JPMorgan Chase & Co. plans to recruit 275 more home mortgage lenders to its Texas branches during the next six months, officials said this week. We want to make sure we have seasoned mortgage professionals to help our customers, said Jim Gerritsen, manager for Chase's home lending team in Texas, in a statement. We know home loans are core to our relationship with consumers and especially important as the housing market begins to recover.
Of the the total, 25 will be hired in Austin and 25 will go to San Antonio. Another 100 will join Houston branches and 125 will open in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area.
Chase operates about 70 Austin branches.
