Could not have asked for a better team. They were quick to answer questions and even quicker in seeing the process through to the end. I would highly recommend Team Hunton to anyone who is looking to buy a house or refinance.

Client Reviews
I am very happy to work with Brian and his team! Brian provided me with an investment vehicle that is flexible and makes economic sense. He answers all of my questions quickly and made the process very easy. He is an integral part of my investments.
As a first time home buyer, Team Hunton was great with helping me throughout the process. At times I was unsure of what documentation may be needed throughout the whole process in applying to buy home. Christina Destefano and Russ Vescovi were super helpful in the process, especially when I may had been confused on certain documents for the loan. The biggest thing for me is that they were very responsive in helping me identify the specific documents that were needed for the lender. Trying to purchase a home in the midst of Covid is probably the craziest thing I’ve done, and I went in with the intention that maybe the process would take a very long time due to being backed up with more clients than just me, however they were very on-top of things. I found the home I wanted, we started the process at the very end of August, and now I’ll be closing on my first home tomorrow (the process took about a month). I’m really happy I chose Hunton – MBA Mortgage for the process overall, Christina and Russ were great and very pleasant to work with.
Brian and team were fantastic to work with and answered all of my inane questions and worries. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If recommend them to anyone.
My wife and I went to Brian a long time before we got serious about buying a house. My wife and I both have a lot of Student Debt which is a source of stress. I actually get overtly catastrophist about money. He was very comforting and laid out a very easy-to-follow, step-by-step plan for us to become homeowners. Brian was very wise and optimistic about our options and, when we were ready to commit, made the process simple. I’ve heard horror stories about people buying houses and stressing out, breaking down, and even giving up. This was the opposite with Brian and all at MBA Mortgage. They were easy to contact, quick to respond, and even added some laughs when things were uncertain. Brian and everyone at MBA Mortgage made my wife and I feel like we were a priority and that they were personally invested in the purchase of our house. We ended up closing on October 2nd on a house my wife and I would consider the house of our dreams. Throughout the whole process, I, the catastrophist about money and finances, didn’t have a moment of doubt, regret, anxiety, or any negative feelings. My wife was shocked. We definitely wouldn’t have been able to do it without Brian and everyone at MBA.
Brian and his team helped lessen the stress of selling and buying a new home. They made us feel relaxed when we didn’t understand something and even saved us money in the end! Very friendly and helpful.
Brian and his team were amazing in my first experience of buying a home! I was extremely nervous even to start this, but I was recommended to go through the Hunton team, and I am so happy I did! Upon the initial phone call with Brian, he was very helpful with all my questions, sent me an email of things I would need, set me up with members from his team, and asked me to call him the following day for further questions. It was awesome! Unfortunately, I never got to meet Brian and his team, given all of our conversations were via email or phone, but they all were extremely responsive, clear, and concise EVERY step of the way. They even reached out after the first month of moving in to see how everything was going! I am very much pleased with all the work The Hunton Team provided me, in this normally stressful time. I will definitely go back for future needs!
Brian and his team worked awesome on my loan process they got back fast were very accurate and kept me in the loop with everything I have to say I would recommend to anybody looking to buy a house it was a great experience for me and my family thanks Brian
Without Brian and his team, we would not be homeowners. Plain and simple. Brian and the team worked hard, both behind the scenes and in front of us, to make our mortgage happen. They were there quickly, any time we needed to answer any questions. I will happily recommend that Team Hunton to friends and family for their mortgage, whether it be first or hundredth.
Team Hunton provided me with what I would consider the best possible experience in order to purchase my home. From the very first communication I was greeted with positivity. Every team member I had the pleasure to work with was professional and courteous. Before learning of team Hunton I thought owning my home was out of reach and a dream at best but they made it a reality for me. I will without hesitation refer friends and colleagues their way!
What a process! There were a few times during this home buying purchase I WOULD have been hyperventilating into a paper bag… if not for the MBA Mortgage team. Every-single-question (and many!) were addressed, answered, and the team even followed up! I found Brian and his team to be very transparent about the process and helped explain projected estimates, details in emails.. and now a month after – THEY ARE STILL CHECKING IN. This is my first time purchasing through MBA Mortgage and I found the experience personal and safe and will highly recommend them!
