Welcome to Marine 1 Mortgage

Mortgages for Marines and More!

Offices in Beaufort, SC Jacksonville, NC and Quantico, VA

"The Marine Team" extends a hearty "Welcome" to you for visiting us here.

Pat and I relocated back to Beaufort 6 years ago from Florida to make the Low Country our final home. Nothing has given us all we looked for except the "southern charm" of South Carolina.

I fully retired from the Marine Corps in 1991, and was previously assigned the coveted position as a Drill Instructor at Parris Island during the years of 1979-1986. After retirement I pursued my college degree which culminated with a MBA in Business Management from Indiana Wesleyan University. Working the next few years as a corporate controller, I soon found my niche with numbers and working with people.

I have been active in the financial industry for over 16 years with a focus on Mortgage Lending in Beaufort for the past 5 years. Working with our Marines rewarded Pat and I with nothing short of great "job satisfaction", but more important, the many friends we have made within our Marine Corps family.

Pat and I not only offer you the "best service" in the industry, but we work for you as your personal mortgage "team!" We have been recognized by national lenders as the most knowledgeable VA Loan Officers in SC. Our strong industry knowledge has allowed many homeowners to purchase their dream home after many other lenders could not approve them.

Lee and Pat Van Swearingen Provide Excellent Customer Support

With our extensive military and industry background, we promise that if "The Marine Team" can't do it, it can't be done. Pat and I process your loans in house and will advise you every step of the way. We take pride in knowing we have closed 100% of all loans that we pre-approved, and have achieved the "Multi Million Dollar" producer level in the Beaufort and Low Country area! That sets the industry "standard!"

For the HONESTY, TRUST, and SERVICE you deserve, please give us a call anytime. Feel free to email us with any home buying or mortgage concerns. We are here to educate and assist you as much as possible.

A special note for "First Time Home Buyers!" Come see Pat and Lee to understand why Marine 1 Mortgage is your place to be. Remember there are 10 very important things to consider when buying a home:
# 1. Come see Pat and Lee!
#'s 2-10. Let Pat and Lee take care of the rest of them!

Again, we welcome you to our website, and to the beautiful Beaufort area. We would love to hear from you! Semper Fi
