Our Story
Mortgage lending should be built on relationships, trust, and experienced guidance. That belief is where CPMA began.
Two careers dedicated to your financing goals
Russell Craft and Nicole Regan have spent their careers helping homeowners, real estate investors, and business owners achieve their financing goals. Russell began his mortgage career in 1998, followed by Nicole in 2000. Together, they bring more than 50 years of combined industry experience, have helped thousands of clients, and have facilitated over $2 billion in funded loans.
As both business partners and life partners, Russell and Nicole built CPMA to deliver the personalized service of a boutique mortgage brokerage with access to a broad network of lending solutions. From first-time homebuyers to seasoned investors, every client receives honest advice, responsive communication, and financing strategies tailored to their unique goals.