As a former mortgage broker, I have to take my hat off to the team at MBA Mortgage. Brian, Russ, Amanda, Amanda, and the rest of the crew made our transaction virtually painless. As a business owner, I was worried about being self-employed and all the documentation I would need in order to get the process complete. Team Hunton told me what I needed when I needed it, so I would only have to dig up docs once. The pre-approval not only was easy but was spot-on. They knew the mortgage product that was right for me, they followed through on their quote, and there were no surprises. The easiest part of buying the new home was financing. If you do not know where to go for your mortgage, I highly suggest you call Team Hunton at MBA Mortgage so you can interact with them. My experience is that you will be impressed with their knowledge and straight-forward nature. You will feel confident in their ability to follow through on what they say. In my opinion, when it comes to mortgages, the quoted rate and term and fees are obviously important, but you also need to know that the mortgage professional will follow through on the quote without surprises at closing. That is the experience I had with Team Hunton at MBA Mortgage.
We worked with Brian, Amanda, and Mickey while we were buying our first house and they were amazing! We had so many questions and they were always extremely knowledgeable and supportive. I even had to reach out to Amanda on a Saturday night, and she dropped everything to get me what I needed. I would whole-heartedly recommend them to anyone. They’re the best!
Brian was awesome! He made everything understandable and had all the papers/information ready on time. If I ever needed to ask him a question he would be able to answer it in a short amount of time even if he wasn’t in the office. Brian’s team were also extremely helpful and friendly. They answered all and any questions I had. If they didn’t have the answers they sought them out for me. I highly recommend MBA mortgage to anyone who is in need of this service. I actually already started recommending him and all who have listened and gone to him have been very pleased as well!
Brian explained everything so clearly. He was always available to answer any questions that I had. He is very knowledgeable and accommodating. He was able to close our loan in a very short time period. And did all the work for us. His team made it easy for us. I would use them again and highly recommend them!
I fully recommend Brian and his team. They made the (what I thought would be) nightmare process of buying a home a smooth and seamless process. Brian and his team are extremely knowledgeable and they made me feel at ease during the entire process. I couldn’t have asked for things to have gone any better.
Brian and his team were great through my home buying process. They were very professional. Always there to answer any questions. This is my first homebuying experience, and they were beyond great. I would highly recommend Brian and his team.
Brian and his team were amazing! I cannot thank them enough for all they did to get me and my kids into our own home! They were knowledgeable, informative, responsive and really seemed to truly care. I would recommend them ten times over, they made a stressful long process as seem-less as possible and I am truly grateful!
Brian was great to work with!!! He explained everything clearly and was very responsive to any questions. I am so glad to have him help me with the process. I will be working with him in the future when we buy our forever home!!!
I cannot give Brian and his team enough positive praise! We had a less than ideal buying experience due to builder delays on new construction, but Brian and his team were with us in our corner every step of the way. They provided flawless communication and service, sometimes emailing me back late at night or early hours of the morning when most people are tuned out from their work-life. Rest assured that every step of the way they are looking out for your best interest and will fight for their clients. I cannot express the amount of gratitude I have for Brian, Amanda and Mickey, they are truly a rockstar team. I would 100% recommend working with them!
My wife and I recently purchased a new home using Brian Hunton and his team at MBA. We can not say enough good things about them. They were a pleasure to work with, they kept in constant contact, and made sure we knew everything that was going on. Most importantly they are personable, you can talk to any of them like they were a close friend and not have to worry about them dismissing you or making you feel like they don’t care about your concerns. You can’t go wrong with Brian and his team!
Brian, Christina, and Tristan helped us refinance our home recently. This is the fourth time we have used Brian and the team for either a home purchase or a refinance. We keep going back to them because they are incredibly helpful and work extremely hard for us. They take the time to explain everything to us no matter how long it takes (haha) to ensure that we fully understand the process. Brian and the team make suggestions to us but in no way ever pressure us to make anyone particular decision. They always have our best interests in mind. Always. Very satisfied repeat client!
