Ross Mortgage Expands Footprint to Baltimore Market

Ross Mortgage Corporation, a full-service residential mortgage lender headquartered in Troy, Michigan, announced today that the firm is expanding into the Baltimore market with local mortgage lending expert Thomas J. Barker Jr. serving as branch manager of the new Bel Air location. Tim Ross, CEO of Ross Mortgage Corporation, made the announcement.

“We are ecstatic to enter the Maryland market and look forward to providing those in the greater Baltimore area with an elevated home financing experience,” Ross said. “With 13 years of mortgage lending experience, Thomas is the perfect fit to introduce Ross Mortgage to the Mid-Atlantic region and will serve as a fantastic resource to homeowners and homebuyers in the area.”

The new Ross Mortgage office is located at 100 South Main St., Unit B in Bel Air, Maryland, just 30 minutes outside of Baltimore. Barker will provide a full range of mortgage products, including conventional fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgages, FHA and VA mortgages, as well as 203(k) and USDA Rural Development loans.

“I’m honored to represent Ross Mortgage in the Baltimore market and look forward to guiding consumers through the mortgage process by helping them identify loan options that fit their unique financial needs,” said Barker. “The Bel Air area has a strong veteran population due to its proximity to Aberdeen Proving Ground, so I am also excited to provide support to our local veteran community on their journey to becoming homeowners.”

In his new role as branch manager, Barker will be responsible for overseeing office operations, originating loans, and coordinating community outreach efforts to build relationships with local residents and real estate professionals. Additionally, Barker will continue to leverage his experience and connections as lead coach of Loan Officer Acceleration and Leads Academy, a program he founded in 2016. The organization helps real estate agents and loan officers build their business repertoire through continuing education workshops focused on digital marketing, database management, property marketing and buyer/seller lead planning. He is also the founder and host of the Maryland Real Estate Show, which serves as a leading resource to consumers on how to make smart home buying decisions in the Mid-Atlantic region.
