Jason Kauffman was AMAZING to work with from start to finish in the home buying process. My husband and I are first time homeowners, and Jason not only made us feel confident, but secured us MUCH better financing than any of the other lenders we talked to were able to offer (and we talked to 4 total). We truly could not have gotten the home we did without Jason and the Uptown Mortgage team!!

We closed on our first home this morning with the complete guidance and services of Lana Jern! We initially reached out to Lana almost a year ago to begin our home purchasing journey. Lana gave us great advice to help get our credit where it needed to be in order to make our purchase! We recommend her to anyone looking for a lender to work with.

We have worked with Lana, and her team, on numerous home purchases and refinances. Having been a freelance / contract employee for a couple of our mortgages, the team at Uptown had to really put in the work getting us the loan we wanted. We have recommended them to friends, and they always spoke highly of their experience as well. We recommend Uptown Mortgage to anyone looking for a mortgage on a new home or to refinance.

Had a great experience working with Jason Kauffman from Uptown Mortgage! This was our first home, so we were brand new to the buying process. Jason helped walk us though everything we needed to know and was always available to answer questions. He was pivotal in our home buying process go so smoothly. In addition the process of uploading all of our documents with Uptown Mortgage was straight forward and made the process a breeze.

Lana and her entire team are amazing. My husband and I used Uptown Mortgage in 2018 for the purchase of our first home, then again last month for the purchase of our second. We ALMOST lost the deal, but because of Lana s quick thinking and creativity we were able to push it through the finish line. THANKS AGAIN!!!! I recommend their team to anyone and everyone.

I recently worked with Jason from Uptown Mortgage, and I have to say, he was fantastic! From the start, Jason made everything super easy to understand and was always there to answer my questions, no matter how many I had. Jason was really on top of things and always got back to me quickly. He explained everything in a way that made sense and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the whole mortgage process. I never felt rushed or confused, thanks to his clear communication. In the end, Jason helped me secure a great mortgage deal that fit my needs perfectly. His dedication and personalized service truly made a difference. If you need a mortgage broker who genuinely cares and knows their stuff, Jason at Uptown Mortgage is your guy. He turned a potentially stressful experience into a smooth and positive one. Highly recommended!

Barbara and her team did a fantastic job with my complicated situation. They were able to qualify a new condo complex for VA status and secure the a good rate loan within the standard 30 day window. They also kept me apprised of the situation the whole way and helped me to make informed decisions to keep everything on track. Many thanks to her and her team, and I highly recommend their excellent services.

Jason is patient, professional, and so knowledgeable. We couldnt have asked for a better experience and were taken care of throughout our entire (11-month long) home-buying journey. We are so thankful for Jasons help. He went above and beyond expectations by making himself available to us, making sure we felt secure, and guaranteeing that we were fully informed every step of the way. Thank you, Jason!

Jason Kauffman was the first person we reached out to when starting the home-buying process in 2023. He was responsive and helpful and plugged into the current interest-rate environment, bringing up the potential for and appeal of 2-for-1 buydowns on our initial call. Throughout the process, he was happy to jump on the phone and answer questions and we felt he had our best interest in mind. Recommend.

Barbara was super helpful as first time homebuyers for my wife and I. She made it simple and easy. Always managed to keep us updated on what was happening step by step.

Jason Kauffman at Uptown Mortgage came highly recommended by our realtor and now we understand why! He was a huge help to us every step of the way: answering our questions before we were even ready to apply for a loan, keeping us up to date on what to expect, and ensuring we had everything in place for closing. On top of that Jason is exceptionally nice and easy to work with. Thanks to Jason and his team we felt informed and involved without feeling remotely overwhelmed - a difficult balance to find when buying a home. We will definitely be referring friends and family in the future!

Lana and the team at Uptown Mortgage were amazing and such a pleasure to work with! Lana was very diligent and helped me get in to a loan that fit my budget. She knew that being this was my first home I was going to need to be educated along the way. Throughout the process Lana was readily available to answer any questions I had. If you are looking for a mortgage company that truly takes care of their clients you are looking in the right place. Thank you for the wonderful experience, Lana!

