Our History
Built to Last, Built to Scale
Founded in 2001, Ross Mortgage Company has grown from a small, family-run operation into a trusted independent lender built on the belief of doing things the right way. Named in honor of President Robert J. Kalagher's grandmother, that guiding principle has carried Ross through every market cycle — from the 2008 housing crisis to the 2020 refinance boom — earning long-term trust from borrowers and partners alike. That same stability gives our loan officers confidence knowing they're backed by a lender built to perform in any market.
With a growing team of loan officers and in-house operations staff, Ross is driven by more than transactions; it's about helping people put down roots, protect their homes, and achieve lifelong goals while strengthening the communities we serve.
"Built to last in the tough years. Built to scale in the busy ones. That's the Ross difference."— Bob Kalagher, President
The Value of Partnerships
Partnerships That Actually Convert
Ross Mortgage views partnerships as more than branding — they're a proven growth strategy designed specifically to help our loan officers build consistent, predictable business. By working closely with employers, unions, and community organizations, we create trusted relationships that generate warm introductions and referral-based opportunities, not cold calls or one-time inquiries.
A lead from a partner organization often comes from someone who is stably employed, already familiar with Ross, and more likely to trust and choose you as their loan officer — resulting in higher conversions, smoother transactions, and stronger long-term relationships. These relationships don't just create borrowers — they also strengthen our loan officers' value with Realtors, giving them trusted lending solutions that help win offers and close faster.
Tech Stack
Technology That Works For You
"We invest in technology so our loan officers don't have to fight their systems — they can focus on building relationships, closing loans, and doing what they do best."— Bob Kalagher, President
