According to a press release, Giza will also be joined by three loan originators and there are also plans for continued growth already in the pipeline.

Giza is a top-producing loan officer with more than 20 years of experience in residential mortgage lending, according to CrossCountry. He has been nominated as a Five Star Mortgage Professional by Pittsburgh magazine for eight consecutive years and featured in Real Producers magazine several times.

"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.
