New channel built around ‘relationship‑first’ brokers
“We’re building this wholesale channel with the same relationship‑first commitment that has powered our joint venture success for the past two decades,” Peña said.
“Brokers deserve a partner who shows up for them—seasoned account executives who know how to earn trust, high‑touch support when it matters most, and a team that understands their business.”
“We’re combining that relationship‑driven approach with the digital convenience and efficiency brokers expect today, creating a best‑in‑class platform our broker partners can rely on to deliver an exceptional experience to their customers,” Peña said.
As part of the push, Mancasola returned to loanDepot as vice president of wholesale lending after more than 25 years in the channel, including leadership roles at Wachovia Securities, Caliber Home Loans and Homepoint.
Reentry into a strengthening wholesale market
“Serving brokers through wholesale naturally expands our multi‑channel origination strategy and complements our direct‑to‑consumer, in‑market retail, joint venture, and servicing businesses,” loanDepot founder and CEO Anthony Hsieh said.
