Our Swift Home Loans partnership
Most borrowers have to choose between a small local lender who knows them and a big lender with more loan options. UMortgage Cincinnati is built so you don't have to. Your loan is handled here in Cincinnati. It's funded through Swift Home Loans, a lender founded by a team of former retail loan officers.
Bearcat Mortgage
UMortgage Cincinnati is the Preferred and Exclusive Mortgage Lender for University of Cincinnati Football and Baseball, through the 2029–30 season. Bearcat Mortgage is how we give back to that community: a flat $1,500 closing cost credit for UC alumni, faculty, staff, UC Health employees and Bearcats supporters.
Eligibility confirmed at application. All loans subject to credit approval.
Homeownership education
The UMortgage Cincinnati Homebuyer Playbook walks through the six steps every purchase follows. Read it on your own, join a workshop, or book a 20-minute readiness review with Breon.
The payment you're comfortable with, which is often less than the most a lender will approve.
Credit, debt and savings. What helps your rate, and what to leave alone before you apply.
Down payment, closing costs and reserves, plus how gift funds and seller credits work.
Conventional, FHA, VA and more, side by side on payment and cash to close.
A verified letter, not a guess, so your offer competes when the right house hits.
Appraisal, inspection, conditions and the closing table. Who does what, and when.
Education is free and optional. Completing a session does not guarantee loan approval or specific terms.
