History
Established in 2000.
Uptown Mortgage was founded over 20 years ago in the Uptown district of Denver, CO. What began in a living room has grown into one of Colorado’s top mortgage brokerages. Now headquartered in Denver’s Lower Downtown (LoDo), we serve clients in multiple states - CO, TX, WA, GA, FL, KS, and MN. From day one, our mission has been to deliver an exceptional home loan experience through personal service, competitive rates, and smart technology. That technology has allowed us to expand virtually to other states! As independent mortgage brokers, we partner with a wide network of wholesale lenders to find the best loan options—even for complex situations. Our licensed professionals guide borrowers every step of the way, from application to closing. With strong roots in mortgage operations, we’ve built efficient systems and a reputation for reliability. Since 2000, we’ve helped thousands of clients become homeowners—and we’re just getting started.