Unfortunately I can only rate 5 starts I would give them 10/10 great service, profesional, reliable, Lana Jern our loan officer was key to getting us approved as well as all the members in her office team loved the communication you didnt need to explain your self over and over to get things done when you talked to a different person it felt good to have that personalized service available to us every time we called with a question for our new home loan everybody is on top of thing whether it is getting a document processed or keeping you up to date on the progress and dead lines. It is our second time using her services once in Sep 2014 as first time home buyers and just recently April 2023 with our second purchase we are very pleased and would highly recommend her office to any one needing assistance with a mortgage loan. Thank you Lana !!!

I recently purchased a house with the help of Jason Kauffman and the Uptown Mortgage team. I looked around for a broker in the beginning and found Jason to be easily the most helpful. He took the time to help me and answered all my questions before we even started the loan process. Jason and the Uptown Mortgage team were efficient and continuously provided updates along the whole way. I would be happy to work with Jason again in the future.

Recently, I had the pleasure of working with Jason & his team at Uptown Mortgage. The experience I had was exactly what I was looking for. The inital approval & doc review happened at incredible pace. The team stayed in touch, provided clear updates and laid out the process. Jason himself was patient & a guiding light. Uptown has a wide variety of lenders of which they handpicked what fit my situation the most and presented me with. Ive financed 5 res properties throughout the years and Uptown mortgage has been the best mortgage broker Ive dealt with, hands down. If youre a HNWI, looking for a jumbo or the best mortgage broker (objectively) in Denver, I wouldnt look further.

I was searching for a home to purchase and selected Uptown MTG because of their great reviews. I was lucky enough to have broker Jason Kauffman on my side. Throughout the process (about 10 months) Jason went above and beyond to help me through the great fun of obtaining loan funding. Jason would help me with pre-approvals and estimates, with an almost immediate response about 99.9 percent of the time. I highly recommend Jason and Uptown. A shout out to all @ Uptown... Thank you.

We have worked with Ray and his team since 2015 and have always felt comfortable and confident that they were doing what was the absolute best for our family. They are exemplary at their job, but they are just as wonderful people! They helped us with the purchase of our first home, and now helping us with investments and another home. I really want to say thank you! And we will continue to send anyone and everyone we know to you! Love The Salmans family

In this crazy market, they were willing to work at all hours to help us out in as many offers as we could to ensure we found a new home.

I automatically recommended them to anyone who is even thinking about buying a home or looking to get pre-approved.

Oh my I dont even know how to put into word how AMAZING Barb is to work with! 100 out of 100 times I would recommend her to satisfy all of your home purchasing needs. She makes everything you do so stress free and is available any time of day including weekends for all of your crazy questions that come with purchasing a home. A big purchase like this can be extremely scary for many but with Barb everything just seemed to fall right in place! This is the second home I have purchased and let me tell you my lending experience was terrible my last go around with a different company. So because of my previous experience I was already nervous about this whole process but Barb was honestly a breath of fresh air. I could go on and on about how AWESOME she is but if your still reading this then you should just call her up if your looking to work with the best in the biz!!

I had a great experience working with Barb.

I highly recommend you give her a call!

Jason Henkel and the Uptown Mortgage team went above and beyond expectations to help me close on my first primary residence! I started by trying to contact banks and lenders on my own, but after talking to Jason he was able to get me better rates and close faster than I would have been able to do on my own. Uptown Mortgage makes the whole process easy and transparent! Will be recommending them to family and friends!

I called this company to give them my business. I talked to the owner, Jason. I told him that I wanted to give him my business. He told me to text him, and that hed follow up with me to get the process started. He never responded. I am taking my business elsewhere. Good bye, Jason! You cost me a few days of waiting for you to get back to me. Now I will have to find another mortgage broker to get my pre-approval.

Jason Kaufman and his team at Uptown Mortgage were fundamental to helping me secure the funds necessary to move forward with building an ADU on my property near City Park. The team was efficient, professional, and had to be creative as some of my income does not easily fit into the systems in place for securing mortgages and refinancing. I recommend Uptown without reservation - use them! Also, the process was stress free and everyone is personable, friendly and even funny!

