Char Lee Smith
Mortgage Advisor
I love working with active military personnel who are looking to put down roots for themselves and their families. I can help you find the right loan to meet your goal.
As your trusted mortgage advisor, I specialize in working with first-time homebuyers, buyers looking to build a new home, and those serving in the military in North Carolina and Virginia. I like helping buyers get mortgages for new construction, assisting first-time homebuyers with down payment assistance programs, and helping military personnel take advantage of VA loans.
I’ve been in the mortgage industry for 35 years. At McLean Mortgage, we work together to process all the paperwork and make sure we never miss a closing date.
I grew up in McLean, Virginia, and now reside in Greensboro, North Carolina. When I’m not helping clients, I support Brenner’s Foundation, which helps motivate and inspire individuals and corporations to support our veterans and homeless shelters through acts of kindness and leadership. I love hanging out with family and friends and going to movies. Traveling is a passion of mine. When I’m not traveling, I love to read, make holiday crafts, redecorate my home.
Let’s start exploring your mortgage options together.

About
I’ve been in the mortgage industry for 27 years and have worked at MMC for 7. I love talking with our clients, and actually keep in touch with some of them! The excitement at the end of the process when paperwork is finished and the clients get the keys to their new home is my favorite part of my job.
When I’m not helping my clients, I enjoy traveling. My favorite place to be is Badin Lake in North Carolina.

About
I have been in the mortgage industry for 17 years and work diligently behind the scenes to make sure people’s homeownership dreams come true. I love working with my team—collaborating with such a strong group of women is so empowering, and they inspire me to be the best that I can be.
When I’m not helping my clients, I enjoy seeing the world around me. In my free time, you can find me boating, spending time at the beach, or crafting. I am also a retired competitive weightlifter—in 2015, I qualified for the national masters Olympic weightlifting competition.

About
I’ve been in the mortgage industry for 7 years and spent 2 and a half of those with MMC. The best part of my job is helping loan officers build relationships with their realtor partners. I also look forward to event planning whenever I can.
When I’m not helping my clients, I like to spend time outside—whether it be going for a run with my dogs or boating out on the lake or the ocean.
