## Hello! I'm Eric Smith at Gateway Mortgage.

I live in the Hurricane area, conveniently close to my office, with my wonderful wife and two children. I love spending my free time watching my son play soccer and my daughter horseback riding. As a Veteran, I am passionate about helping fellow service members and veterans achieve their homeownership dreams.

With over 12 years of experience in the mortgage and banking industries, I am dedicated to ensuring you find the best mortgage product for your unique situation. Since 2020, I have been honored to be listed in Scotsman's Guide Top Mortgage Originators and made Gateway's Presidents Club.

My commitment to my clients is rooted in exceptional service and a deep understanding that your home is vital to your life and our community. I can effectively serve many customers by partnering closely with realtors and other professionals in the Kanawha and Putnam communities. Let's work together to make your homeownership journey smooth and successful! I am devoted to building stronger communities and families one home at a time. Call me today or visit our Hurricane WV Mortgage Center, and let’s get started!

> Chris Padley is amazing!!! He walked me through this entire process. His videos are so helpful. I don't know what I would have done without him. This process was overwhelming to me but he made it so easy and stress free. So grateful for Chris!!!
> — Kristen, Gateway Customers
> We have bought 4 homes in the last ten years. The mortgage companies we've dealt with have all been good, but Chris, Chandler and the rest of his team take it to an unmatched level with their responsiveness, advice, flexibility, and assistance in getting it done. They provided great direction on options and responded promptly to all questions and requests. By far the best mortgage team I've ever worked with.

> Chris was amazing, through all the twists and turns and changes, he was calm and competent, and he’s the reason my dream home is coming true. He is very responsive, even outside of business hours, and will do everything he can to make sure your home buying process goes smoothly. My favorite part though, are his Tuesday updates, he personally recorded little messages every week that kept me in the loop on where we were, so I was never lost during the process. If I could give 10 stars I would.
