Client Reviews
- We had the pleasure of working with Todd at Swanson Lending for our first mortgage on our first home purchase, and we cannot recommend him highly enough. From start to finish, Todd was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. His deep understanding of real estate, investing, and the home buying process made us feel so at ease when purchasing and financing our new home. Todd, Dominic, and Nicole took the time to explain all our options and ensure we felt confident with our decisions. Their expertise and supportive approach made the experience much smoother and less stressful than we anticipated. Swanson Lending has an amazing team of dedicated professionals who truly care about their clients!read moreread lessDanielle Ewart8/01/2024
- I highly recommend Todd Swanson and his team to anyone looking for a mortgage. They provided me superb service every step of the way through closing on a real estate purchase with a great mortgage rate.read moreread lessJason Whooper7/11/2023It was such a pleasure working with Todd and his team to purchase our home. I had a lot of anxiety about buying a home as I wasn't sure we would qualify for a house big enough for our family of 8. After our first meeting with Todd, all that anxiety was gone and the home search became really exciting. My husband and I were able to enjoy the process as Todd and his team handled all the not-so-fun details of our purchase. I highly, highly recommend Todd to anyone who has a desire to purchase a home, or anyone who has questions about the process and doesn't know where to start.read moreread lessNicole Hancock5/11/2023
- I give you a 10 out 10! The team is very professional and responsive. I personally appreciate not being kept in the dark and receiving regular updates. Also, the team seems to keep my best interest in mind. For instance, I was told by another lender not to shop around and not to move funds between my accounts under any circumstances, while your team encouraged me to compare and get an understanding of the loan costs, and also suggested to move all funds into one account, so I don’t need to pay wire fees for each transaction when transferring funds to the escrow account. I couldn’t believe it! Thank you again for taking me as a client last minute and assisting me with getting a loan.read moreread lessNadiya K, Temecula, CA2/22/2022Thanks again for running me through all our options and reviewing my plans for my families financial future. I just wanted you to know your sincere desire to help and do what's best for me really shows and I can tell you'd do that with someone who isn't as close as we are.
I also wanted to mention your staff and their professionalism. You have obviously instilled in them your own passion and attention to detail. I know I shouldn't be surprised having seen your management up close and in person. Your team is on top of their game, with quick professional responses, a genuine urgency to complete the mission for their client while adding that soft touch making you feel genuinely cared about.
Just wanted to shoot that off to you, I've noticed it in all the times through the years we've worked with you.read moreread lessStavie Neel2/02/2022 - On a scale of one to 10 you are ALL definitely a solid 10 Thank you again for having such a great group available to help me through the entire process.

I always feel supported respectfully and efficiently by the Swanson group and Todd and his people consistently operate with integrity and transparency. I am a public school teacher, and thus not a high-income client, but this never matters to Todd Swanson’s team. They work just as hard regardless. It is refreshing to fully trust people who are providing financial services, which is why I continue to do business with Todd Swanson. I highly recommend you do the same.read moreread lesskrmadden61/07/2022
- Outstanding service I have used Todd twice and have been very very happy with the service provided by him and all his team. The first time was for a hard money loan and the second was to repay that hard money after my green card was finally issued.

A trusted friend referred us to Todd and Todd immediately put our minds at ease.
He spent over an hour on the phone with me and then even more time video chatting with my wife and I to help us understand all the numbers, rates, buyer credits, closing costs, etc. I usually approach these types of situations pretty skeptically. But, as this review is titled, Todd answered all of our questions and set our minds at ease very quickly.
Also, he was extremely patient with my wife and I and us changing our minds frequently and getting nervous in the market. He actually listened to our desired price cap and never pressured us to over extend ourselves. He was full of useful tips to get our home offers considered and his team did a great job of showing us houses and making the whole experience more enjoyable.
Lastly, and most importantly in my opinion, their phones are never off. Todd always answered my calls or called back promptly, always answered my emails, called occasionally to check on us and make sure things were going well, and his team was equally as available to us. From "we're interested in buying" to "the keys are yours, congratulations on your new home" was smooth and comfortable the entire way.
I've since referred a couple friends to Todd and will continue to do so!read moreread lessRob H.10/05/2020
