About Us

CrossCountry Mortgage

Back in 2003, our founder and CEO, Ron Leonhardt, started CrossCountry Mortgage (CCM) with one goal: become a nationwide mortgage lender that helps people with clear and fast home loans. 

 

Fast forward to years later and we’ve done just that — and became America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender.  

Who We Are

CCM is America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender. We have more than 7,000 employees operating over 700 branches and servicing loans across all 50 states, D.C. and Puerto Rico. In 2025, our team closed over 131,000 home purchases — making 1 in 35 homes a CCM home.  

Our company has been recognized 10 times on the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private businesses, received many awards for our standout culture and been named the nation’s top retail lender by Scotsman Guide and Mortgage Executive Magazine.  

We offer more than 120 purchase, refinance and home equity solutions — ranging from conventional and jumbo mortgages to government-insured programs from FHA and programs for Veterans and rural homebuyers — and we are a direct lender and approved seller and servicer by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae.  

Through our dedication to getting it done, we make every mortgage feel like a win. 

Headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio

While we’re a nationwide company with branches serving communities around the country, our main home sweet home is in Cleveland, Ohio. Our downtown state-of-the-art HQ gives local employees everything they need to do their job — and have fun while doing it. We also have an ultra-modern gym, beautiful atrium, cool art and comfy lounge spaces.

Join the CCM team.
