Celebrating 4 Decades of Innovation, Service, Leadership & Partnership

As we reach UWM’s 40th anniversary, we’re filled with gratitude and pride. The celebration of this milestone is not just about our achievements — it’s about the incredible journey we’ve shared with you, our broker partners.

Reflecting On Our Journey

Since our founding in 1986, UWM has grown into the nation’s #1 overall mortgage lender — an achievement we’ve held for 4 years running. This remarkable journey has been fueled by the trust our partners put in us and our commitment to service, innovation and excellence.

 

Over the past 4 decades, we’ve consistently pushed the boundaries of what’s possible in the mortgage industry and kept our focus on making the home loan process faster, easier and cheaper for our brokers, as well as consumers across the nation.

 

Thank You

To our incredible partners — thank you. Our success is deeply intertwined with your trust, feedback and support. You’ve been instrumental in every milestone we’ve reached, and your collaboration has not only shaped our legacy, it has also helped us set new industry standards.

 

A Shared Today and Many More Tomorrows

As we celebrate all we've achieved together, we're equally excited about what lies ahead. By continuing to provide independent mortgage brokers with the most innovative tools and resources in the industry, the next 40 years will be filled with even greater success together.

 

We invite you to reflect on our shared journey and celebrate our collective achievements and we look forward to the promise tomorrow holds.
