About Eric Painter
A Loan Officer Who Actually Picks Up the Phone
I got into mortgage lending because I believe everyone deserves a clear path to homeownership — not a confusing stack of paperwork and unanswered questions.

My Story
I'm Eric, a Senior Loan Officer at Swift Mortgage, serving borrowers in Arizona, Washington, Oregon, California, New Mexico, Nevada and Texas, with a strong focus on Tucson and Southern Arizona. I've spent 30 years in mortgage lending, helping homebuyers, homeowners and investors navigate the financing process. Before joining Swift Mortgage, I spent 17 years with Nova Home Loans, where I was a 7-time Chairman's Club winner — a top-producer award earned by consistently getting loans closed for clients, year after year. I work with first-time buyers, move-up buyers, homeowners refinancing, and real estate investors, offering conventional, FHA, VA, jumbo, investment property, second home, and second mortgage financing. And when a loan doesn't fit neatly in a box — self-employed income, credit challenges, unusual properties — that's often where I do my best work. After three decades in this business, I've learned that every borrower is different. My job is to listen, explain your options clearly, solve problems before they become obstacles, and help you make a smart financing decision — not just close a loan. I've called Tucson home for 30 years. I'm married with two children and one grandson, and when I'm not working or spending time with family, you'll usually find me bass fishing. My goal is simple: honest guidance, personal service, and a mortgage that makes sense for you.
