Chase Smith
Mortgage Advisor
NMLS# 1401759
Licensed In: NE: 674879
Since 2015, I have had the privilege of helping individuals and families turn the dream of
homeownership into reality. With a calm, clear approach—and a healthy respect for
simplicity—I believe the mortgage approval process should be easy and that is why I
aim to take the stress out of the mortgage process.
Much like a great bourbon served neat, I believe your home loan experience should be
smooth, straightforward, and tailored to your taste. Whether you are buying your first
home, refinancing, or upsizing for the next chapter, my goal is to help you find a loan
program and payment that fits your life, not just your pre-approval limit.
I take pride in being accessible, honest, and always ready to explain the process in a
way that makes sense. Outside the office, you will find me golfing, traveling with my wife
Jennifer, or enjoying a glass of bourbon—neat, of course.
