CrossCountry Mortgage Adds Top-Producing Team to its Northeast Regional Presence

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- CrossCountry Mortgage, LLC (CCM), a top 10 retail mortgage lender in America with headquarters in Brecksville, Ohio, is excited to announce the opening of new Philadelphia and New York branches, dramatically expanding the company's reach in the Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut markets.

"CCM is committed to providing excellent customer service through the latest technology, offering a broad range of loan products that allow us to assist more consumers, giving us access to lower rates, and sharing some really cool marketing toys to play with. As someone who is ambitious, forward-thinking, dedicated to excellence, and eager to grow, I chose CCM as the local, like-minded lender that shares my goals. The sky's the limit for us in 2021."

"With an eye on the future, I could not be happier to start a new chapter with CrossCountry Mortgage," added Logue. "It's been said that Pricing, Product, and Performance are the three Ps of the mortgage industry. CCM has all three, and more. The entrepreneurial spirit that courses through the veins of this company is electrifying, and I could not be more excited to pursue excellence and reunite with some of my favorite people in the industry."
