We bought a new home in December 2025. Steve and his team did the unbelievable. From the day we put an offer on the house we closed in 21 days. He went above and beyond assisting us. After hours at all times. It was an incredible experience. If you are in need of help, and a real go getter Steve is your man.
Steve was great throughout the entire process. He was very helpful and patient with me. He also came to the closing which was nice. I had many questions. He took the time to answer them for me and reminded me it was ok to ask these questions. He spent the time to explain items to me and ensured I understood.…

I’ve worked with Steve Smither on multiple mortgage loans, and each time he has delivered nothing short of exceptional service. Whether it was my first home purchase, a refinance, or another property, Steve has consistently gone above and beyond to make the process smooth, efficient, and stress-free. His deep knowledge of the mortgage industry, combined with his honesty, professionalism, and responsiveness, is what keeps me coming back. Steve takes the time to explain every detail in clear terms, always making sure I understand my options and feel confident in the decisions I’m making. What really sets Steve apart is his dedication—he treats every loan like it’s his top priority. No matter how busy things get, he’s always available to answer questions, handle paperwork promptly, and keep things moving forward. Each loan with him has closed on time (or early), and he’s made what could easily be an overwhelming experience feel completely manageable. If you’re looking for a mortgage loan officer who’s not only experienced and reliable but also genuinely cares about his clients, Steve Smither is the one. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my mortgage needs.
Steve was great to work with! He made me feel at ease during a time that can be confusing and stressful. He was always happy to answer all my questions and was very helpful through the whole process.
