Our Mission Statement

To demonstrate leadership through integrity, knowledge and dedication to our clients and business partners.  

We Are Ready To Help

Our Story

The LendSmart team has operated together since 2006 and has experienced many changes in the market during this time.  Our experience proves itself over and over again through our ability to advise our clients on the nuances of mortgage lending.

Our clients receive unmatched service and advice that shows in our online reviews.  Over the years we have grown both through acquisition and organic growth and continue to expand our footprint across the country.

Together with our partnership with American Pacific Mortgage we have formed a truly unique offering to both our employees and clients now available in 49 states.

We are direct lenders and seller servicers with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae which means we control the entire mortgage process from start to finish.  Not only does this make a difference in the service level we can provide to our customers, but it also makes a difference in the price we can offer our clients as there is no middle man eating away at the profits.

We have worked hard to create the right balance between personal communication and technology to improve the borrower experience. Your experience becomes your choice. If you prefer to use our mobile app to do everything from applying for your loan to uploading your documents or even signing your documents, you can do that. If you prefer to speak with knowledgeable experts the entire way through, you can do that too. This improved borrower experience is why you will find us so highly recommended by past clients and positively reviewed online. Simply put, we are different, and you will feel that during your mortgage journey.

Our motto has always been “big company offerings with a small company feel.” Being mindful of this culture is one of the reasons that our employees and customers remain so loyal. We look forward to working with you and appreciate the opportunity to earn your business.

Bill Barringer is the most knowledgeable person about loans and mortgage I have ever seen in my life. without his help we wouldn't be able to get our dream house. most honest straight forward person with no gimmick no nonsense game. no matter what is your financial situation if there is a way to get a loan bill will find it for you, but if he said he can not do your loan there is no one else in the world can help you he is that good. on the process of the loan I had situation came up that I was afraid of but bill assured me not to worry and how to get those situation taken care of. the way he took care my loan I felt like he is my family member helping me. Lend Smart Mortgage, LLC is very lucky to have a person in their company who is able to help those who in need of a loan. Bill my wife and I thank you from bottom of our heart. we appreciate your help with our loan.

Tonius worked with me for about two years to get me into a house. I had so many obstacles to over come from bad credit to dealing with other shady lenders. Tonius directed me through this process like a knight in shining armor. I've been in my home for a year now and it's still hard to believe that we pulled it off. I will refer any one to Tonius. His experience and connections are verified !

Thanks to Colin Cherry at LendSmart, we were able to realize our dream with the least amount of stress possible. Colin’s ability to give us options was amazing! Having options gave us the confidence to move quickly and aggressively to realize our dream. He doesn’t take the easy route - he unlocked what I had been told was not possible. Thank you, Colin!

Jeremiah was great to work with! He answered every question we had, and made the house buying process extremely easy. He was there to answer questions 24/7, and we closed on our home earlier then what we had been told! I would definitely be coming back for future services; highly recommend!

Ours was a very complicated re finance due to our immigration status and the fact that I am a self employed small business owner. With all of these challenges and all the interest rate hikes in 2022. Michael Manley never gave up. Working really hard to get us across the line with our new mortgage. He kept us informed every step of the way and we are extremely grateful for all his help.

We have worked with Mike on a handful of refinances/purchase of rental/investment property. The process has always been smooth, as Mike excels in clear and timely communication with his clients. Additionally, Mike has always been incredibly responsive, informative, and helpful with many, many questions and purchasing scenarios we've thrown at him over the years. He has earned our trust and repeat business, and we look forward to future transactions with Mike and his team.

Turned to Bobby Murray for my refinancing needs. The handsome son of a gun took to it immediately and led me through the process! From inquiry to closing in no time flat!

Sheila was such a joy to work with. I had a particularly difficult loan to qualify for, as I'm self employed in the restaurant business, and after Covid my returns were shaky at best. But Sheila communicated with me throughout the entire transaction and we not only got approved for the mortgage, but I was able to close on the property 5 days early! Would highly recommend!!

Farron is the most knowledgeable person about getting a loan that I have ever talked to. If it weren't for him I'm sure I would've messed everything up. He answered my calls at anytime of the day and also called just to check in.

Chris was extremely helpful, communicative and did a great job at explaining things. I came to Chris mid contract after having a horrible experience with another lender where my trust was completely gone and he was super understanding, patient and was never annoyed whenever I had questions or would check in to see what was needed of me. I cannot begin to express my gratitude to Chris for just simply being patient and kind towards me.
