Seattle Mortgage Company's history dates back to 1944, when Ben Smith Sr. started Seattle Mortgage Company to help veterans returning from World War II purchase their homes. Locally owned and managed since that time, it is now one of the longest-running mortgage companies in the Puget Sound. As a local company with no large processing centers or cumbersome procedures, we're free to be more attentive to you, your needs and your homeownership dreams. And because our mortgage experts are local, they're personally invested in your success, know the intricacies of the neighborhoods we serve, and play an involved role in helping you make the best financial decision. At Seattle Mortgage Company, you'll discover what local really can mean: personal service, faster decisions (we strive to get mortgages done in as little as two weeks), competitive rates - and in the end, a more pleasant journey to a home of your own. We're an Equal Housing Lender.
