My wife and I had the pleasure of being assigned to Ryan Sr. Loan Officer. He was polite, patient, professional and most importantly prepared throughout whole process. Ryan crunched numbers with impressive accuracy, explained documents line by line when we had questions and let us know what to expect so there wouldn’t be any surprises. Ryan is very knowledgeable and had no problem answering questions and sharing very important details which made us feel good about picking Smart Mortgage. Thank you Ryan for all your help and advice.

We applied with other lenders but had been turned down, but Smart mortgage worked with us so we can have our dream home! Our lender Jon, walked us through the process and was very helpful in answering questions promptly. He made the process easy for us. Jon always kept in daily communication with us, so there were no surprises! He made himself available anytime…..even when he was on vacation! The online submission of documents was very easy. Overall we think Smart Mortgage is an excellent company willing to work with people with blemished credit and give them the opportunity to live their dream of home ownership.

We worked with Brian who picked up our loan after our original broker quit working with us. I’ve never seen a more determined, hard working, and dedicated broker in action! Brian was amazing! We could write a book about our experience, bottom line… I wouldn’t work with anyone else or refer to anyone else. He gets it done!

East St. Louis is a city in St. Clair and Madison counties in southwestern Illinois, United States. It is located across the Mississippi River from St. Louis, Missouri, in what is defined as the Metro-East region of Southern Illinois. Once a bustling industrial center, like many cities in the Rust Belt, East St. Louis has been severely affected by loss of jobs due to industrial restructuring during the second half of the 20th century. In 1950, East St. Louis was the fourth-largest city in Illinois when its population peaked at 82,366. As of the 2010 census, the city had a population of 27,006, less than one-third of the 1950 census.
