Senior Loan Officer · NMLS #292224
I'm Mindy Hay, a senior loan officer with Union Home Mortgage. Over 16 years I've helped thousands of families finance their homes — first-time buyers finding their footing, growing families upsizing, and homeowners refinancing into something better.
My promise is simple: you'll always know where your loan stands, you'll get straight answers fast, and you'll have a real person on your side from pre-approval to the keys. My team and I keep it moving so you can focus on the exciting part.
— Mindy Hay
Mindy was named a Union Home Mortgage 2025 President's Club Member — an honor reserved for the company's top-performing loan officers — after helping 58 families reach the closing table in a single year. It's proof of what clients feel firsthand: steady guidance and a loan that actually closes.
Behind every smooth closing is Mindy's support team, keeping your file on track and your questions answered so nothing slips between pre-approval and the keys.
Buying a home from out of state could have been overwhelming, but Mindy made the entire process feel seamless. She was always available, incredibly organized, and proactive — I can't recommend her highly enough.
We'd been trying to buy for months with other lenders before switching to Mindy — she got it done in two weeks. She even called the listing agent to talk up how strong our offer was. I don't know a lender out there who'd do that.
Mindy has been my preferred lender for almost 10 years. My transactions close on time and seamlessly, and my clients love working with her.
I'm a first-time homeowner, and Mindy's experience and genuine compassion made the whole process as painless and smooth as possible. I'll keep recommending her to friends and family.
From day one she was supportive, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable. She made what could have been a stressful time feel smooth and even exciting — we couldn't have found our dream home without her.
Mindy would call to go over the numbers and answer every question. Our experience felt personal and heartfelt — like she truly had our best interest at heart.

It depends on the loan. VA and USDA loans can be $0 down for eligible buyers, FHA is as low as 3.5%, and many conventional loans start at 3% down. First-time buyer programs and down payment assistance may lower it further. Mindy will match you to the right program.
