Besides its Auburn branch, Community 1st also operated branch offices in Sacramento and Roseville.
The banking firm was founded in February 2006 and operated as the parent company of Community 1st Bank, a California state-chartered bank with more than $400 million in total assets.
The buyer, First Foundation Inc., oversees two wholly owned subsidiaries – First Foundation Advisors and First Foundation Bank. Founded in 1990, First Foundation has offices in California, Nevada and Hawaii.
