive Planet Home Lending’s expansion in the Western U.S.

“Stepping into Planet Home Lending marks a pivotal chapter in my career,” Kingsborough said. “It’s an opportunity to align with an organization that not only values excellence and innovation in mortgage lending, but also deeply invests in the growth and success of its sales professionals. I’m here to build on our presence in the West by fostering an environment where mortgage loan originators and branch managers can truly thrive.”

Twenty-plus years of industry experience

Prior to joining Planet Home Lending, Kingsborough served as a Multistate Regional Area Manager for HomeBridge Financial Services, and Prospect Mortgage’s Northern California Regional Manager.

“We are thrilled to have Matt on board,” Bosley said. “His vision for the future of mortgage lending aligns with our commitment to excellence and innovation. Together, we’re poised to offer unmatched opportunities for our mortgage loan originators and branch managers, setting new benchmarks for success in the competitive housing markets of the Western U.S.”
