Experienced Mortgage Team Brings Personalized Home Financing Solutions to the CommunityMount Dora, FL — The Mount Dora Area Chamber of Commerce proudly celebrated the grand opening of Hartford Funding Ltd with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony, welcoming the mortgage lender to the Mount Dora business community.

Located in Mount Dora, Hartford Funding Ltd provides residential mortgage services designed to help individuals and families move forward with confidence — whether they are purchasing their first home, refinancing their current mortgage, or investing in property. Hartford Funding offers a wide range of loan options, including:
- First-time homebuyer programs
- Conventional loans
- FHA, VA, and USDA government-backed loans
- Refinancing options to lower rates or adjust loan terms
- Investment property financing
What sets Hartford Funding apart is its focus on making the mortgage process clear and manageable. Rather than overwhelming clients with technical terms and paperwork, the team walks borrowers through each step — from pre-approval to closing — ensuring they understand their options and feel confident in their decisions.
“Opening our Mount Dora office is an exciting milestone for us,” said Wendy Hartman-Paytas, Branch Manager and Mortgage Loan Originator at Hartford Funding Ltd. “Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions a person will make. My goal is to make that experience as smooth and transparent as possible — answering questions, explaining options, and helping clients find the loan that truly fits their needs.”
With decades of lending experience behind the company, Hartford Funding Ltd combines industry knowledge with a personalized approach. The Mount Dora location allows Wendy and her team to build strong, local relationships and serve clients throughout Central Florida with hands-on support.
The ribbon cutting brought together Chamber members, local leaders, and business professionals to celebrate the company’s investment in the Mount Dora community and its commitment to supporting local homeowners and buyers.
“We’re proud to welcome Hartford Funding Ltd to the Mount Dora Area Chamber of Commerce,” said Rachel O’Ryan, President of the Mount Dora Area Chamber of Commerce. “Access to knowledgeable, trustworthy mortgage professionals is essential for a growing community.
