Anthony Casa Named a 2024 Philadelphia Titan 100 Awardee

UMortgage is proud to announce that it has been named a 2026 Scotsman Guide Top Workplace. This is the third year in a row that UMortgage has earned this prestigious honor from Scotsman Guide, an industry-leading provider of financial technology tools and industry news for residential and commercial mortgage originators. “Earning this recognition three years running reflects our team’s commitment to our core value, Get Better Every Day, both individually and collectively,” said Anthony Casa, Founder & CEO of UMortgage. “We invest heavily in training, tools, and community so Loan Originators can grow their pipelines, improve conversion, and deliver life-changing opportunities through homeownership for all of their clients.” In 2025, UMortgage hosted more than 120 hours of live daily training sessions led by top producers, UMortgage executives, and industry leaders. These sessions cover a wide range of topics, including prospecting new agents, generating referrals, navigating complex loan scenarios, reactivating past clients, and other best practices that define a Loan Originator's success. For those new to the industry, UMortgage introduced a Sales Development Program in 2025 focused on building the habits and referral-generating relationships needed for a new LO’s early success. The program includes small-group sessions held multiple times a week to share proven playbooks for new LOs, instill the habits that drive success in the mortgage industry, and promote the accountability and consistency needed to see results. To offer all LOs real-time advice on specific files or scenarios, UMortgage launched the Mortgage Manual with Jimmy Hobson, National Sales Director; these office hours-style sessions are hosted every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and provide live guidance on loan scenarios, product selection, and file structuring for smoother, faster closings. “The Mortgage Manual is one of the many ways we help our Loan Originators elevate their business and the client experience,” said Hobson. “Having access to live feedback on real scenarios helps LOs structure stronger files, choose the right products, and deliver smoother, faster closings.” Behind this educational programming is a collaborative community of top producers, innovators, and specialists who share playbooks, hold each other accountable, and problem-solve as a team. And at the center is Tempo, UMortgage’s proprietary sales performance CRM, which promotes friendly competition and camaraderie through live leaderboards, daily streaks, and branch and company-wide competitions. UMortgage's focus on its people, processes, and systems continues to translate directly into business growth. In 2025, UMortgage served more than 6,700 families for over $2.58 billion in funded volume. The average number of loans closed per LO increased by 20%, underscoring that LOs who join UMortgage grow their pipelines and production. This growth goes beyond the workplace as well. With UMortgage’s WHOOP community, fitness tasks available in Tempo, and leadership that promotes a healthier work-life balance, UMortgage team members are given the tools they need to improve personally as they grow professionally.

What Fueled UMortgage’s 2025 Growth UMortgage’s growth in 2025 is the direct byproduct of the foundational processes, systems, and workflows that were developed in 2024 and sharpened throughout 2025. This year’s metrics reflect consistent execution across the board, with UMortgage’s Sales, Operations, and Corporate teams collaborating to ensure a fast, stress-free mortgage experience for every homeowner, homebuyer, and real estate agent they serve. UMortgage's Tempo and Its Award-Winning Impact In 2025, UMortgage increased its investment in Tempo to help loan originators build stronger relationships, stay organized, and execute consistent daily actions within a single modern platform. The fruits of that investment turned UMortgage's Tempo application from a simple activity-tracking app into a fully-fledged CRM with full integration to and real-time data from UMortgage’s Loan Origination Software (LOS). A quick roadmap of Tempo’s flagship features released throughout 2025: Q1 2025: Tempo Email Campaigns Built-in email drip campaigns LOs can activate for past clients and referral partners. Includes themed campaigns designed to keep LOs top-of-mind, deliver consistent education, and drive more repeat and referral business, without needing a separate, costly marketing system. Q2 2025: Contact Cards, Activity Streaks, and Increased LOS Integration Added cleaner contact profiles and faster access to key relationship details with Contact Cards, plus Activity Streaks to reinforce daily execution. Expanded LOS integration to surface real-time loan data, milestone dates, and borrower/agent insights directly inside Tempo for smoother follow-up and pipeline management. Q3 2025: Referral Partner Relationship Tracker The Relationship Tracker provides a centralized hub for managing referral partners. Tracks engagement, activity history, and follow-ups so LOs can stay consistent, stay top-of-mind, and grow referral relationships with a repeatable daily process. Q4 2025: Lead Tracker and Tempo Notes The Lead Tracker offers a streamlined pipeline view for new leads from first touch to close. Tracks lead status, next steps, and keeps follow-up tasks organized so opportunities don’t slip and conversion stays high. The Notes feature (available for every contact in the Relationship and Lead Trackers) creates a searchable conversation history so LOs can follow up with context, document key details fast, and personalize the client and partner experience. Equipped with AI summaries, Notes provide a recap of the most important information for Loan Originators at a glance. With Tempo, UMortgage LOs get so much more than just “extra tech.” They get a single ecosystem that standardizes the habits that scale their businesses. Awards and Industry Recognition UMortgage’s emphasis on innovation, consistency, and experience this year was acknowledged not only by its employees and clients but also by major publications in the mortgage and business sectors.

"We didn’t grow because we chased hype; we grew because our teams executed, our loan originators stayed consistent, and we kept the experience simple for the families and agent partners we serve. In 2026, we’re doubling down on that same foundation while building even more tools in Tempo to help our LOs win every day.” The new year will bring several new flagship features to UMortgage's Tempo, including the imminent release of My Day, which will act as an LO's prioritization engine by streamlining their daily workflow and holding them accountable with time blocks, power hours, and suggested sales activities.

UMortgage is proud to announce that Sean Grapevine, VP of Product Strategy, has been named a 2025 HousingWire Tech Trendsetter. The HousingWire Tech Trendsetters award honors 75 technology leaders who are driving innovation and impact across the housing industry. Grapevine leads the vision, roadmap, and delivery for Tempo, UMortgage’s proprietary sales performance platform that helps Loan Originators (LOs) turn daily actions into funded loans. Launched in November 2024, Tempo pairs a simple, LO-friendly workflow with outcome-based insights to provide clear visibility into which relationships, activities, and touchpoints move loans through the funnel. With full integration to UMortgage’s LOS, Tempo delivers real-time data from tangible results taken directly from their active pipeline. In August 2025, UMortgage introduced the Referral Partner Relationship Tracker, which blends activity captured in Tempo with outcomes from UMortgage’s LOS to quantify the health and value of every agent relationship. The Lead Tracker, launched in October 2025, extends that clarity to active purchase and refinance pipelines by mapping leads to goal-specific journeys and scheduling timely touchpoints to increase conversion at milestones such as credit pulls, pre-approvals, and loan submissions. “Having spent years as a Loan Originator, it’s been so rewarding to build the system that I always wished I had while I was still producing,” said Grapevine. “Traditional CRMs tend to prescribe ‘what’ a salesperson should do. Tempo focuses more on the ‘who’ and the ‘why’ and gives the Loan Originator the data they need to decide the ‘what.’” Since Tempo’s initial release and subsequent enhancements from late 2024 to today, UMortgage has increased its funded loans per LO from 20.35 in 2024 to 25.75 through October 2025, a 26.5% per-LO increase that underscores Tempo’s effectiveness in scaling individual & collective production. “The roadmap to find success in this industry isn’t one-size-fits-all,” continued Grapevine. “Tempo gives LOs the data they need to identify their priorities, repeat the actions that are proven to convert, and make the best decisions for their business’s growth.” Tempo is continuing to grow, with more features and enhancements slated to roll out later this year. Among them is My Day, a calendar-integrated planning tool that helps LOs create call blocks, protect focus time, and consolidate job-related tasks into a single, easy-to-use dashboard.
