San Ramon, CA – National mortgage media group HousingWire announced its 2020 HousingWire Insiders, an annual list honoring the unsung heroes of the housing industry working behind the scenes to drive their companies to success. This year, CMG Financial’s Candace Baima, Vice President, National Underwriting Manager, was honored among only 50 winners nationwide.
Candace Baima is both a mortgage industry and CMG Financial veteran. She has over 20 years of mortgage operational experience and has held numerous important roles including DE underwriter, corporate underwriting supervisor, and retail lending underwriting and operations manager. Last year, she was promoted to Vice President, National Underwriting Manager, Retail Lending at CMG Financial.
“This year’s Insiders represent the unsung heroes of their companies; the team that, behind the scenes, kept everything on track during unprecedented times,” HousingWire Magazine Editor Kelsey Rami´rez said. “This year, the need for the services of these 50 winners shown greater than ever, and they rose to the challenge.”
In 2019, Candace played an instrumental role in creating jumbo guidelines for a new jumbo investor and establishing a secure partnership. She also spearheaded the enhancement of an internal training program to onboard new underwriters and promote processors to underwriters. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Candace’s leadership and guidance made it possible for CMG Financial’s operations team to keep their momentum going and adjust to remote work and other unforeseen challenges.
“The winners of our 2020 Insider Awards demonstrate expertise in areas that are critical to the success of the companies they work for,” HousingWire Editor in Chief Sarah Wheeler said. “Especially during this year, which has required rapid adaptation in so many areas, these Insiders have been invaluable to the smooth functioning of the entire housing ecosystem.”
