Union Home Mortgage is an equal opportunity housing lender that believes equal opportunity applies when building our growing team, too. Our mantra, "Promises Kept", means we deliver on what we say, whether you're a customer, member of the community - or our team (we call ourselves "Partners"). Respect is at the core of our code of conduct, and our sense of in-it-togetherness has made UHM a winner - in business and customer service through community engagement and top workplace nod - for nearly 50 years.
We respect one another, communicate openly and hold each other accountable. The bar is set high, which is why we recruit and hire people who will help us get better every day.

Loan Officers
UHM loan officers deliver world-class mortgage experiences across the U.S. with top support teams by their sides, fast turn-times and professionally crafted marketing materials.

To say you’ll get real-world experience in our internship program is an understatement. Interns get elbow deep in actual projects, from market research to innovation and presentations to the CEO.