Brian Hunton and his phenomenal team at MBA Mortgage Corporation are beyond incredible. We had so many different questions, “what ifs”, and different things we needed to understand, and Brian and his team answered every single one of them quickly and consistently and NEVER made us feel like we were a burden, even in the slightest. And they did it all happy because it’s what they do…they make the WHOLE mortgage process easy, understandable, and seamless all while treating you as if you were their family. They presented every option we had based on different things that could or did occur and then pivoted perfectly while keeping us 100% informed of what our best options were. It was beyond incredible to work with them and we truly got the best mortgage, lowest rates, lowest fees, perfect conditions, and most incredible service you could ever ask for. I can’t sing their praises more and I have been and will continue to recommend them to every single family member, friend, and the person I can. Thanks to Brian and his team for making our dream house a reality.
Brian was recommended by my realtor to help me with my first home purchase. This was a scary process for me, but Brian and his team were extremely helpful in answering any questions I had, communicating with the finance company, and ensuring I experienced as little stress as possible throughout the process. I would highly recommend Brian if you are purchasing a home.
The home buying experience can feel like so much. The commitment, the money, dealing with banks, realtors, agents, the legalities…it can just seem so overwhelming. Brian was incredibly helpful in simplifying all of it. As a first time home buyer, I didn’t know much. Right from the get-go, Brian ensured me that he would be there throughout their whole process. It didn’t matter what time of day, how “stupid” the question, he took time in explaining the process to understand the bigger picture, and I am grateful to have had him as a resource throughout this process. I look forward to working with him again.
When we started our home search, we weren’t even certain which state we would purchase in. I was working six days/65+hours a week and we were entirely new to the home buying process. Brian worked with us to make sure we were well informed and helped get all of the paperwork arranged around our busy schedule. We ended up in a great home and were able to close two weeks early thanks to Brian’s rapid response to everything. Best of all, the down payment was close to half what I had expected!
Brian helped us with our mortgage on our home 8 years ago and just helped us refinance! He and his team were thorough and easy to work with. Brian answered all our questions and was able to get us a great new rate! I would highly recommend Brian!
Brian and his team were amazing. As a first-time buyer, we were pretty lost but this guy and his team got us our loan and worked very hard for us. Even got our deposits back. Oh yeah, and he’s available almost 24/7 to answer questions or concerns, very responsive
Brian and his team made our home buying process so much easier than expected. This was our 3rd time buying, so we know how stressful it can, and is, buying a home. They were always very professional, and kept us, our realtor, and the sellers realtor informed. He is very knowledgeable about the process and all of his team replies back to you promptly through email, phone, and text. We would recommend them 100%.
I have bought three homes over the last seven years and I have used Brian Hunton of MBA mortgage for each experience. Hassle-free, around the clock service and total attention detail as well as explanation of the process. He’s the best of the best.
Brain told us what we needed and what we would have to do explaining it very well, everything went very smooth more so then I thought it would, Thank you Brain!!!
We refinanced with the help of Brian and Amanda, and again, were very satisfied with the personal customer service we received. They are always looking out for our best interests and are incredibly quick to follow up on any of the questions or concerns. I would not hesitate to recommend them.
I can’t say enough about my experience with Brian Hunton and his team at MBA Mortgage! Professional, knowledgeable, efficient, dedicated, personable, and extremely helpful just to name a few. As a first-time home buyer, I came into this experience with very little knowledge about the home buying process but Brian made it easy and explained things every step of the way. Every question, every email was answered promptly. Not one hang up along the way AND we even closed WEEKS ahead of schedule. So glad to have worked with this team, they are the BEST! I highly recommend them to anyone and everyone! THANK YOU!!
I’ve had experience with getting a mortgage twice before, a local bank told me I wouldn’t be approved, so I went to HUNTON, they were friendly, helpful, professional, my wife and I are now enjoying our new home!! Thank you, Brian and staff!
