About 8Twelve

We're rebuilding the mortgage from the borrower in.

8Twelve is a licensed mortgage brokerage pairing modern technology with senior brokers who actually pick up the phone. We believe a great mortgage feels invisible — fast decisions, fair pricing, and zero anxiety at signing.

Our mission

Make the biggest financial decision of your life feel like the easiest.

Clarity over jargon
No surprise fees, no decoder ring required. Every number has a plain-English explanation.
Speed with substance
Pre-approvals in hours, not days — your file shopped to the lenders most likely to say yes, fast.
Humans on call
A senior mortgage broker assigned to you on day one. Same name, same number, every step.
Trust by default
Bank-level security, transparent pricing, and disclosures you can read in under five minutes.
Why 8Twelve

A different kind of brokerage.

We don't make loans — we shop dozens of lenders to find the right one for you, then ride the file to closing.

Modern
Apply on your phone in minutes. Upload docs by photo. Sign closing papers from the couch.
Personal
One broker, start to finish. They know your name, your timeline, and your goals.
Honest
Real rates, real fees, in writing — before you ever share a social security number.

Our story

Born from a simple frustration.

Our founders had closed hundreds of mortgages — and watched smart, qualified buyers drown in paperwork, vague rate quotes, and unreturned calls. So they built the brokerage they wished existed: software that does the heavy lifting and a human who answers when you have a question at 9pm on a Tuesday.

Today we serve borrowers and the partners who refer them — realtors, builders, and financial planners — with one promise: the cleanest path from application to keys.
