WHO IS UPTOWN FUNDING?

Founders of Uptown Funding, Steve and Dana Hakes have a passion for helping people purchase the home of their dreams. It is this passion that has helped them close over $1 Billion in loans over their over 20 years in the business.

The seeds for this company were laid long before its creation. It goes back to 1989 when Steve and Dana purchased their first home. The experience was difficult and emotionally taxing, but in the end, they realized the American dream of owning a home. It was a feeling neither of them would ever forget.

It was this experience that would become the driving force for Steve and Dana to create a different kind of mortgage company. They wanted to create a mortgage company whose mission was to do their absolute best for the customer, making the home-buying experience as enjoyable as possible. Where customers know that honesty, trust, and integrity will always be upheld. A company that doesn’t just “do mortgages”, but a place that also makes a difference. A mortgage company that cares.
