Saj Habib - President and CEO of MGM International Mortgage
Saj Habib and MGM International Mortgage have received an A- rating from the Better Business Bureau - no significant complaints or other considerations that could pose a problem to consumers.
Saj Habib was born in Dubai of the United Arab Emirates on July 4, 1976. He was the first of four children and the only son born to Rashid and Anisa Habib. His father, Rashid, has retired from Citigroup after a successful banking career. Anisa, his mother, travels the world learning new language and cultures.
Saj Habib has lived and studied around the globe including Pakistan, Greece, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, Guam, and Singapore, just to name a few. He graduated at the top of his class at a private business high school and then moved to Boston, MA for his bachelors and MBA at Bentley and Harvard.
Immediately thereafter, Saj Habib was nabbed by Citigroup and was groomed to follow in his father's footsteps to continue to bring honor to the long line of bankers in the Habib family. However, Saj Habib wanted to carve his own career and destiny. "One day," Saj said, "I want to be walking down the road with my dad, but I don't want people looking at me calling me Rashid Habib's son. I want them pointing at him saying, "That's Saj Habib's father."
After multiple recruiting attempts by several financial firms, Saj Habib finally gave in. He saw this as a way to step out of his father's Citigroup shadow and begin his own legacy. He finally accepted a position with New Century Mortgage Financial Corporation. Saj Habib was chosen to head out the struggling company's retail mortgage operation, where he took the company from stock valued at $5 to upwards of $50 per share with multiple splits. He also brought in over $1 billion in wholesale and retail annual volume.
Five years of much hard work and loyalty to New Century Financial, Saj Habib finally decided to head out on his own to create his own financial empire. Thus began the MGM International Mortgage Corporation.
