Hi, I’m Gary Eakin, founder and CEO of Snap Mortgage. As a U.S. Air Force veteran and a mortgage professional with more than 25 years of industry experience, my mission is simple: make getting a mortgage easier, faster, and less stressful while helping every client make the best financial decision possible.
Throughout my career, I’ve helped develop innovative mortgage technology and streamlined lending processes for banks, credit unions, mortgage lenders, and loan servicers across the country. I founded Snap Mortgage to bring those same industry-leading tools and processes directly to homebuyers—combining competitive rates, low closing costs, and an exceptional customer experience that puts people first.
Whether you’re buying your first home, refinancing, investing in real estate, or purchasing your forever home, I’m committed to helping you understand your options and choose the mortgage that’s right for your financial goals. I have a special passion for serving military veterans, first responders, and first-time homebuyers, ensuring they receive every benefit and opportunity available to them.
When I’m not helping clients, you’ll usually find me spending time with my wife and our five children or flying our Beechcraft Debonair. As both a business owner and a pilot, I value preparation, precision, and trust—qualities I bring to every client relationship.
I believe a mortgage should never be confusing or overwhelming. My goal is to provide honest guidance, responsive communication, and a smooth closing experience that earns your trust for years to come.
