My wife and I were very pleased to work with Oscar Gonzalez at Mares Mortgage. He helped us get into the right loan that fit our needs. We were impressed by his knowledge, attention to detail, trustworthiness, and direction throughout the entire process from start to finish.
Oscar from the beginning gave us the direction needed to get our financial situation in order before moving forward on the listing of our old home and the purchase of our new home.
When it came to the loan process, he gave us options and explained them clearly and thoroughly. Oscar was accessible and always had time for us. His advice and professionalism were exceptional. We couldn’t be more happy with Oscar and will continue to give him our business in the future.Anybody looking for a loan, look no further then Mares Mortgage and ask for Oscar!

Excellent mortgage service! This is the second time I worked with Cutberto (Cubie) Hernandez – first was to take out a mortgage loan against my home, and second as a refi with cash out. My experience the first time was so positive that I contacted Cubie again the second time without hesitation. Both times he and his team at Mares Mortgage were quick to respond, and patient to walk me through the steps and explain any confusing procedures to put me at ease. He even made the signing of loan docs convenient. The first time, I was on a trip to Northern Cal, but we didn’t need to wait until my return because he sent a notary to the hotel where I was staying, when I had some down time in my schedule! The second time, the notary came after hours to my house so I didn’t have to leave early from work. I appreciate that they accommodated me, and worked hard for me. I felt very taken care of and valued as a client. I will use them again if the need ever arises, and highly recommend them to anyone who wants to get the job done right, professionally, quickly, and conveniently. Thank you, Cubie, and Mares Mortgage, for the trust I have in you with my biggest investment!

Words cannot begin to express the respect and admiration I have for Christian Hernandez and the team at Mares Mortgage. We started the house buying process nearly 1.5 years back. We started to work with three other mortgage brokers who quickly grew impatient with us because of our limited financial resources. As a newly married couple with minimal liquid capital, we needed to pursue FHA funding. Unlike the other brokers we worked with, Christian consistently went above and beyond the call of duty before, during, and even after the purchase of our new home. I have never written an online review before, but I decided that I would do so for Christian because he has been so terrific. We would likely not have been able to buy our home if it wasn’t for him. Forever grateful! Five stars!! You will not be disappointed.