As first time home buyers, we entered this process a bit uninformed. With the help of Jason and team, we got an amazingly low rate (lower than the lender we initially worked with) and feel much more informed about the home buying process. We will continue to be in touch with Uptown for any questions we have in the future and know they will provide the best insight! We were referred to Jason by our realtor, Mike Turano.

Just bought my first house in Colorado (and the U.S. for that matter), and bought it remotely from Atlanta. Without Jason and team Im not sure I would have succeeded! A challenging journey when validating a relatively new person in the country, and juggling it from afar. What a HUGE difference Jason and his team made. Not only finding a great finance option, but also helping with insurance (even for my car). Nothing was too much trouble even as we navigated any number of complicated fine details. After this experience I would never ever go back to trying to handle this directly through a bank or by myself. 6 stars if thats possible.

I reached out to Uptown precisely because of the high ratings here in Google and now I understand why there are so many great reviews. I first reached out to Jason Henkel two months ago and yesterday I closed on a purchase thanks to him. After my credit union failed to come through, Jason made it happen. Its not my first home purchase so I have prior experiences to compare and I can say that Jason and Uptown are unmatched. If you look for someone who is personable, knowledgeable, and quick to respond to calls, texts, and emails, make sure to ask for Jason Henkel. In my case he partnered up with Vanessa Moreno Mares who helped the insurance process and she turned out to be just as pleasant to work with. I cant say enough about the great overall experience. Period.

We just completed a for sale by owner purchase of the house we were renting. Jason Kauffman modeled multiple loan scenarios up front to give us a good idea of our options and he got us a great rate. The communication, responsiveness and professionalism of the Uptown Mortgage team was a breath of fresh air following our previous experience trying to work with another large, impersonal company where we were being handed off to a new group of people each week. The positive reviews are well-deserved.

Uptown Mortgage was fantastic! Lana and her team worked tirelessly to get our mortgage done fast. We had a 3 week time period before closing and had only called them the day before we put our offer in on our home. They never missed a beat and got the loan done in plenty of time. They were always available to answer questions and responded quickly by email. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

My experience with Uptown Mortgage was fantastic and so easy. As a first-time home buyer I was a little apprehensive and very naive about the whole process. But Jason Henkel from Uptown was always extremely quick to respond to my questions and very informative. It felt like a personal experience and I never once felt like I was just another sale. From what Ive gathered from family and friends who have purchased homes elsewhere (through other companies), my experience with Uptown Mortgage and Jason was something to envy. I hope to be in my new home for a long time, but I have no doubt I will use Uptown Mortgage (and hopefully Jason) the next time I purchase property.

Review №69

Jason has been outstanding through this whole process. Being a first time home buyer, I truly had no idea what I was getting myself into. Having worked with two other lenders prior, I cannot stress enough how important it is to have a great lender and Jason definitely surpasses that criteria. Jason was extremely patient and helpful. He explained everything in great detail and was very clear through the whole process. He took the time to walk though every detail of conventional loans versus FHA loans when I did not understand. He was always available when I needed him, even after hours. He continues to be available for me after closing when questions come up. Jason is hands down the best lender out there! He is knowledgeable, concise, patient, and timely. Look no further!!!!

Blindsided by a last minute, ridiculous fee with the mortgage company we were using at the time, we took the advice of a friend, and called Jason Henkel. Within a half an hour Jason was not only able to get us the rate & terms we *thought* we were getting with the other, his rate & terms were BETTER! Additionally, in ONE day, he was able to accomplish more than the other had in over 30 days. He was in touch with our Transaction Broker that evening, secured and scheduled with a home inspection company - our inspection was the day after! I could go on and on... Buying a house, no matter how many times youve been through the process is stressful. This is our third rodeo! I can honestly say Jason and his team made this process much less stressful - seamless even. ***Oh, most importantly in our situation, time frame - application to closing in less than 14 days.*** Once we were in Jasons hands, it was smooth sailing even given the time crunch. I cant thank him , recommend, or sing his praises enough!

He and his team were organized, efficient, responsive and made the process as easy as it could have been. He was ahead of any issues and knew how to prevent them from occurring by proactively offering a number of solutions. The responsiveness and helping us keep track of everything could not have been better. Thank you Jason and team. We will recommend you to all our family and friends!

