A close friend of ours highly recommended Hugo. And we are glad we went with him. I contacted 5-6 different lenders - including credit unions, independent lenders and banks. Let me share my review in 3 parts: 1) BEFORE Finalizing a house: - Gave us competitive rates. But more importantly, helped develop strategy for financial decisions related to buying a house, and for refinancing in future. - Provided pre-approval document in a short time window, to enable us to submit an offer. - Hugo went above and beyond to support us in this overwhelming phase of buying a house. 2) DURING Escrow: - He and his team (Cecily and Lester) answered our questions promptly. - Hugo was also available to explain things over phone calls. 3) AFTER Closing: - He has been available to answer any questions we have even after 4 months of closing! Overall, I highly recommend Hugo. Will work with him again in future. read more

I couldn't have been any happier with Hugo as our loan officer. As a first-time homebuyer, I needed all the help I could get and Hugo was always more than obliging. When we started searching for homes, he walked us through the mortgage process and explained things very patiently. He also helped us get the most competitive deal (in terms of rate and lender credits) his organization could offer. Even though I had better offers from other lenders, I still decided to choose Hugo's organization just because of how good his service had been until that point. During escrow time, Hugo provided all the help he could to make it as stress-free for us as possible. He gave us prompt and immediate updates on every step of our application. I could text him anytime of the day and expect an immediate response. If there was a time-critical step, Hugo would take my calls even outside business hours and on weekends.

We kept hearing about the lengthy home buying process, and the hurdles to clear before actually being able to move in to a home. Well, my wife and I were extremely happy to find Hugo among the sea of people that all promise to be 'the best'. Hugo eventually became our 'Loan Originator', and main point-of-contact through the entire process with MFCU. Prior to entrusting Hugo with the grand responsibility of taking us through all the hurdles of home buying, we called around to different lenders to test the waters and get a grasp of what to expect from this process. Hugo was the first person that actually felt like a knowledgeable, proactive and persistent person that was willing to take us across the "finish line" within a short amount of time that we had set to accomplish the home buying. We spoke with him prior to finding our house, and we let him know that once our offer has been accepted, we would like to get rolling a.s.a.p. We had all the paperwork and documentation ready, so once our offer was accepted, we uploaded our docs to their secure system within an hour or so, and Hugo got to work right away. He truly did. Not only did he keep his promise of closing us within 2 weeks, but he also got us a great mortgage rate. He was always a step ahead, calling our realtor and communicating with all involved parties to make sure to lessen the burden and stress on our end. Hugo was super friendly and always available for any questions we had. I texted him a dozen of times, and some days talked with him multiple times a day just to get on the same page and check in on the progress. We even spoke over the phone when he was on the road, on his way for a weekend trip! It was clear that he was working hard to make our purchasing process the best experience possible, and we couldn't be happier with his efforts. Thanks Hugo. read more

Fantastic customer service! We had the best experience working with Hugo Groening and his team with Mission Federal Credit Union (MFCU) mortgage department. His communication with us was great, he and his team returned our inquiries quickly, he is very knowledgeable, patient, and a pleasure to work with. We would recommend Hugo and his team to anyone looking for mortgage services. MFCU is by far the best financial institution we have ever dealt with. We have used their services from mortgage, escrow, insurance, and even an auto loan. We started working with MFCU when we needed an auto loan and our experiences have been top notch. They have the best interest rates and services out there. A great benefit is MFCU will not sell your loan to another servicer after you close escrow; they will assist you for the life of the loan. read more
