Christopher M. George established CMG Mortgage, Inc. in July of 1993 in Pleasanton, CA. The company began modestly with seven employees, primarily focusing on aiding homeowners and homebuyers directly through his or her refinance and purchase needs. Thus, began the Retail Lending division.
Low overhead enabled competitive pricing contributing to the company’s initial success. By 1994, the company had outgrown its office space and relocated to its current corporate office location in San Ramon, California.