This is the second time I have purchased a house and I refinanced my first one once. So I have worked with lenders a few times and I can honestly say that Jason was above and beyond what I had experienced before. We had some unique situations with using the VA Home Loan that required Jason to do a lot of homework on his end to help, but he gladly did so. He was always available and willing to help, and earned our trust and respect early on. I would highly recommend using Jason and although we dont plan on moving anytime soon, if we do need to do this process again, I will definitely go through Jason.

Review №77

All I can say about Uptown Mortgage is fantastic! To start I wanted to state that I have refinanced twice over the past 5 years. The first company I used was very unorganized, not considerate of our time and made my wife angry enough to the point where she removed herself from the process totally except where her signature was needed. We were constantly contacting them on the status after weeks of not hearing from them. The process took over 4 months and I was getting requests for the same info and documentation that I had already provided to them previously all the way up until the day of closing. There were dozens of faxes back and forth also. Not how I expected to be doing business in this day and age. Needless to say we did not use them this time. I did some research and found some very positive reviews on Uptown Mortgage so we decided to give them a try and we were not disappointed. Lana and her crew were on top of everything right from the start. We provided all of the info needed once. Our refi moved through each process quickly and easily. They were reaching out to us at least once a day letting us know where we were at and where we were going. Everything was arranged to be signed thru e-signature and they even sent a very nice lady out to our house to close the loan. We literally did not have to leave our house to do anything. The entire process took just over 3 weeks from start to finish. My wife now has faith that there are companies like Uptown Mortgage out there that know what they are doing. I cannot say enough good about Uptown and would recommend them to all of my family and friends as well as anyone else looking for a mortgage or refi. A huge thanks to Lana and her crew at Uptown Mortage!

Jason was extremely helpful throughout the lending process. He was very efficient, knowledgable and easy to work with. He was very patient in explaining things in a way we could understand so that we could make informed decisions. He also went out of his way to make sure we locked in a low interest rate and were comfortable with everything we signed. Jason has been so great to work with, and he makes it known hes available to help even after we close on our house. I would highly recommend him!

Great experience, I just completed a tough closing and Jason was right there through the whole thing. Got me qualified into a program when I was having a tough time even qualifying, to getting me locked into a good rate when rates were going up, to finishing out closing with a difficult builder, he got the job done. Would use again for a refi and would recommend.

Jason Henkel from Uptown Mortgage , was the third lender I approached regarding getting a loan for my new home. The previous two I briefly had to deal with, could not give me an estimate of how much my share of the closing cost would be, and were difficult to get a hold of. Jason and his team, made the whole process super easy, and were always available to answer questions, even on the weekends.

I have worked with Lana and her team at Uptown Mortgage several times over the last 10 or more years. I have used them for new home purchase loans, as well as re-finance loans. My financial situation was never the same for any of the transactions, and sometimes it was tricky. Even through the tricky situations, Lana was able to come up with a solution. Her team has always been professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Uptown Mortgage!

Jason and his team including Vanessa, Nicole and others were wonderful to work with. I was very impressed that the process was so smooth all the way through closing. Uptown Mortgage invests much time and effort on the front end making sue that all documents are in completely prior to submitting to the lender. The lender had absolutely nothing to add or ask for. A Company and team I highly recommend. Tom Z.

Jason Henkel was amazing. He helped us as first-time home buyers. He explained the process, advocated for us, gave us great advice, and helped get our mortgage approved even with new, non-salaried jobs. We cannot recommend him highly enough!

I give Jason Henkel my highest recommendation. Jason is professional, an expert in his field, and a pleasure to work with. He guided me through the entire process and I always felt I had someone on my side. He brought a certain humanity to the process. Thank you Jason and I look forward to the next one.

Jason and the Uptown Mortgage team were extremely helpful working through the process of pre-qualification and ultimately purchasing my first home in Denver. I am thankful for my friend who first recommended the company. In such a fast paced environment, they were very responsive and went above and beyond my expectations thoroughly answering each of my questions along the way. I would strongly encourage this team of professionals to anyone looking for a helpful and efficient mortgage broker. Thanks!

