Summer Internship - Agency Analytics - Birmingham

BWE is one of the fastest growing, privately held mortgage banking firms in the country. With over 500 employees in 33 offices, BWE has a national reach. We have a mission partner in Enterprise Community Partners, Inc, the nation’s largest non-profit corporation focused on affordable housing. Since 2012, BWE has contributed over $100 million to support Enterprise’s mission to advocate for, create and develop affordable communities that provide stability and a greater quality of life.

We also have a capital partner in Fifth Third Bank, who owns a non-controlling interest in BWE. Fifth Third provides a strong balance sheet and expands our wide array of lending products to include bridge and construction loans.

BWE provides capital to owners of all types of commercial real estate. Our primary sources of capital in the multifamily sector are Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In 2025, BWE will originate over $4 billion of debt that will be sold to these firms. Our Agency Analytics team supports these efforts by working with our producers nationwide, analyzing new investment opportunities, structuring capital options, presenting transactions to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and negotiating financing terms.
