I have originated and closed thousands of mortgages over the last 27 years. I have also managed Loan Officers for more than 18 years. There are 2 things that have helped me become successful during that time. The first one is listening to clients; I've learned to let the client speak. This will help in structuring the best loan for the client's needs. The second is my attention to detail. In todays mortgage market, a Loan Officer could miss a small detail that may cause a delay or even a decline. In order to close loans in 21 days, it is very important that the company you are associated with has a support staff of talented and professional people. With its forward-thinking leadership, CMG Financial is that company. Education

Giving back is an important part of CMG Financial’s culture and gives us a “why” to what we do. Since 2011, we have worked to raise nearly $3 million for non-profits that align with our values and are dedicated to improving the lives of those in need. At our annual Wine Tasting and Charity Auction, we sponsor: the Gary Sinise Foundation, the Cancer Support Community, and the MBA Opens Doors Foundation.
The Gary Sinise Foundation creates and supports unique programs designed to entertain, educate, inspire, strengthen, and build communities. Their R.I.S.E. program (Restoring Independence Supporting Empowerment), builds specially adapted smart homes for America’s most severely wounded defenders, veterans, and first responders.
The Mortgage Bankers Association's Opens Doors Foundation and its Home Grant Program provides mortgage and rental payment assistance to families with critically ill or injured children, allowing families to be by a child's side during treatment.
