The California Mortgage Bankers Association (CMBA) added three new board members in July, including AJ George, chief administrative officer of CMG Financial.
George was brought in to join an established group of leading mortgage executives who work to promote advocacy, education and connection within the mortgage industry and throughout the greater community, according to a press release.
“We would like to extend our sincerest congratulations to AJ George on this latest achievement,” said Kim Callas, Executive Vice President, CMG Financial. “His depth of understanding about all facets of mortgage lending will serve him well in this new role as he advocates equally for the lender and the consumer.”
Most recently, he oversaw CMG Financial’s non-origination departments including secondary loan sales, capital markets, warehouse lending and treasury management. He also holds NMLS, Series 7 and Series 63 Licenses and has an extensive understanding of the financial industry and corresponding markets. As a CMBA Board Member, George will continue to advocate for responsible lending practices and homeownership. He will promote education opportunities for current and future mortgage professionals and home buyers alike, working closely with other mortgage industry leaders.
George has a comprehensive lending background with experience in correspondent, wholesale and retail lending. He began his career with CMG Financial in 2005 and served in positions in every facet of the organization. He was instrumental in the creation, development and growth of CMG’s correspondent lending channel and led it to becoming the largest channel within the company and the seventh largest correspondent lender nationwide (Scotsman Guide, 2017). In 2018, he is serving on the Fannie Mae Capital Markets Advisory Board and the Freddie Mac Capital Markets Advisory Board.
