Real estate financial services provider Chronos Solutions announced it appointed four industry veterans — Matt Harrick, Darcy Patch, John Macias and Edward Gonzalez — to lead its growing lending services business.

In his new role, the 20-year sales and business development veteran will lead a team of sales executives focused on delivering Chronos Solutions’ credit, tax, title, flood and other lending services to clients in the middle market segment. He will also be tasked with introducing a series of new tools and solutions obtained through the recently completed acquisition of technology provider Cogent Road within the loan origination market.
“I look forward to the opportunity to introduce Chronos’ origination-focused tools and offerings to the industry,” Harrick said. “It’s Chronos’ ability to offer wide-ranging and comprehensive solutions in combination with service levels that compare to those of an elite boutique that make us the new model for real estate finance service providers."
