Colonial National Mortgage
A Tradition of Service 50 years in the Making
James S. DuBose founded Fort Worth Mortgage in 1952 to provide
residential home loans to the growing post-war communities of North
Central Texas. His enthusiasm fueled the company for the next 20 years
in the relentless pursuit of one goal: delivering the most competitive
loan products with the most personal service.
In 1972, DuBose purchased Colonial Savings. He now had an expanded
financial portfolio with which to operate and immediately took action.
He expanded the mortgage operation, originating loans in other areas of
the Southwest and beyond. At the same time, DuBose recognized the value
of integrating the services he offered his customers. By offering
banking, mortgage lending and insurance under one corporate roof, he
gave his customers a "department store" atmosphere for handling their
personal finances. The concept flourished.
Today, the Colonial Family of Companies is a comprehensive, national
financial services corporation with more than 600 employees. We are
particularly proud of the long tenure of many of our employees,
indicating Colonial not just a great place to do business, but a great
place to work as well.
With a servicing portfolio of more than $10 billion and total assets over $1 billion,
Colonial National Mortgage is now among the largest mortgage servicing
operations in the country, originating loans in 47 states. A full array
of banking and insurance services complement more than 150 home mortgage
programs, making Colonial a single source for personal financial
services. The company is privately held - by choice - ensuring our
focus remains on our customers, not on the expectations of Wall Street.
AS WE OBSERVE OUR 50TH ANNIVERSARY,
THERE IS INDEED MUCH TO CELEBRATE:
- Fannie Mae’s Excellence in Servicing Award
- Freddie Mac’s Tier One Service Award
- FHA’s Tier One rating for FHA loans
- Housing and Urban Development’s Best Practice Award
Most important though, are the high
marks Colonial receives from its customers and employees. It’s the
quality and dedication of our people that keeps this tradition of service
alive -- a tradition upheld fifty years and counting.
