About Travise Smith
Born and raised in South Carolina, I have spent the last seven years living bicoastally between South Carolina and California, giving me a unique perspective on real estate markets, homeownership opportunities, and the financial goals of borrowers from all walks of life. My experience in building, construction, real estate, and mortgage lending spans nearly two decades, dating back to 2007. Having worked in multiple areas of the housing industry that includes residentional and senior living communities, I understand that a mortgage is more than just a loan—it is often the key to building wealth, creating stability, and establishing a legacy for future generations. Whether you are purchasing your first home, upgrading to your dream home, looking to access your equity in the home, investing in real estate, refinancing, building a home, or exploring options to access your home's equity, my goal is to provide education, transparency, and guidance every step of the way. I believe informed borrowers make the best decisions, and I am committed to helping clients understand their options rather than simply focusing on interest rates. As a VP of Mortgage Lending with ONQ Home Loans, I am passionate about helping individuals and families navigate the home financing process with confidence. I work with first-time homebuyers, move-up buyers, real estate investors, veterans, and homeowners seeking refinancing or home equity solutions. Outside of work, I am an avid volunteer and have spent years serving my community through housing initiatives, senior advocacy, disaster response efforts, mentoring, and charitable outreach programs. Service has always been at the center of who I am, both personally and professionally. My mission is simple: to help you become a successful homeowner, real estate investor, or financially empowered borrower while providing the education and support needed to achieve your goals.
