About Tony

Tony Ranft understands that not everyone digests financial information in the same way. It's only fitting that guiding each client through an individualized loan process has become one of his signature strengths. With fifteen years of industry experience and an honest, highly communicative approach to lending, he's a natural fit on the CrossCountry Mortgage roster.

Tony specializes in residential mortgages up to a loan amount of $3 million, including loans for single-family homes, two-to-four unit buildings, condos and townhouses. With CrossCountry Mortgage's streamlined technology and elite team at his disposal, he's more able than ever to navigate his customers through the journey of purchasing or refinancing their home.

"I've been through these woods many times," said Tony, "but every client takes a different path."

Owning a home is fun and fulfilling!

What’s not to love about having a space that is entirely yours? You can paint your bathroom fuchsia, have hardwood in the master, put up a wild Mosaic in the kitchen, install a smart thermostat, you name it. After all, it’s your home!

Equally enjoyable are the other personal and financial advantages of being a homeowner: security and stability, equity and wealth building, and more! I’m here to help you get the most from your home financing — whether you’re buying your first home, moving up or downsizing to match your lifestyle, or refinancing your current mortgage.

Helping your home financing process go smoothly.

What Our Clients Say

As a first time home buyer, Tony Ranft and his team walked me through every step of the mortgage process and made it a breeze. He seemingly worked non-stop through the holidays, always answering calls and e-mails, and got me a great rate on my loan. He also communicated well with everyone involved on the purchase of my home, including my realtor, inspectors, and various attorneys. Even after my loan was sold to another bank (as expected), Tony made himself available to answer any questions that came up.

I worked with Tony Ranft on my loan, on very short notice, after my first loan fell through due to a faulty appraisal. Tony & his team spent day & night working to get the deal done in just under two weeks. I couldn't belI've he actually got it done on time, and because he did I now have my first home. Tony was very knowledgeable and always kept me up to date throughout the process. I highly recommend Tony.
Nick G.
We are first time home buyers and he made this process so painless. We will go to them for all future needs. We have a lot of friends who will be taking their first dip in the home buyer pool, and we will always, ALWAYS sing Tony Ranft praises.
