Austin Smith
Branch Manager/ Chief Loan Officer
Austin jumped into the mortgage industry back in 2009 and found his home at Fairway in 2015. Since then, his branch has helped close over 3,500 units and $750 million in volume — and somehow, he still manages to keep his sanity (most days).
When he’s not leading a top-performing branch with over 75 years of combined industry experience, you can find him outdoors — probably blasting music, doing something fast and loud, or cooking over an open flame like it’s a competitive sport (which, let’s be honest, it kind of is).
He’s a proud husband and dad of three awesome kids, which means he’s basically a professional multitasker and master negotiator — skills that come in pretty handy in this business. Known for his quick wit, love of competition, and ability to turn chaos into success, Austin brings energy, humor, and heart to everything he does.

Hi!
Thanks for stopping by to meet our wonderful team. I have been with Fairway since 2012 and count my lucky stars that to have started my career in the industry here.
It’s where I met my smokin’ hot wife, with whom I share the pleasure of raising our two adorable rugrats. In our free time we enjoy going on all kinds of adventures – checking out new parks, the Children’s Museum, and visiting my parents’ Christmas tree farm in Waldron, IN.
I love my family, friends, and of course, my amazing Impact Collective teammates, who I have the pleasure of also calling friends. Hope you will consider working with us and our team on your next purchase or refinance, life is good here.

Loan Officer Assistant
Licensed as an MLO in April of last year, I joined the mortgage industry ready to learn, grow, and help people through one of the biggest moments of their lives — and I’ve loved the fast pace ever since!
When I’m not working, you can usually find me hanging out with my boyfriend and our German Shepherd, listening to music 24/7, being outdoors, or starting another creative hobby I probably don’t need! I love art, nature, and good conversations, and I try to bring that same positive energy into the work I do every day!
I’m passionate about helping people, staying determined, and making the mortgage process feel a little less intimidating (and maybe even enjoyable!)

Everything I love summed up!
My family, our dogs, being outside and enjoying sports (and all things IU).

Fun fact: I was in nursing school and was a phlebotomist (drawing blood) prior to entering the mortgage industry 30 years ago.
