About Joe and Eric Metzler, Senior Loan Officers

Cambria Mortgage, the Joe Metzler Team has been making home buying dreams come true for nearly 30 years. Like many of the people that we help find financial security through their homes, we too are grateful to every one of our borrowers who have allowed us to grow our lending potential over the last two decades. Through providing financial support and services to satisfied homebuyers, Addendum has funded over $4 billion in home loans.

Joe started his mortgage career with a small mortgage broker in the 1990’s. It quickly became apparent that a small broker simply couldn’t offer the product or service his customers deserved and demanded. Not having any control over a loan once a broker sends it to the real lender, just wasn’t working.

Joe then moved onto a local correspondent lender, where he had a much bigger set of loan options, but more importantly, they took the application, processed the loan, did all their own underwriting, and funded their own loans.  

In the early 2000’s, Joe’s business had grow to the point of needing a full time assistant. Knowing he needed the best, Joe had to look no further than his own home, hiring his oldest son Eric.  Being a quick learner, Eric got licensed himself as a Loan Officer.

This worked well for over 20-years. Joe and Eric closed thousands of loans, and won multiple local and national awards, including the 2014 State of Minnesota Loan Officer of the Year, and multiple “Top Producer” awards.

Eventually, the winds of change blew through, and in 2019, it was time for Joe and Eric to find a new home again. Having searched high and low for the best all around lender, they finally selected local Minnesota based Cambria Mortgage.

Don’t let anyone fool you.  Mortgages are complex with many moving parts. In today’s market, there is simply no substitute for a good lender. Whatever your mortgage goal, an experienced loan officer can spell the difference between a smooth process and an unsuccessful one.  Cambria Mortgage and the Joe Metzler Team can provide you with the highly specialized information to help you make the right decision.
