About Me

About Me

Thanks for taking the time to visit my page. Hopefully you will leave here just a little more enlightened than when you arrived.

My name is Scott Swinford, and I am a licensed Mortgage Loan Originator (NMLS# 138422) and the Branch Manager at The Legacy Group of SecurityNational Mortgage Company  in Valparaiso, IN.

We are in a time in the lending environment when CREDIT IS KING. Without good credit, you will not only miss out on opportunities afforded by having good credit, but you will also be penalized and punished by having to pay more in interest on mortgages, auto loans, and credit cards, as well as higher insurance costs.

If you are planning on refinancing or purchasing a home, call me and lets talk to make sure that you will be ready to go when you find the house you love.

Be sure to visit the Northwest Indiana Loan Guy site.
