The Movement Story

Movement Mortgage was created in 2008 amid one of the biggest financial meltdowns in American history. Our founders saw an opportunity: Step into the chaos to restore customer service and integrity in the mortgage industry. We committed to being a Movement of Change in the mortgage industry, in corporate cultures and in communities.

Our Process

At Movement, it’s our goal to deliver 6-hour Upfront Underwriting on every loan so that each homebuyer is equipped with a bona-fide credit decision as soon as possible. From there, we work toward a revolutionary 7-day processing goal to ensure a stress-free closing.

Underwriting every loan at the beginning of the process gives borrowers and real estate agents confidence and an advantage in a crowded market. This prevents last minute issues and ensures a smooth overall experience.

At Movement, we do things differently. By working to a 7 day processing goal, we help reduce stress, and bring families home faster. Our process is goaloriented rather than deadline-oriented and is unique to Movement Mortgage.

While it is Movement Mortgage's goal to provide underwriting results within six hours of receiving an application, process loans in seven days, and close in one day, extenuating circumstances may cause delays outside of this window.

Purpose Beyond Profit

Our company’s mission statement: We exist to love and value people by leading a Movement of Change in our industry, corporate culture and communities.

How do we accomplish this? Take a look.

Community

In 2012, co-founders Casey Crawford and Toby Harris established the Movement Foundation, a nonprofit arm designed to receive company profits and invest them in good works.

Today, the Movement Foundation has already invested more than $16.5 million of mortgage profit into community projects that bring life, light and hope to people who have been underserved.
