About Me
Meet Melinda Trent
Welcome to my corner of the internet! I'm Melinda Trent, a Mortgage Loan Officer based in Lancaster, PA. With a blend of creativity, curiosity, and a passion for helping others, I'm on a mission to help home buyers realize their dreams whether for the first- time purchase, an investment or a second home. We can assist you in the state of PA, MD, DE, or FL and if your life journey leads you somewhere else, we have great friends across the country we can refer you to.
What Drives Me?
I'm fueled by a desire to make homeownership dreams a reality. Whether it's for a first- time home, beginning a real estate investment portfolio, or financing a get-away in the mountains or at the beach, I'm dedicated to making a positive impact and inspiring others along the way.
My Journey
My journey in Mortgage Banking over the last 32 years has been filled with twists, turns, and exciting discoveries. I've learned valuable lessons that have shaped me both personally and professionally. I’ve been recognized by Scotsman Guide year over year as a Top 1% Originator nationally and a top performer for Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency.
What Sets Me Apart?
What sets me apart is my compassion, attention to detail and industry knowledge combined with what I believe to be the best team in the country. With a blend of problem solving and strong communication skills, Team Trent brings a unique approach to every loan while focusing on earning a 5-gold star rating from our clients each and every time (and so far we’ve earned over 550 from our clients!).
Let's Connect!
I'm always open to new opportunities, collaborations, and conversations. Whether you're interested in financing a home purchase with a mortgage, or simply want to chat, I'd love to hear from you.

The team is awesome
Dear Guild Mortgage, Melinda Trent is the epitome of professionalism as well as an absolute delight to work with. I may even go as far as to say that a raise might be the appropriate recognition for all that she has done for us. She’s sincerely the best. Regards, Joshua Ressler
This is the fifth time we have worked with team Trent! Melinda and all of her team go above and beyond to always make sure you understand what is happening every step of the way! We even bought a home out of state and Melinda and her team were able to help us the entire way! It was so nice to have the comfort of team Trent when we were starting our new life in another state! Thank you so so much Melinda! We look forward to working with you again and refer you to everyone we know!! Josh and Tyler Ressler
You're the best. The step by step directions were very helpful. I liked the videos.
Melinda and her team provided great customer service, as they always do. That’s why we refer all of our clients to her. Awesome!
I appreciate that you were able to help the client get to the table on a deal that was quite challenging. This Middletown property was part of the George Frey Trust and not many lenders & title companies are familiar with this. You were able to navigate the hurdles and get us to closing, which (after multiple delays in settlement due to originally using a different lender) we were over the moon excited for! Thank you very much and I hope to be able to do business with you again in the future!
