Helping homebuyers across Florida buy homes with confidence, without the stress.


Hi, I'm Cindy Hunt, a mortgage loan officer based in St. Pete Beach, FL, helping clients navigate the home financing process with clarity and confidence for over 33 years.

Whether you're:  
- Buying your first home  
- Exploring refinancing options

I keep the stress off the agents with a simple process and troubleshoot any issues upfront with solid pre-approvals. My Team and I are dialed for seamless transactions. We put the buyer and their agent first.

Do you need 20% down to buy a home?  
No—many buyers qualify with as little as 3–5% down depending on the loan program.  
What credit score do you need?  
It varies, but there are options available even if your credit isn't perfect.  
How much home can you afford?  
That depends on your income, debt, and goals—I'll help you break it down clearly.


I've helped clients in the below Florida cities secure financing for homes ranging from all prices and property types and I'm proud to be a trusted resource for both buyers and local real estate agents.

When I'm not helping clients, you'll find me as a proud Florida native who has deep appreciation for our beautiful coastlines and a passion for marine conservation.
