    About Michael

    Michael has been originating since 2017. Before that he was a recruiter for a staffing agency, which is where he learned to read a situation and coach someone toward the outcome they want.

    He works in Tennessee and Georgia, writing mostly FHA and conventional, and he is actively building his VA business.

    The files he loves are the difficult ones, from first-time buyers to borrowers carrying credit issues or a high debt-to-income ratio. Coaching people to the finish line is the part of the job he took it for.

    When someone asks what they can qualify for, he does not tell people no. He tells them not right now, and then he works with them for as long as it takes to get there. He would rather be someone's loan officer for life than close one file.

    Michael is also a licensed life insurance broker. He does what he does because he cares about people reaching their goals, not because a file closes.

    About Bradley

    Brad has been in the mortgage industry for almost thirty years. He has owned mortgage companies, managed branches and worked most of the roles in between, and that history is the reason he can look at an unusual file and know within a few minutes whether there is a way to write it.

    He follows the market daily and keeps current on guideline changes, which matters more than it sounds — guidelines move constantly and a program that did not fit a borrower last quarter sometimes fits this one.

    Brad works with first-time buyers, investors and self-employed borrowers, and he leans on technology to keep his clients and their agents informed rather than guessing where a file stands.

    About Eric

    Eric Van Swol is early in his mortgage career and has the drive to match the ambition. Championship trophies and gold medals do not tend to be handed out in the mortgage industry, but the hunger to compete is there, and it goes into the work he does for prospective and current clients alike.

    He graduated from Hope College with a B.A. in History and Communication, along with Spanish, which he speaks fluently. Forever a Dutchman in more ways than one, he likes sports almost as much as he likes competing and sports metaphors.

    Born and raised in Grand Rapids, he knows the area well and has traveled extensively across Michigan, which in his not-so-humble opinion is comfortably a top five state. Contact him to find out what the rest of the list looks like.

    About Michael

    Michael earned his B.A. from Northern Kentucky University and started in lending in 2013 on the direct sales side, where the point was to learn how the industry actually worked. He moved off retail and onto a mortgage lending team in 2017, and in June 2022 he opened his own branch in Cincinnati with The Mortgage Exchange.

    That progression — sales floor, lending team, running a branch — means he has seen a file from every side of it.

    Outside work he is with his wife and two daughters. He golfs and watches sport when the family calendar allows.

    About Britney

    Britney is a loan originator with a real interest in the person on the other side of the file. She came into mortgages from sales and, before that, the bridal industry — a background that sounds unrelated until you consider that both are about guiding someone calmly through one of the more stressful purchases of their life.

    She specializes in first-time buyers, investors, and loans that do not fit a standard box, and she is good at creative structure on complicated situations.

    Above all she wants to be a blessing to the people she works with, and she brings a sense of humor and a heart for service to every transaction.
