A Tradition of Innovation
Our roots were planted in 1977 with the founding of our predecessor company, Commonwealth Mortgage Assurance Company (CMAC). In 1992, CMAC went public, then merged with Amerin in 1999 to form Radian.Since then, we have strategically acquired additional businesses to support the entire mortgage and real estate services lifecycle. As we’ve built our business, we’ve kept our eye on our ultimate purpose: making sustainable homeownership possible for more people, and we remain committed to removing barriers to homebuying.
We’ve also invested in the technologies that enable more confident decisions and simplify work processes.
