We’re on a mission to create financially healthy, happy homeowners. While the business of mortgages involves rates, products, dollars, and data, it's really about people. Behind every mortgage is a person, a family, a dream.
We’re here to support people at each stage of the homeownership journey—from the borrowers who represent our customer base, to the mortgage brokers and correspondent partners who count on us to help grow their businesses, to our associates who care for our all of our customers, and each other.
We believe that homeownership enriches lives and strengthens communities. Approached correctly, owning a home is about much more than just a roof over your head—it’s a crucial point in the path towards broader financial well-being.
Our growth has been fast, but also thoughtful. We continuously invest in our partners, our technology and our people to create an exceptional homebuying and homeownership experience. We pride ourselves on driving success for our customers, our partners and our associates across all economic cycles.
In just five years, we have grown to become the third-largest wholesale lender and 10th-largest non-bank lender in the country. We have over 300,000 customers and a nationwide network in excess of 5,500 partners.
We are part of—not apart from—the communities we serve and the world we share. Underscoring this point, we founded the Homepoint Foundation in 2020 to empower individuals to achieve their dreams through investment, education and support.
We’re focused on helping to build a mortgage industry that is more inclusive and diverse, more prosperous, and full of opportunity for aspiring professionals who want to thrive in a meaningful career.
