Cincinnati · Hamilton County · Greater Tri-State

A Cincinnati mortgage broker.
Built on trust, not transactions.

Cohen Mortgage is a relationship-driven brokerage based in Cincinnati. We work directly with buyers, refinancing homeowners, and self-employed clients across Hamilton County and the surrounding tri-state area—offering wholesale lender access, deep underwriting expertise, and a process that puts your goals first.

Local Roots

Cincinnati-based. Cincinnati-focused.

Cohen Mortgage operates out of a single office at 4030 Smith Rd. in Cincinnati, just off Madison Road in Norwood. We're not a national call center, and we're not a satellite branch of a larger institution. Every conversation, every loan file, every closing happens locally.

Our team has spent decades inside the mortgage industry serving Cincinnati buyers. We know which neighborhoods come with HOA complications, which suburbs have property tax assessments worth flagging early, and which local lenders close fastest for which property types. That local knowledge—combined with wholesale access to dozens of national lenders—means we can usually find a path others can't.

We serve Cincinnati proper, Hyde Park, Oakley, Norwood, Madeira, Mariemont, Indian Hill, Mt. Lookout, Anderson Township, Western Hills, the West Side, and the broader Hamilton, Butler, Warren, and Clermont counties. We're also licensed in Kentucky and serve clients in Northern Kentucky—Florence, Erlanger, Edgewood, Fort Mitchell, and across the river.

Complex Income Files

Self-employed, business owners, K-1 partners, commission-heavy earners, recent income changes. Our underwriting background means we know which lenders structure these files cleanly.

Common Questions

Mortgage questions from Cincinnati clients.

Why use a mortgage broker in Cincinnati instead of a bank?+
Banks offer their own products only. A broker shops multiple wholesale lenders against each other to find better pricing and the right program for your specific situation. For most Cincinnati buyers, the broker route is more competitive on rate and far more flexible on program fit.
What's the typical timeline from application to closing in Cincinnati?+
Most purchases close in 25–35 days from contract date. Refinances run 21–30 days. The exact timeline depends on document responsiveness, appraisal scheduling, and title work—all of which we actively manage.
Do you serve Northern Kentucky too?+
Yes. We're licensed in both Ohio and Kentucky, so we serve clients in Cincinnati, Hamilton County, and across the river in Boone, Kenton, and Campbell counties—Florence, Erlanger, Fort Mitchell, Newport, and Covington included.
What does it cost to work with a mortgage broker?+
No application fee. Third-party costs like appraisal and credit report pass through at cost. Our compensation is built into the loan pricing and fully disclosed on your Loan Estimate—no surprises, no hidden fees.
