I've worked with Joe at Hunter Creek Mortgage for over ten years and have done six loans with them! From buying our first home, to investing in land, to home refinancing, Joe is simply the BEST! He's laser-focused, 100% honest, and fully committed to presenting the best loan options, fully answering any questions you might have, then making it happen! When buying our first home, it felt like a struggle to get other loan companies to call back or take the time to listen to our situation; but when I called Hunter Creek Mortgage, the difference was night and day! Don't hesitate to call Joe at HCM

We recently worked with Hunter Creek Mortgage on a home refi. I shopped online lenders and local credit unions first, and Hunter Creek came through with the best deal for us in the end. Joe was fantastic with communication, his level of experience, and intuition about the changing market. If ever we need a mortgage broker in Idaho in the future, we know we won't need to shop around again!

I've closed 2 loans with Joe at Hunter Creek Mortgage and both have been successful, timely and efficient! Joe definitely takes his time to explain and fully research what loan will be best for you and how to save you the most money. He's knowledgeable about all the different types and works hard to find the best deal. I will be using him for my next home purchase!
