About Us

Our Vision

To improve and modernize the way homebuyers are educated and prepared to finance their home.

Our Mission

We relentlessly research and connect our customers with the best wholesale mortgage to fit their needs. We want to make the home loan process easier, faster, and more transparent so our clients feel stress free and empowered when making their mortgage decisions.

About Us

Upstream Mortgage is a boutique mortgage broker shop, based in Twin Cities of Minnesota. We are partnered with CFR Mortgage for access to elite wholesale relationships. We service MN, WI, and FL with expansion to other states coming soon. After having worked in large retail mortgage we realized there was far too much waste, and way too many human layers to the process, making it inefficient as well as expensive. We wanted our entire company to only have team members with the same experience, ethics, and vison. It is not easy to join Upstream Mortgage unlike every other mortgage company begging for loan officers. We are exclusive in regards to who is qualified to become a part of our organization.

We realized it is important to be brokering mortgages, thus giving the customers access to better rates, with more programs and skipping all the bureaucracy. We take care of our clients with more of a consultancy approach which leads to better communication and education. Our standard is to empower the customer thru education, giving them the confidence in financing the largest investment they might ever make, their home.
