About Kent Martinson

Kent began his mortgage banking career in 1990 where he quickly rose in the ranks as a branch manager and continued his growth from there. Throughout his career he earned multiple awards and designations including #1 Construction/Permanent Lender, a consistent President’s Club member, and repeat Top 1% of Lenders Nationwide. In joining Homeowners Financial Group in 2020, he continued this pattern earning President’s Club and maintaining his status as an affiliate member of the Scottsdale Association of Realtors.

Originally from Westhope, North Dakota, Kent attributes his work ethic and relationship building to his parents who were a builder and a teacher. They taught him the importance of hard work and were great role models in how to treat everyone with respect. He graduated from North Dakota State University with a Major in Microbiology and Minor in Mathematics. Kent’s love of math has greatly helped his mortgage career and the business continues to lead his very fulfilling life, knowing that he has helped thousands of clients in the very best ways possible.

Kent’s absolute favorite part of his job is customer service.  He prides himself on always being available to help his clients 24/7, because you don’t only buy homes Monday through Friday from 9:00 to 5:00.  To do this job well, you need to assist people at 8:00 in the evening and the beauty of HFG’s technology allows him to prequalify clients quickly so they can make offers on the homes they want to purchase. Partnering with HFG has given Kent access to a diverse array of mortgage products, great rates and incredibly talented and dedicated people that execute the entire process flawlessly, including his son Tyler whom he’s worked with for the past 12 years. Being able to watch his son grow in the industry and thrive supporting their clients has been extremely rewarding.

Many years ago, Kent realized how many out of state loans that he was closing so he started keeping track on a map of the U.S., quickly realizing that he had closed loans in 35 states. He is excited to reach his goal of all 50 one day with the help of HFG’s nationwide presence. He currently holds licenses in Arizona, California, Texas, North Dakota and Michigan.

A longtime member of the Fountain Hills Presbyterian Church for over 30 years, both himself and his wife have served as Deacons. Through their church they have been involved in many charities, always helping people in need and giving as often as possible as their main focus. Along with Kent’s love of giving back to the community he is also an avid sports fan and has played most of them through the years. Nowadays he mostly golfs with his family, including his kids, Tyler and Anna and their families. Kent is the proud grandparent to four and looks forward to seeing the wonderful things his children achieve as parents and watching his grandchildren grow up.
