Local Roots, Personal Touch
We're a close-knit team of mortgage professionals based right here in Lehi, Utah—and we wouldn't have it any other way.
Our Story
Built on Experience, Driven by Purpose
Preferred Lender was founded by Jena Hunt with a clear mission: to create a mortgage experience that actually puts people first.
Coming from a real estate background, Jena understood something that many lenders miss—buying a home is deeply personal. It's not just about rates and paperwork. It's about making dreams happen, reducing stress, and building trust with both clients and the realtors who serve them.
That philosophy became the foundation of Preferred Lender: a company where the client experience isn't just a buzzword, it's the entire point.

How We Work
What Makes Us Different
We're not trying to be the biggest. We're focused on being the best—for you.
Collaborative Spirit
We lean on each other's expertise to find the perfect solution for every client. Your situation is unique—our team approach ensures we explore every option.
Genuinely Personal
We're not a call center. When you work with us, you get real people who know your name, understand your goals, and care about your success.
Client-First Always
Every decision we make starts with one question: what's best for the client? That philosophy shapes everything we do.
Come As You Are
No judgment, no pressure. Whether you're a first-time buyer or a seasoned investor, we meet you where you are and guide you forward.
Our Team
Stronger Together
We're a small team, and that's intentional. Every member brings unique expertise to the table, and we collaborate constantly to find the best solution for each client. Your situation won't fit in a box—and neither do we.
When you call us, you'll talk to someone who knows your file, understands your goals, and genuinely wants to help. That's the Preferred Lender difference.
In the Community
Part of the Neighborhood
We're not just located in Utah—we're invested in it. You might run into us at a local trunk-or-treat, community event, or grabbing coffee down the street from our office.
Being local means we understand the market, know the neighborhoods, and care about the same community you do. When you succeed, our community gets stronger.
Come Say Hello
We'd love to meet you in person. Stop by our Lehi office for a coffee and a conversation about your mortgage goals—no pressure, just real talk.