Jason Kauffman is amazing! He responded to my desperate, frustrated email within minutes. After losing three weeks working with the wrong broker Jason got my program set, pre-approved and rate locked in an hour! My appraisal was ordered, conditions provided and met, we closed in three weeks! My family and I will continue to go to Jason for all of our real estate needs, hes the best! Thanks again Jason! Sincerely, Johanna

I would definitely work with Jason Kauffman again. He and his team ensured a quick closing (actually having everything ready ahead of the 30 day proposed closing). He was on top of any thing that came up during the process and listened to my needs during the process. Communication is the key to great customer service and Jason always responded quickly with answers to any questions.

We had an awful experience with our initial loan officer through our builder, so we decided to go with Jason Henkel with Uptown Mortgage, who was referred to us by our Realtor. He was a pleasure to work with, as he was very professional, organized, honest, reliable, responsive and had a great sense of humor. He made us feel like we were his only customer. We will continue to work with him with any of our future financial needs.

I can t say enough about Lana and her staff. I ve dealt with Uptown Mortgage for 14 + years. They were instrumental in putting me in my first home. I just closed on a very comfortable refi last night! I worked with Lana, Vivian and Nicole. They were so responsive, friendly and helpful! I can, without hesitation, give them five stars!!

My husband and i used Lana and her team when we bought our first house 5 years ago, it was such a great experience that when we decided to refinance to a 15 year mortgage we immediately called them up again. Lana and her team made the process easy and painless! They are always quick with answers to any questions and are very knowledgeable with helpful suggestions to get the most out of the loan.

I would highly recommend Uptown Mortgage! I worked with Jason Kauffman, and his team for my home loan. They were very clear with what loan conditions worked best for me and made the process very easy. I would not look anywhere else if I needed to consider another loan.

I cannot recommend Lana and her team enough!! We were first time homebuyers, and wildly stressed about it - Lana made everything so, so easy. We found her through yelp and set up a meeting just to find out what we could qualify for - she made a table for us with several different financing options depending on how much we wanted to put down and made it very easy to understand our options. Once we made an offer on our house, I had tons of detailed questions about different loan options and would call Lana in a panic and she would walk me calmly through the math so that I could make the best decision. She got us a great rate, awesome credits Id never heard of before, and we closed on our house ten days early because the financing went so smoothly. I honestly will *never* work with anyone else for my homebuying needs - Lana is a super star. She can dive into the details with you OR give you the high level bullet points you need to make an informed decision. Give her a call!!

My wife and I had a wonderful experience going through uptown mortgage to purchase our first home. It can be difficult to secure a loan being self employed, but Lana jern with Uptown made it happen, she is very knowledgable and hands on, and we truly could not recommend uptown mortgage enough.

Until our most recent home purchase, I havent really had a positive experience working with mortgage brokers. Working with Uptown mortgage, specifically Jason K and V, was a refreshing change. Above all, they were extremely responsive, timely, and easy to reach. The Uptown team was always working well ahead of any deadlines which helped make the whole thing much less stressful. It all just went so smoothly; from pre-approval all the way through closing. My only regret is not using Uptown Mortgage for prior home purchases and refinances. Call Uptown, the reviews I read are accurate, they are awesome.

I shopped around for mortgages before purchasing my home and found that not only did Uptown Mortgage have the lower rates, Lana Jern was completely Transparent with me through the entire process. She redlined commented on each of my estimates letting me know what each of the numbers meant and pointed out where Uptown Mortgage was higher or lower. Lana also got the job done quick, painless, and was available at all times to answer any questions I may have had. It was a pleasure to finally get some face time with Lana when she came to my closing and assured me that she would be available if I ever have questions or concerns in the future. My boyfriend went through the loan process concurrently with me and we had totally different experiences. Uptown Mortgage made sure that the process went smoothly and that I was stress free. We will both be choosing Uptown Mortgage for our next loan. I HIGHLY recommend Uptown Mortgage, as the entire team is friendly, knowledgeable, and had my best interest at heart! Thanks again Lana, Barb, & Nicole!

Exceptional Service. Ive worked with Uptown for the purchase of three homes, you will not find a more responsive and committed group. Whether via phone or email, responses are immediate and they take the time to get to know the people they work with and truly care about the outcome of your purchase. They are committed and attentive well after the transaction is processed. Lana and her team proactively check-in to ensure you are making the most of your purchase and taking advantage of opportunities while you go through the buying process. Each member of the team is exceptional.

