Eric Van Swol

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).

    Anthony 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.

    I worked with Anthony Bird as my loan officer on a recent real estate purchase, and I had an excellent experience. He was a clear and timely communicator—always getting back to me quickly and making sure I understood each step of the process. Anthony moved the paperwork efficiently and helped us close in just three weeks. He also took the time to walk me through different loan options, providing helpful guidance along the way. I truly appreciated his professionalism, responsiveness, and support. Highly recommend!

    Anthony Bird and the Riverbank Finance team provided excellent service. In a tough market, Anthony and Team came in and beat my best quote, explained everything thoroughly, and pushed our refi to close in about 2 weeks. I would recommend working with them to anyone.

    Sonya Dody and her team at Riverbank Finance were wonderful in making the buying experience of my condo straightforward and easy. Her guidance in helping me through the various tasks to come to closing took the difficulty and anxiety out of the process. I would highly recommend Sonya and Riverbank Financial when buying or selling a property.
