I began CrossCountry Mortgage solely as a mortgage broker in Cleveland, Ohio in 2003. My vision was to build CCM into a nationwide, full-service lender that could provide more to our customers and employees. We’ve been able to achieve that vision, and we’re continuing to expand our nationwide footprint by adding top lending talent to our roster. Today, we have headquarters in downtown Cleveland with branch offices located across the country. We’ve been a Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, and Ginnie Mae Approved Seller/Servicer since 2012 and have greatly expanded our mortgage-based solutions into a wide portfolio of home purchase, refinance, and home equity products. We’re licensed in all 50 states and Puerto Rico and have earned a number of awards and accolades along the way:- #1 Retail Mortgage Lender, 2024 Scotsman Guide Top Lender Rankings - Inc. 5000 List of America’s Fastest-Growing Companies: 10 times since 2012- USDA 2023 Top Originating Champion Award - Top Workplace, The Plain Dealer & Cleveland.com: 8 times since 2017- Best Workplace, NorthCoast 99: 7 times since 2016- Top Workplace, Weatherhead: 2016-2020, 2022 - 2022-2023 Weatherhead 100 Centurion- Downtown Cleveland Catalyst of the Year winner- Cleveland Plain Dealer Top Leader: 2022- Crain’s Power 150 list: 2022-2023Our culture is based on our core values of passion, determination, integrity, community, and teamwork.
