In the Winner’s Circle with Mat Ishbia of UWM: We’re going to hire thousands more people

Ishbia: "100% of our focus is on mortgage brokers."

In this episode of In The Winner's Circle, HousingWire Editor-in-Chief Jacob Gaffney sits down with Mat Ishbia, CEO of United Wholesale Mortgage.

In a fast-paced and energetic discussion, Mat explains why "100% of our focus is on mortgage brokers."

So, what's next? For one, UWM plans to nearly double its workforce (now 2,500 people) and is currently moving into a new headquarters.
