About Me
Scott Swinford (NMLS #138422) is a licensed mortgage lender serving Veterans, first responders, and those hoping to purchase or refinance. Located in Northwest Indiana and serving the states of Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan.
With over 20 years of experience in the lending industry and 19 years as a first responder, I understand what it means to serve—and what it means to be served well. My mission is to make the homebuying and refinancing process clear, straightforward, and tailored to those who’ve given so much to their communities and country.
Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, an active-duty service member, a Veteran, a first responder, or someone simply looking to purchase or refinance your home, you deserve a lender who listens, communicates clearly, and makes your goals a priority. I take the time to explain your options, answer your questions, and guide you through the process from application to closing with confidence and care.
