I have worked with John Hunter for over 24 years and have trusted him with multiple home purchases. His knowledge, honesty and professionalism is outstanding. Friendly, responsive and commitment to his clients is the reason why I will always come back and recommend all my friends. Exceptional is not enough to describe John's quality of work and I can confidently say, there is no one I trust more. Cynthia

“He’s communicative, intelligent and has found a solution for any issue in all my transactions. Up to this point he has a 100% close rate for me and my clients.”

I have used John for all of my personal real estate deals as well as referred him exclusively to all of my clients. He’s communicative, intelligent and has found a solution for any issue in all my transactions. Up to this point he has a 100% close rate for me and my clients.

Response from Owner

Thank you so much for your continued trust and support over the years! It means a lot that you've chosen me for your own real estate financing and have confidently referred your clients as well. I truly appreciate your kind words about my communication, problem-solving, and commitment to getting every transaction across the finish line. It's been a pleasure working with you, and I look forward to helping you and your clients for many years to come!

“John is the best in the business! He works for you as if the loan is for himself. I spent almost 10 years in the mortgage business and John is who I trust for my mortgage needs.”

We have personally completed several mortgages with John Hunter and his team for purchases and refinances. John is the best in the business! He is knowledgeable of all different mortgage programs and products and will work to find the best product to meet your needs, save money and put you in the best financial position. He works for you as if the loan is for himself personally. In one instance, John helped us avoid purchasing a condo in a building with severe building code violations. A situation that our realtor should have helped catch, but John’s experience in the industry shined through and helped us avoid a very costly mistake. I previously spent almost 10 years working in the mortgage business and John Hunter is who I trust for my mortgage needs. I can’t give a higher recommendation. John works with integrity, honesty and upfront, direct communication. Exactly what is needed when you’re trusting someone with one of the biggest financial investments you will make. On top of all of it, John is just a really nice guy! Thank you, John, we appreciate you!

Response from Owner

Thank you so much for this incredible review! You guys are one of my very favorite clients to work with. Your trust and confidence mean more than I can express, especially after working together through multiple home purchases and refinances over the years. I'm grateful you mentioned the condo situation. Sometimes the best part of my job isn't just helping clients get a loan—it's helping them avoid costly mistakes and making sure they're in the strongest financial position possible. That condo issue being such a serious fire risk was one I wouldn't have been able to sleep with! Looking out for my clients' long-term interests will always come first. Hearing these words from someone with nearly a decade of mortgage industry experience makes this especially meaningful. I truly appreciate your recognition of the integrity, honesty, and communication that I strive to provide every day. It has been an absolute pleasure helping you and your family over the years. Thank you again for your continued trust, your friendship, and this amazing recommendation. I look forward to being here whenever you need me in the future. Congratulations again and thank you for allowing my team and me to be part of your real estate ownership and investment journey!

“Buying a home can be stressful, but with John it was as stress-free as it gets. If you're looking for a mortgage professional who's truly in your corner, John Hunter is the one.”

I've worked with John Hunter at Guaranteed Rate for two mortgages over the past 11 years, and I can't recommend him highly enough. My first was after my divorce — my first home purchase on my own, at a time when I really needed some handholding. John and his team guided me through every step. My second was my dream home, and the experience was just as exceptional. What stands out most is how proactive John and his team are. They kept me up to date with frequent updates and got everything done on time or ahead of schedule. John consistently knew what questions I had before I even asked them, and it was clear at every turn that he was looking out for me. I always felt confident they had everything covered. Buying a home can be stressful, but with John it was as stress-free as it gets. If you're looking for a mortgage professional who's truly in your corner, John Hunter is the one to call.

Response from Owner

Thank you so much for this incredible review and for trusting me and my team with not one, but two very important home purchases over the past 11 years. I especially appreciate you sharing your experience with your first home purchase after your divorce. Buying a home on your own can feel overwhelming, and I'm glad we were able to provide the guidance, support, and reassurance you needed throughout the process. Helping clients navigate major life transitions is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do. Congratulations again on purchasing your dream home! It was an honor to be part of that journey as well. My team and I work hard to stay ahead of the process, communicate proactively, and make sure our clients never feel like they're navigating things alone. Hearing that we answered questions before you even had to ask them is one of the highest compliments we could receive. Thank you again for your trust, loyalty, and kind words. We know you have choices when it comes to financing, and we're grateful that you've continued to choose us over the years. Wishing you many happy years and wonderful memories in your dream home, and please know we're always here whenever you need us. I consider you family and am a phone call away!

Response from Owner

Thank you for such an incredible review and, even more importantly, for your friendship, trust, and partnership over the past 15 years. Your support and confidence in me throughout the years mean more than I can adequately express. One of the things I enjoy most about this business is helping clients understand their options and empowering them to make informed decisions that fit their unique goals. No two borrowers are exactly alike, which is why I believe education, communication, and personalized guidance are so important throughout the mortgage process. Thank you for recognizing the effort we put into serving a wide range of clients, from first-time homebuyers and growing families to military relocations, luxury home purchases, and investment property financing.

“John was an absolute lifesaver. ... If you need a lender who can handle high-pressure timelines and deliver flawless results, John is your guy!”

John Hunter was an absolute lifesaver during our recent home buying and selling process. After accepting an offer on our current house, we were on an incredibly tight timeline and had less than a week to get approved and ready to make an offer on our new home. John moved at lightning speed and got us approved almost immediately. Not only did he beat the clock, but he also perfectly aligned our closing dates so we were totally covered during the transition. If you need a lender who can handle high-pressure timelines and deliver flawless results, John is your guy!

Response from Owner

Thank you so much for this amazing review! I'm honored to have been able to help during such an important transition for your family. Buying and selling a home at the same time can be incredibly stressful, especially when working against a tight deadline. I'm glad we were able to move quickly, secure your approval, and coordinate the timing to ensure a smooth transition from one home to the next. Every transaction presents its own unique challenges, and I take great pride in finding solutions that help my clients move forward with confidence. Knowing that we were able to make the process seamless and provide peace of mind throughout the journey means a great deal to me. Thank you again for trusting me with your financing needs and for taking the time to share your experience. I truly appreciate your support and wish you many happy years in your new home!

John is one of the most knowledgeable and informed loan officers in the business. He’s been doing this long enough that there doesn’t appear to be a scenario he hasn’t seen and doesn’t know how to navigate. You’d be hard pressed to find a better option.
