About Matt Minder

Meet Matt Minder – Your Trusted Mortgage Lender

I’m passionate about helping people turn their dream of homeownership into reality. With over 30 years of experience in the mortgage industry, I’ve had the privilege of guiding hundreds of clients through one of the most important financial decisions of their lives — buying a home.

Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, a growing family in need of more space, or someone looking to refinance, I’m here to make the process clear, smooth, and stress-free. I believe in honest advice, responsive communication, and personalized solutions that fit your unique goals and lifestyle.

At the heart of what I do is a genuine desire to educate and empower my clients so they feel confident every step of the way. When you work with me, you’re not just getting a loan — you’re gaining a long-term partner in your financial journey.

My wife and I Iive and have raised our family in the South Maplewood area. I enjoy camping, hiking, golf, hockey, and I am a proud original season ticket holder of the Minnesota Wild. I look forward to helping you find the perfect loan and making your homeownership dreams come true,

Let’s get started — my door is always open!
