Services
Our team will patiently guide you through every step of the mortgage process. This allows you to enjoy a stress-free financing experience whether you're refinancing, buying your first home, or purchasing an investment property. If you're worried that your income and credit history will prevent you from buying a home, an FHA Loan may be just what you need.
Wondering just how much lower your payments will be on a 30-year fixed mortgage compared to a 15-year fixed? When you obtain a 30-year fixed rate loan to buy your home or refinance, you'll make monthly payments based on the interest rate and principal loan amount. Each monthly payment you make will pay down a portion of your loan balance, which includes interest and principal.
When you obtain a 15-year fixed rate loan to buy your home or refinance, you'll make monthly payments based on the interest rate and principal loan amount. Because the term of a 15-year mortgage is half that of a traditional 30-year fixed mortgage, you'll pay significantly less interest over the life of your loan.
Keep in mind that you'll have to pay for mortgage insurance if your down payment is less than 20% of your home's purchase price. When your Flex-Term fixed rate mortgage closes, you'll start making monthly payments based on the interest rate and the principal loan amount. As with a traditional 30 or 15-year fixed rate loan, each monthly payment will pay down a portion of your loan balance.
The VA Loan program offers a variety of flexible loan options including fixed rates on 30, 20, and 15-year terms. 5-year adjustable-rate and Jumbo VA loans are also available. Ability to refinance up to 100% of your primary home's value or buy your primary home with no money down. Option to easily refinance with reduced funding fees and flexible documentation requirements using a VA Streamlined Refinance.

Phil and his team at The Mortgage Hub helped me close today on my new home loan. If I could give six stars I would. I've gone through one other home purchase and refinancing it and both times it was such a headache but Phil and his team made it as stress free as could be. Phil was available any time I called, I had multiple questions and yet he was always happy to answer them and explain everything, and to top it off they offered amazing rates. I couldn't have had a better experience.

Salomon Chang was thorough in guiding us through the thickets of a mortgage refi process AND in answering a million inquiries en route, though the amount of documents we ended up having to submit (for a smallish mortgage) was enough to paper the entire US Capitol.

My broker Eric Johnson provided me with the best service in any transaction I can remember having. Before this refinance I have had all bad experiences with Lenders until I met Eric. He did everything he said he would do and the loan closed so much faster than I imagined it would. The Mortgage Hub and Eric are the Best!

I refinanced with John a total of two times. Each time, John and his team have been exceptional and provided great customer service. I don't really do reviews, but felt it was necessary due to how great the process was with John and his team. Definitely recommend this company and literally have nothing bad to say. Thank you John.

It was a 2nd time where Phil and his staff helped me refinancing my property. The service was great, rates were suburb, and the drive for customer satisfaction was evident on every level of this organization. I couldn't be happier. Six stars from me...

I highly recommend using The Mortgage Hub. Everything that was said, was done. We were walked through the process never feeling concerned or with doubt. John and his team were very professional and the highlight of the process was the weekly updates sent via video. Communication was key as with everything going on during this time, he was always available via video or phone. The knowledge John has in this industry is why he and his team do so well. Give John the opportunity and he will not disappoint.

As usual Mortgage Hub provided exemplary personal and dedicated service throughout the refinance process, the very reason we’re repeat clients. Even during this difficult time, our experience is expectedly seamless and honestly, quick. Kudos to Phil and his team for always providing coordinated, earnest, and highly commendable service for their customers.

John and Ashley were so great through the whole loan process!! They sent weekly updates via videos PLUS stayed in contact throughout the week so we always knew where we stood. I would recommend them to anyone looking for advise on a future loan or current loan! Thanks to both of you for helping us buying a home go smoothly!

I was referred to John by a family member. Since the first time I talked to him about my situation, I knew he was professional and reliable. He is patient, knowledgeable, and always goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of and done the right way the first time. He has also educated me on home loans. I will continue to refer my family and friends to him.

We recently closed on our home and Phil was amazing!! He guided us through the entire process and was always happy to answer any questions my husband and I had. We loved how he had our best interest at heart! He was easy to reach and we were never left in doubt during the process. I highly recommend him and have even promoted him to friends/family! Phil is a true pro at what he does!!

Just when you think it is impossible, Salomon comes through and makes it happen for you! In today’s market it is really difficult to qualify for a home loan. High interest rates and red tape are usually huge road blocks. A creative and resourceful lender is what buyers need! After working with Salomon and his team (especially Kristy) I will be making all of my purchases with them and referring everyone to them! If you are working with this team consider yourself extremely lucky!

John and his team handled the finance and subsequent refinance of our home when rates dropped. Dealing with John and the team there at the Mortgage Hub was a great experience. His team was very informative, pleasant to deal with and keep us in the loop every step of the way. My Wife and I have dealt with other mortgage companies in the past but John and his team are by far the best we've had the pleasure to do business with. They are top notch and will make you comfortable with the financing process. We will not hesitate to use them again and highly recommend them for your mortgage needs.

John has helped me refinance twice. He has been incredibly professional and helpful. Explains everything step by step. At the end of each conversation he always asks, "Do you have any questions." I highly recommend John.

Effortless, straightforward and uncomplicated! That is the genuine experience I had working with John Meraz.

John came as a recommendation from a few friends of mine, all of which had great experiences with working with John. Personal experiences that ranged from home purchases, loans and refinances. At the time I was working on a refi and completely spinning my wheels with Chase Bank.

Let me expand on that. I had been working with Chase for a few months, yes months! The honest truth, I didn't even receive a call back or email after working with the same "Finance Specialist"

Finding a lender is easy however, finding a professional takes time. As a realtor I have dealt with many lenders. No one has come close to the experience, knowledge, and professionalism that Phil and his team at the Mortgage Hub have. They are masters at their craft. Phil strategically structured my loan in a way that could only be done by someone with his level of experience. Working with him was smooth and I highly recommend him to other agents and home buyers.

From the first day I spoke to John he did his absolute best to inform me on any and everything regarding the loan process . He truly made the home purchasing experience an amazing one . He helped me more than my actual agent and looked out for us at all times ! He was available at all times for any questions I had and whenever we came across a bump in the road he had a solution soon after . I would and will recommend him to all my family and friends . Thanks for all the help John !

John is very knowledgable with the real estate process. First, he sold our condo in Long Beach, then helped us buy our new home in Whittier and did our loan as well. He took into consideration the details in what we were looking for in a home. If we had any questions about any documents he made sure to explain it until we completely understood. He and his whole team were very professional and made this whole real estate and loan process experience a breeze!
HIGHLY recommend!

Salomon and his team at Mortgage Hub were simply amazing!! They made my first home purchase a smooth and easy process with their attention to detail and professionalism. Salomon took time to educate me, counsel me and at times even provide some much needed therapy as I navigated the wild Los Angeles real estate market. Most importantly, Salomon expressed genuine interest in my objectives and in making sure I put forth the strongest and most competitive offer. His strong network, organization, strategic skills and years of experience made all of the difference - he was literally able to work miracles
