Founded in 2001 in Southern California, PRMG has grown through every market cycle to become one of the most respected privately held mortgage companies in America.
Paul Rozo and partners founded PRMG with a clear mission: deliver exceptional mortgage service with personal attention the big banks could not offer. NMLS #75243 established.
PRMG grew steadily through the early 2000s boom, building its platform, people, and process, the elements that allowed it to survive the 2008 financial crisis while many competitors did not.
When the mortgage industry collapsed, PRMG remained standing. The company emerged stronger and more experienced than before.
Art Loera, with over 15 years of mortgage experience, partnered with PRMG and established the Reno branch. This partnership gave Art's Reno and Tahoe clients access to PRMG's full product matrix for the first time.

I have worked with other companies in my 27+ years in this business. What sets PRMG apart is not just the product lineup, it is the culture. PRMG gives me the tools to say yes when other lenders say no. The in-house underwriting means I get answers faster. The full program matrix means I have an option for almost every borrower situation.
When a veteran walks into my office, I want the VA program that maximizes their benefit. When a self-employed owner needs a bank statement loan, I want the program that fits their real income. When a first-time buyer needs down payment assistance, I want every active Nevada program available. PRMG gives me all of that.
I am proud to carry the PRMG flag in Reno and Lake Tahoe. And I am grateful to Paul Rozo and the entire PRMG team for building a company that lets loan officers like me focus on what we do best: taking care of families.