If you think a mortgage company should make $10,000 on a standard, excellent credit conventional refinance, this is the company for you. Zero communication after closing - not even a simple thank you.

Review №102

We have been working with Lana Jern and Uptown Mortgage for over 13 years. They have brokered and managed all of our loans during this time which includes multiple home purchases, plus an investment property, and multiple refinances due to market fluctuation. We have had other brokers and loan officers recommended to us over the years, but not one has been able to match the extensive loan options Lana and her team have been able to. Lana has demonstrated repeatedly that she really knows her stuff and is always a pleasure to work with. Most recently, we completed a refi on our investment property with Uptown Mortgage, and we were reminded how easy Lanas makes the process, especially with the Floify software she uses. Home purchases and refis can sometimes be stressful, and knowing that we have an advocate on her side when it comes to the loan part brings us incredible peace of mind.

Jason made what can be a bit of an intimidating process seem easy. As someone who is new to home buying and getting loans he guided me through every step and was always available when Id have a question. I cant recommend Jason or Uptown Mortgage enough.

Jason Kauffman worked with me for the better part of 2 yrs while I was searching for the perfect house in Denver - every time I was interested in a property, all I had to do was email him the address and he was able to send over an estimate of the possible loan. Ultimately, the house I bought was a quick 72 hr-turn-around from the time the house was listed until my offer was accepted. There was never a delay or worry about getting the needed documentation to my realtor in a timely manner. I am a first time home-buyer and went with Jason via Yelp reviews. I was NOT disappointed.

Jason and his team are absolute pros. The entire experience, from general curiosity of what price point I should be looking in to the nitty gritty paystub dance at the very end--these guys just rocked it. Professional, timely, patient, and efficient, I couldnt ask for a better experience. I actually look forward to my next home buying experience with them.

My wife and I worked with Uptown Mortgage to buy our first home and we cannot recommend Uptown Mortgage enough. Everyone there is extremely helpful. Jason Henkel was our broker and he did an exceptional job. Hes very nice, knowledgeable and easy to work with. We never felt pressured. Since this was our first buying experience, I had a lot of questions and he explained everything clearly and patiently throughout the entire process. Not only was he able to get us what I believe to be the the best possible loan and rate, but at my request he gave us good recommendations for real estate agents. I only called one and it worked out to be a great recommendation who was just as hardworking and easy to work with as Jason and everybody at Uptown Mortgage. If we need another mortgage in the future, we will be returning to Uptown.

Jason did an amazing job for our home loan. We are first time home buyers and did not know what to expect when buying a home, even though we did tons of research. Jason in the first meeting made us feel so comfortable and made the process very easy! Anytime we had questions, even if it was late at night were always answered! The whole process all the way up to closing could have not went any better and Jason was able to get us a great loan. We will be using Uptown in the future!!!

Lana and her team were absolutely amazing to work with. Lana is so professional and knowledgeable, I could tell right out of the gate that she has been in this business a long time, and knows her stuff well!!! And she really delivered for me and helped me out! I had a slightly more challenging situation than the average loan, because I was working on closing two loans at the same time, and Lana and her team treated me really well. They were responsive, helpful, respectful, and delivered on their promises to me, despite my complex situation. Lana and her team helped me get these deals done, when other local lenders could not help me. I am very impressed, and I will be sending anyone I know who needs a loan over their way! Thanks again Uptown!

I am truly disgusted with the service and so called bankers this company claims to be. Not a good fit for me and a disgrace to the city of Denver. Can somebody file a complaint to get this company shut down for taking applications, not following through, and then their employees fraudulently using social security numbers to go to the hospital. I am suing for this.

If I could give Zero Stars I would. They have had my refinance for over three months and still have not closed. They do not return emails and calls. They do not follow through. Dont use these folks. I am using Quicken which is a national company with superior customer service. They found me a rate better that Uptown with really competitive closing costs as well.

Lana, Ami, and Dustin did a great job taking care of our mortgage loan. They made everything so easy and clear as to what documents they needed. They even helped us conference call the bank to explain to the banker what they needed. They go above and beyond! They are detail oriented, efficient, and communicate well. Thanks for all of your help!