In early February I was toying with the idea of purchasing a forever home for my family. I briefly spoke with a realtor who directed to me Brian’s office. Within 4 days I already had a pre-approval. We found our dream house… and purchasing wouldn’t have been nearly as easy without Brian’s team taking on all of the work. The consistent updates and communication also gave you a sense of calmness during a crazy period in your life. Anyone that’s looking to purchase would be making the right choice with Brian and his team to help every step of the way.
I have refinanced with Brian several times over the years and he not only saved me thousands of dollars by finding me the best rates available but made the process so easy. I recently sold a home and purchased another that had many moving parts and complications. Brian and his team said, “don’t worry, we’ve got this”. They absolutely did, they walked me through the process step by step, and in the end, I have a great home with the best interest rate they could find. I highly recommend Brian and his team and can say with certainty if the time comes to move on I will contact him for my next mortgage.
We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Brian and his entire team (Amanda and Russ)!! Brian helped us out when we reached out to him on a Saturday afternoon to get us an updated pre-qualification letter. He responded instantly and worked diligently to get us the letter that weekend to put an offer on a house. From that point on, he was never out of contact or unavailable. Brian and his team are super professional, detail-oriented, and put 110% into your particular situation. We never felt out of the loop, he always did a great job of explaining the current situation in our closing process, and what the next steps would look like. Team Hunton goes above and beyond, they are true professionals!
Working with Brian and his team was a great experience really good people to work with extremely helpful and understanding. They answered questions in a timely manner and were always friendly to deal with. Would absolutely recommend Brian and his team to anyone buying a house.
Could not have been more satisfied with the team. I used Brian as a first time home buyer made the process extremely easy extremely helpful throughout the process. Very quick to respond with any question I’ve had during the process.
Brian and his team were absolutely amazing. Russ is so wonderful. Anything we needed, even on a Sunday, we got a quick response back within 15 minutes. Being first time home owners of course we were excited and nervous with tons of questions. We always felt comfortable reaching out to the team. Communication is key and they were with us every step of the way. I would highly recommend Brian and his team. My husband and I are very happy homeowners thanks to Team Hunton!
MBA was a great mortgage lender. I shopped a few lenders before Brian Hunton was recommended by my realtor. He and his team were excellent they went above and beyond for my deal and worked after hours numerous times to help get the deal done. FHA was extremely nitpicky and tedious but Brian made the process seamless. I would highly recommend MBA to anyone that’s looking to finance a house! Thanks Again Brian and the MBA Team!!
Brian Hunton and the rest of the MBA Team were great to work with. They were always pleasant and eager to answer any questions I had. They worked very diligently to be sure my loan process went as smooth as possible right through to closing. We hit a couple of bumps in the process but Brian always has a plan B.
Working with Brian and everyone at MBA was great. The mortgage process is convoluted and Brian laid everything out in an organized and easily understandable fashion. There were a lot of hoops to jump through for a USDA loan and he helped us all along the way and was available when I had to ask any questions. We had problems along the way with small things and we solved them quickly and kept the process moving. It was a lot to wrap your head around and having someone that completely understands the process is a must-have. Brian came as a recommendation from family and I would continue recommending him to friends and family for the great work he does.
Brian and his team were great and I would work with him in the future. Being a first time home buyer is both stressful and filled with anxiety, but MBA’s Athol branch was very helpful, always willing to answer questions and make the process as comfortable as possible. I was in a good position where I could take my time looking for a house and there was no pressure to rush into anything. There was a feeling of working together, not being under the gun because they are deadline-oriented and keep you ahead of schedule as much as possible.I suggest anyone sit down with Brian at the beginning of the process because he is a straight shooter and a good guy that will steer you in the right direction. Thanks again to him and his team for all the help and hard work.
I had my first experience working with MBA Mortgage for a Loan Refinance. I had an excellent experience in working with them to close my deal. Working with Brian H and Brianna V, they provided top-notch service. The entire process was a very smooth transaction. Brian H was very responsive and very helpful with both presenting and helping me understand my refinance options. Brianna’s excellent communication and ability to continuously follow-up throughout the entire process to provide updates, without me having to check-in in first, always made me feel like she was on top of things. It created a sense of transparency where I was always felt like I was kept up to date on what was going on and where we were in the process. All my emails and/or phone calls were typically always responded to same-day where I never felt like I was chasing someone to help me. When it came time to work with my particular lender, Brianna made me feel like she always was working in my best interest. Whether it be helping me with understanding disclosures or making it clear of deadlines that needed to be met, she always was willing the help and kept things organized throughout the transaction. Thank you for the AWESOME experience. I would highly recommend MBA mortgage!
