​​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 Ramírez said.

In 2019, Candace played an instrumental role in creating jumbo guidelines for a new jumbo investor and establishing a secure partnership.
