With the opening of a new center in Lenexa, Kan., TruHome Solutions LLC is gearing up to hire more employees to keep up with the demand for mortgage servicing.

The mortgage CUSO, which is also based in Lenexa, said its Operations Center is designed to accommodate hundreds of new employees in the coming years.

The new facility at 9601 Legler Road can accommodate 276 employees, and adds to the 136-employee capacity of TruHome's Lenexa Administration Center on 9777 Ridge Dr., for a possible total of 412 employees between the two facilities, as they currently exist, according to TruHome.

The CUSO said it moved all operations including loan originators, outside sales, processors, underwriters, closers and operations assistance to the new location in early June.

Executive leadership, client relations, legal and compliance, servicing, and secondary marketing remain in the original nearby administration center location, TruHome said.

“Now that we have the new location with physical space to expand, we look forward to continuing our aggressive hiring plan as a means to fulfill the increasing demand for mortgage solutions,” said Keith Varney, president of TruHome.

While all options were considered in the search for the new location, the Kansas Department of Commerce offered the most attractive incentives, some of which included training dollars and its Promoting Employment Across Kansas program, according to TruHome.

“I'm excited to see TruHome Solutions expanding in Kansas and creating hundreds of new jobs,” Kansas Commerce Secretary Pat George said. “The investment the company is making in the state will help drive economic growth in Kansas. That is great for the Kansas business environment and for Kansas workers.”

TruHome said several factors played into the decision to choose the particular Legler Road building in Lenexa, including easy access to the administration center location and ample parking, as well as expansion capabilities within the new facility for future company growth.

“We are pleased and honored that TruHome Solutions has chosen to locate their facility in Lenexa,” said Blake Schreck, president of the Lenexa Chamber of Commerce. “It is exciting to see their continued growth and success. We are proud to have them as a corporate citizen, and very much appreciate the commitment they have made to our community.”
