"We have long wanted to expand our service to the people of Pittsburgh, and opening this branch is a great way to kick off 2021," said Ron Leonhardt, CrossCountry Mortgage CEO. "In addition to his tremendous expertise as a loan originator, Kevin is dedicated to the Pittsburgh community. His values align perfectly with ours."

"CCM allows me to offer a wider range of products, more competitive rates, and even better service to my clients and referral partners. Perhaps most important to me, CCM shares my commitment to the community," said Giza.