From start to finish, a fantastic crew, I highly suggest using Brian and Team for any of your needs. It’s hard to find somebody and knowledgeable and helpful, and am very pleased !!!!
Second time working with Brian and his Team – HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!
Brian and his team helped me with my first home purchase, and then with my refinance a year later. I have recommend them to a friend who also closed out on their first home, and I was recommend to them by a friend who has closed on 3 houses with them. The reason i keep going back to them / recommending to friends:
1. Unmatchable responsiveness and attention to detail
2. They kept ME on track, which is super helpful when you don’t know the process well
3. Super friendly, and you can tell they have your best interest in mind
Brian, Russ, and Christina ROCK!

Working with Brian was easy and enjoyable. He gives you the steps you need to take to make things happen. From start to finish Brian was there whenever we had a question. He went above and beyond to make sure we understood and felt secure in what was happening. You didn’t feel you were just another mortgage. He took the time to make you feel like you were dealing with a trusted friend. The thing is you mention getting a mortgage around town people automatically ask, “Are you going through Brian?” MBA Team Hunton Mortgage is overflowing with integrity. They are a true asset to our community. It has been a pleasure to refer others to them.
As a first time home buyer with no previous knowledge on the subject Brian and his team were patient and forthcoming with any and all information I needed throughout the entire process.
I really can’t express enough how amazing Brian was from the get-go. I was a first-time homeowner and I walked into this process as if I were blindfolded, with so much nervousness and so many questions. From the start, Brian reviewed my info thoroughly and was very confident he could help me with a loan and easy-going, to boot. Whenever I came to him and his assistant, they were able to ease my worries and answer the endless questions I had. He never left me hanging — literally responding to emails and texts within minutes. And, he did the impossible for me — he was able to expedite my timeline in a way that leaves me in awe and forever grateful. I travel a lot for work, leaving me with very limited windows to look for a home and then go through the purchasing process. This required him and his assistant to wrangle all of the key people in the process (seller, seller’s agent, lawyers, buyer’s agent, insurance people, etc.) to keep everyone on a very specific timeline with a clear action plan and very specific deadlines. And if any date was approaching without said action completed, there were always reminders in the inbox. Also, he and his team are diligent with updates, so I was never left wondering where we stood in the process. Thanks to Brian and his incredible team, I am now a homeowner (!) and there are no words to express my happiness. Even since the purchase, Brian has been in touch with a congratulations card, check-ins, and even there to guide me through my first mortgage payment, etc… all with no prompting. He is amazing. I can’t wait to recommend everyone I know to him, including whoever is reading this!!! It was pure luck that I found him…. thank goodness.
I really liked working with Team Hunton. They did a great job keeping us informed of what was going on and information that they needed to make the whole process go as smoothly as possible, during the Corona Virus. Would highly recommend this team of professionals.
We had an amazing experience working with Brian. We had zero money saved up and were in a hurry to buy! Brian helped make buying our first home possible! He and his team are wonderful!!!
This is my second review for Brian Hunton and his team at MBA Mortgage. When interest rates dropped, I reached out to refinance my home after having such a positive experience as a first time homebuyer with them 3 years ago. Again, I had no idea what I was doing and they educated me and promptly answered all my questions. They have always left me feeling like I knew what I was getting myself into, and they were providing quality business and had my best interest in mind, always. I worked with Russ mostly on the refinancing and he pushed really hard to get great numbers and timely closing. It went better than I expected. I cannot express how important it is to work with a team you can trust. The peace of mind that comes from working with this team is priceless. I am grateful for the whole team at MBA Mortgage and look forward to future business with them. I encourage all my friends and family to work with them, and wish continued success for the company because they truly deserve it!
