Anthony Casa Net Worth 2026: UMortgage Founder and NEXA Deal

No reputable financial publication has published a net worth figure for Anthony Casa, so we do not give one. His wealth is tied to UMortgage, the mortgage brokerage he has run since 2020, which HousingWire says originated about $2.05 billion in loans over the 12 months before NEXA Lending agreed to buy its assets in August 2026. Terms of that sale were not disclosed.

What Is Anthony Casa's Net Worth?

An earlier version of this page gave a figure of $23.6 million. We could not find that number, or any other estimate, from a reputable outlet, so it has been removed. Casa's businesses are private and he has not disclosed his holdings.

What is on the record: Casa owned and led UMortgage, a broker shop licensed across most of the country, and sold its business to NEXA Lending in an asset purchase announced in August 2026. HousingWire reported that NEXA had already transferred funds when the deal was announced, but neither side disclosed a price. Before UMortgage, he owned part of Garden State Home Loans in New Jersey, which he divested in early 2019, according to HousingWire. That sale price was not disclosed either.

His finances have also had setbacks. National Mortgage Professional, summarizing a 2024 Hunterbrook Media report, said Casa bought into UMortgage in 2019, about two years after he came out of personal bankruptcy. Any online figure that ignores both the undisclosed sale price and this history should be treated with caution.

How Much Does Anthony Casa Make?

The old page listed a yearly income of $700,000, a monthly income of $58,000 and a daily income of $1,900. None of those numbers had a source, so they are gone. Casa has not disclosed his pay.

What the trade press does show is how UMortgage made money. Under its pricing before early 2026, the company kept a 50-basis-point margin on each loan, roughly $2,500 on a $500,000 mortgage. In February 2026 it switched to a flat fee of $995 per loan, capped at $49,750 a year per loan officer, and Casa told HousingWire that the company expected revenue per originator to fall by about 65% in exchange for faster growth. He also said 2025 was UMortgage's first profitable year. After the NEXA deal, his income will come from his role as an executive partner at NEXA plus whatever he received for UMortgage's assets.

Career Timeline

AIME and the Broker Movement

Casa is best known in the mortgage industry for founding AIME. When the association launched in February 2018, a press release described him as founder and chairman and as the person behind the BRAWL campaign. The group's goal was to push the wholesale broker channel past 20% of the U.S. mortgage market by 2020.

His time as AIME chairman ended in controversy. In July 2020 he sent videos with sexual remarks about the wife of a Quicken Loans executive to other industry figures. She sued him for defamation, several lenders suspended ties with AIME, and he took a leave of absence. He made his exit permanent in October 2020, HousingWire reported. NMP later said AIME tax filings showed an unspecified $500,000 settlement payment after he left.

Building UMortgage

After AIME, Casa turned UMortgage into a national broker platform. Early growth came partly from bringing in established teams. In January 2022, for example, Mortgage Professional America reported that it had added The Bally Team, which claimed to be Michigan's second-largest brokerage. Citybiz reported that UMortgage made the Inc. 5000 list of fast-growing companies three years in a row and that Casa also helped launch ARIVE, loan origination software that UMortgage loan officers use.

UMortgage had 213 licensed loan officers in February 2026 and originated about $2.5 billion in 2025, according to HousingWire. The company built its own task and customer management platform, Tempo.

In April 2024, Hunterbrook Media published a report alleging that executives of United Wholesale Mortgage helped finance Casa's purchase of UMortgage and that UMortgage steered most of its loans to UWM. National Mortgage Professional covered the report. These are allegations from a media outlet, not court findings.

Recent Changes (2026): The NEXA Deal

In August 2026, NEXA Lending, the largest U.S. mortgage brokerage by loan officer count, agreed to buy UMortgage's assets. The deal surprised the industry because Casa and NEXA CEO Mike Kortas had been public rivals for years. According to HousingWire:

• UMortgage brought 246 loan officers and $2.05 billion in trailing 12-month volume, taking NEXA to 4,047 loan officers and $14.15 billion a year.
• Casa and three other UMortgage leaders became NEXA executive partners.
• The UMortgage entity is set to be dissolved by the end of 2026, though teams may keep using the name as a DBA.
• Tempo is being spun off as an independent platform.

Citybiz put UMortgage at roughly 275 team members. Casa told Mortgage Professional America that the deal was not a cash-out, and that his main job at NEXA will be persuading other broker shops to sell to or merge with the company.

Early Life, Family and Education

The earlier version of this page said Casa was born in Italy in 1882 and served in the Philippine-American War. That appears to describe a different person entirely and has been removed, along with unsourced claims about his marriage and a Wharton degree. We found no reputable source for his education or family details, so we do not report them. He has described himself as a New Jersey native, and he told Mortgage Professional America he was 41 in August 2026.

Age, Height and Weight

Anthony Casa was 41 as of August 2026, based on his own statement to Mortgage Professional America. That points to a birth year of about 1985. The height and weight on the earlier page had no source and have been removed. No reliable outlet publishes them.

Anthony Casa Compared With Other Business Figures

Casa's path from loan originator to brokerage owner is closer to other founders who built private companies in finance and property, such as Bruce Fenton, Aaron Wolfson and Allie Beth Allman. For another profile in a very different field, see Angela Wesselman. As with most private owners, the size of the company is easier to measure than personal wealth.

Why There Is No Reliable Net Worth Figure

An honest estimate would need the NEXA sale price, Casa's ownership share and debts, and his earlier returns from Garden State Home Loans. None of these is public. His reported past bankruptcy and the AIME lawsuit settlement also mean his wealth cannot be assumed from company size alone. We will add a figure only if a reputable publication reports one.

Note: an earlier version of this page included a section for contact details. We do not publish personal contact information.
