Where We're Licensed

Every license is public record. Here's exactly where we can help — and where to verify it.

The short version

Josh holds individual mortgage loan originator licenses in his states, and the BuyWise Mortgage team — a division of United American Mortgage Corporation — is licensed as a company across its states. Between the two, if your state appears anywhere on this page, our team can handle your loan directly. Never a hand-off, never a referral to a stranger.
