CrossCountry Mortgage Leads Industry in Veteran Loan Officer Rankings
Eighteen loan officers from CrossCountry Mortgage have secured spots on the 2026 Scotsman Guide Top Veteran Originators list, marking a company record. The achievement places the Cleveland-based lender ahead of all competitors, with two of its own, Jason Smith and Patton Gade, ranking in the top five nationwide.
The recognition underscores a broader strategy at CrossCountry Mortgage to integrate military experience into its retail lending operations. For company founder and CEO Ron Leonhardt, the inclusion of these veterans highlights the specific discipline and leadership skills they bring to the mortgage industry.
Beyond individual accolades, the firm has expanded its footprint in veteran advocacy through direct community engagement. Recent initiatives include sponsoring a weight room for the USS Cleveland and hosting 150 military families for a private outing at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. These efforts align with the company's broader corporate mission to support service members beyond traditional lending products.
