New hires bring years of experience as Edge expands its presence in the broker space
Edge Home Finance has made two key hires from Bay Equity, bringing in Kevin Grampp (pictured left) as national sales director and Molly Meeker (pictured right), a top-producing loan officer from Fresno, Calif.
Both professionals have extensive experience in the retail mortgage sector and have now made the switch to the broker channel.
Grampp, who joins Edge Home Finance from Bay Equity, brings a deep background in sales leadership, coaching, and business development. He previously served as vice president of community engagement at Bay Equity for more than a decade and has also held managerial roles at W.J. Bradley Mortgage Capital and Citi.
“With a long-standing reputation for mentoring high-performing teams, Kevin is committed to helping loan officers maximize their potential while ensuring clients receive the best mortgage solutions available,” the company said in a Press release. “Beyond his professional achievements, Kevin is deeply engaged in charity work and community outreach, reinforcing Edge’s mission of making a positive impact both in business and beyond.”
Meeker, who previously served as regional sales manager at Bay Equity Home Loans and area manager at Prospect Mortgage, made the move to Edge after recognizing the advantages of the broker model.
“In an evolving market where many independent mortgage banks (IMBs) are already incorporating wholesale lending, it’s clear that traditional retail loan officers can eliminate captive lender restrictions, access more loan options, and reduce unnecessary middle management costs - ultimately providing better pricing and flexibility to their clients,” Edge Home stated.
The company emphasized that these hires are part of its strategy to expand its broker presence and attract top-performing retail loan officers.

"Edge Home Finance continues to attract top talent because we offer loan officers true independence, the ability to shop for the best loan options for their clients, and the highest earning potential in the industry," said Tom Ahles, chief growth officer of Edge Home Finance.
