The Bennett Team at V.I.P. Mortgage, Inc. is led by Seth Bennett, a lifelong resident of Fort Wayne and Northeast Indiana with over 10 years of experience helping individuals and families navigate the home loan process. Seth specializes in personalized home financing solutions—including conventional, FHA, VA, and refinance options—and is guided by a clear personal mission: to provide ethical and responsible lending that helps families build long-term wealth and stability. As he often says, “It is super important to me that everyone I know is always in the best mortgage for their needs.” Whether working with first-time homebuyers, repeat buyers, or clients exploring refinancing, Seth is focused on delivering an experience built on trust, education, and attention to detail, with proactive communication and transparency at every stage of the loan process.

Supporting Seth is Morgan Ginder, an experienced Loan Officer Assistant who also brings over 10 years of mortgage industry expertise to the team. With a strong background in loan processing, communication, and client support, Morgan plays a key role in ensuring a smooth, efficient experience from application to closing. Known for her attention to detail and organization, she works closely with clients, referral partners, and team members to keep every step on track and stress-free. Together, Seth and Morgan proudly serve the Fort Wayne and Northeast Indiana community they call home—Seth alongside his wife, Sara, and their four children, and Morgan with her three children—both deeply committed to giving back and supporting the local families and nonprofits that make this community special.

V.I.P. Mortgage, Inc.

Our History: Built on a Mission to Serve Borrowers Better

V.I.P. Mortgage, Inc. was founded in 2006 by Marine veteran Jay Barbour in Scottsdale, Arizona. What began with just two loan officers was driven by a clear purpose: to make the home loan process simpler, more transparent, and more personal for every client.

Growing While Staying True to Our Roots

From those early beginnings, V.I.P. Mortgage has expanded into a full-service residential lender with more than 20 locations across multiple states. Today, hundreds of licensed loan originators help thousands of families each year, funding billions in home loans—from purchases and refinances to specialized mortgage solutions.
Even with that growth, the focus hasn’t changed. V.I.P. Mortgage remains committed to providing honest guidance, clear communication, and a relationship-first approach—helping clients feel confident every step of the way.
