Personal details
Eric Van Swol
Loan Officer Eric Van Swol is a bright young star in the mortgage game. Think Michael Jordan circa 1984, Jackie Robinson circa 1947, or Michael Phelps circa 2004. If these comparisons elicit emotions of inspiration and awe, that is exactly what should occur. Like all of his aforementioned predecessors, Eric stands on the precipice of greatness with a drive and a hunger to be a champion in his own right. While championship trophies and gold medals don’t adorn the mantle just yet, nor is it likely that would occur in the mortgage industry, Eric is ready to shine and is committed to prospective and current clients alike in order to achieve the greatest level of success for them in their search for the best service and financing.He graduated from Hope College with a B.A. in History, Communication, as well as Spanish, which he speaks fluently. Forever a Dutchman in more ways than one, he likes sports almost as much as he likes competing and sports metaphors. Born and raised in Grand Rapids, he is very familiar with the area and has traveled extensively in the great state of Michigan, which in his not so humble opinion is easily a Top 5 state (Contact him to find out what the rest of his Top 5 looks like).

Feb 18, 2026I have worked with Damon and the team at Riverbank Finance for both new home finance and refinance mortgages. They are professional, efficient and thorough. They respect the process and provide a comprehensive assist throughout the entire journey. I recommend them to my family and friends as they have established trust with me. They make a daunting task much easier to understand and follow.

Feb 03, 2026I am not sure where to start. First I was turned down by 3 banks because I owned a Manufactured Home. I was about to give up when Tomas Frezghi from Riverbank Finance came into my life. He assured me he could help, though I had my doubts. My home was built before Hud took over, which made a loan on it almost impossible. I am a widow on social security and my credit score was just OK. He led me step by step. Always answered my text in a very timely manner, and today I have my loan and on the best possible terms. If you need someone to be in your corner and think a loan is impossible, don't give up. Call Tomas and just talk to him. Let him spin his magic.

Jan 21, 2026Initial phone call was great, but once we neared our closing date things got rough. First, they failed to inform us that our loan wouldn't be funded on the day of the closing. This not only upset the seller, but didn't allow us to move in on our closing date. Once we got past that, they said the paperwork would be overnighted and it would be funded 3-4 days later (closed on Friday and they said by Wednesday it would fund). Half way through Wednesday we followed up to check the status and was informed that they just received the file and that it now wouldn't be funded for another day. I've purchased several homes, but this transaction was the worst and instead of being apologetic, Riverbank praised themselves for such a speedy time frame to get to closing. I will NOT be using them again in the future.

Dec 29, 2025Had a great experience with Tomas. He was great with communication and worked with me to make sure we could hit the closing date we were shooting for. I’ll definitely give him a call when it’s time to get another mortgage or to refi down the road

Dec 31, 2025Tomas was very helpful throughout the whole process. He kept me up to date and was always very responsive. Id never heard of Riverbank Finance before but Id absolutely recommend them and particularly Tomas to anyone I know.

Nov 17, 2025Anthony went absolutely above and beyond to help us. Our home buying process was a journey and as soon as we got Anthony on board it felt like I could breathe again. Even though we turned to him frantically at what seemed like the last minute, he graciously stepped in and got everything done in a very short amount of time. He was truly our saving grace. Every question we had he answered thoroughly and truly helped us get exactly what we needed.

Nov 12, 2025Sonya Doty went above and beyond. She worked with me for 3 years to put me in my home. She explained every facet of the mortgage process to me made sure I completely understood everything right down to the final signature I signed. She is an amazing agent
