Our Mission Statement
We Are Ready To Help
Our Story
Lend Smart Mortgage has operated as a mid-sized, locally owned retail lender since its inception in 2006. We have made several acquisitions over the years to continue our planned growth and expand our licensing base.
We are direct lenders and seller/servicers with both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac which means we control the entire mortgage process from start to finish. Not only does that 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 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.

Sloan is an excellent mortgage guy!! He is smart, savvy and explained all stages of my refi perfectly so that I was never stressed. He is my go-to guy!!

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.

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!

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.

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!!
