About Michael

If you remember one thing about me, remember this: Hunstad Makes Loans.

With over 30 years of mortgage lending experience, my reputation speaks for itself. Quite simply, I make loans happen. I work hard to find you the best mortgage to make your dream of homeownership a reality.

In addition to purchase loans, I offer refinance and renovation programs. Whatever your home financing needs are, I provide outstanding customer service combined with extensive product knowledge to give you the superior mortgage experience you deserve.

The Central Coast is my home and my community. I’m a lifelong resident, deeply involved in serving our beautiful region through Rotary International, the Knights of Columbus, and my church. I love to play golf and enjoy the camaraderie of a good round, or even a not-so-good round!

Owning a home is fun and fulfilling!

What’s not to love about having a space that is entirely yours? You can paint your bathroom fuchsia, have hardwood in the master, put up a wild Mosaic in the kitchen, install a smart thermostat, you name it. After all, it’s your home!

Equally enjoyable are the other personal and financial advantages of being a homeowner: security and stability, equity and wealth building, and more! I’m here to help you get the most from your home financing — whether you’re buying your first home, moving up or downsizing to match your lifestyle, or refinancing your current mortgage.

Helping your home financing process go smoothly.
