HarborOne Bank has expanded into the Merrimack Valley with the opening of a residential lending office in Westford.

Since last month, HarborOne Bank has provided residential lending services from its new office on Route 110 in Westford. The branch opening advances HarborOne’s plans to expand services throughout New England and will feature a HarborOne leader with more than 20 years of experience helping men and women obtain the financing they need to help them own their own homes.

“For decades, HarborOne Bank has helped members of the community finance and own their homes throughout Southeastern Massachusetts, and we’re looking forward to expanding our residential lending expertise into the Merrimack Valley,” said HarborOne President and CEO James W. Blake. “We have a talented, personable team of experienced lenders who know the region and will help customers navigate the mortgage process to refinance existing loans as well as purchase and build new homes.”

The expansion into the Merrimack Valley builds on HarborOne’s growing focus on mortgage origination. Last year the bank acquired Merrimack Mortgage Company, Inc. of Manchester, NH – a privately held home loan originator that averages $1 billion in home loans each year.

HarborOne’s new Westford office is located in Suite 103 at 238 Littleton Road in Westford. Glen Marshall, who joined HarborOne Bank earlier this year, will be a producing Mortgage Branch Manager in Westford and he is excited to bring local decision-making and servicing to a wide array of mortgage loan products including: conventional, portfolio construction and rehabilitation loans, FHA, VA, and MassHousing Programs.

Marshall will oversee HarborOne’s expanded presence in the region as mortgage originators work with customers to help them finance their homes. A Lowell native, Marshall has specialized in residential lending for over two decades, most recently at Workers' Credit Union and the Homestead Funding Corporation.
