Citywide attributed its rapid expansion to a strategic branch growth model and operational restructuring under Cady’s leadership.
“Citywide is a very different entity than it was just a few short years ago,” Cady added. “Even lending professionals and longtime partners familiar with our practices and performance in past years have told us we’re a different lender than we once were.”
Originally founded in Utah in 1998 as Citywide Home Loans, the lender rebranded as Citywide Home Mortgage in 2021 after joining Rate.
“The combination of strong financial backing and significant resources, including top flight technology, is allowing our originators and branch managers to provide the offerings that only top lenders could, but with turn times and service levels more akin to an elite, boutique provider,” Cady said in a Press release.
Despite ongoing challenges in the mortgage market, Citywide plans to continue its expansion in 2025.
