What most people don't know about UWM

United Wholesale Mortgage is the largest wholesale mortgage lender in the US by volume. That's not a small distinction. But here's what most borrowers don't realize until they're already searching: UWM doesn't take loan applications from the public. They're a wholesale lender, which means they only work through approved mortgage brokers, not directly with homebuyers.

14 Days To Close is an approved broker. We have access to UWM's products when they're the right fit for your file. We also have access to other wholesale lenders and loan programs, which means if UWM's guidelines don't work for your situation today, we don't stop there. We find the path that does.

If you're here because you've been referred to a broker using UWM and things aren't moving, or because you want to understand what you're actually choosing between, you're in the right place. See how fast we move.

Why borrowers searching for UWM end up working with us

Most borrowers don't know they can't apply with UWM directly until they've already tried. They search the name, find the website, and realize it's a wholesale-only operation. At that point they're looking for an approved broker who uses UWM, or they're already working with one and aren't happy with the pace.

If your current broker's file is moving slowly and you're under contract with a deadline, switching lenders mid-process feels risky. It doesn't have to be. We've received calls three days before a scheduled closing and still delivered. That's not a boast. It's a documented track record.

We can't speak to what any specific broker or UWM's pipeline will or won't do for your file. What we can tell you is what we bring: multiple product options, a broker who personally reviews every file, and a closing process built for speed. If you need answers fast, call now or schedule a callback.

When a single pipeline isn't enough

UWM's technology is genuinely impressive. They've built some of the fastest underwriting systems in the wholesale space, and for a clean, straightforward W-2 file, their pipeline works. The gap shows up on complex files: self-employed borrowers, investors using DSCR, foreign nationals, non-QM situations, or anyone whose income doesn't fit a standard template.

When a system says no on a file like that, there's often no one to call who can actually change the outcome. As a broker with access to multiple lenders and loan programs, we can pivot your file the same day. That's not possible if you're working with a broker whose entire operation runs through a single wholesale source.

Speed matters just as much as product flexibility. The longer a stalled file sits, the more you risk losing the deal. If you've hit a wall with your current lender, don't wait to find out if they can fix it. See what our closing track record actually looks like, then decide.

The broker advantage: why we're not a single-lender shop

14 Days To Close is a mortgage broker, powered by PRMG. We're not tied to one lender's products or one underwriting system. We handle FHA, VA, USDA, Conventional, Jumbo, and DSCR loans in-house, and we route each file to the lender whose guidelines and pricing fit that specific borrower's situation.

UWM is one of the lenders we can access. So is everyone else. If UWM's guidelines don't fit your file today, we don't tell you no and send you somewhere else. We find the path that does. That's the difference between a broker with real options and a shop that runs every file through a single pipeline regardless of fit.

That flexibility is also what makes us fast. We're not waiting for one system to approve a file that doesn't fit its criteria. We find the right product from the start, which means fewer restarts, fewer surprises, and a shorter path to the closing table. You can read more about how we approach every deal.

Before you commit to any broker or lender, here's exactly what to ask.

How fast can we actually close?

We've closed deals in as little as 4–6 days from first inquiry to clear to close. That's not the average and it's not a guarantee. Timelines depend on how quickly all parties submit documentation, how fast the appraisal comes back, and whether title is clean. But it's a documented track record, and it's the reason borrowers call us when another lender is out of time.

If you're working with a UWM-powered broker right now and things are moving too slowly, the question isn't whether switching is possible. It's whether there's enough time to make it worth it. In many cases there is. See how fast we move, then make that call.

When you're ready, call now or schedule a callback and we'll tell you exactly where you stand.

Who we're built for

First-time buyers who want a real person
You don't need a wholesale system. You need a broker who can explain what's happening with your file and answer the phone when you call.
Buyers under contract with a deadline
If your closing date is locked in and your current lender is lagging, you may not have time for a smooth transition. We've stepped in with days to spare and still delivered.
Borrowers whose broker fell through
A single-lender broker who hits a wall has no other options. We do. If your file was denied or your closing is at risk, call us before you write off the deal.
Self-employed, investors, non-QM
Complex income situations need a broker who can match the file to the right product. We handle DSCR, bank statement loans, foreign national programs, and more.
