About BayPort Lending

A local team, built to help you succeed

BayPort Lending is a mortgage broker in Punta Gorda, Florida — founded to give families and investors a clearer, faster path to the right home loan.

Our story

BayPort Lending was founded in 2021 by Daniel Hughes, who spent more than a decade in the mortgage industry — starting as a processor and working his way up to loan originator. He built BayPort as a platform for loan officers to succeed while helping families achieve homeownership, with plans to grow into a multi-state brokerage.

Why work with a broker?

As a broker rather than a single bank, BayPort compares programs and pricing across many lenders to find a competitive fit for your situation — whether you're buying your first home, refinancing, investing, or financing commercial property. You get more options and one local point of contact from application to closing.
