Her professionalism is top-tier, but what really sets her apart is the way she builds relationships. Julie brings a rare mix of creativity, energy, and genuine care to her clients. People don't just feel "handled"...they feel understood, supported, and confidently guided through what can be a very complex process. She's honest, communicative, and relentlessly hardworking. You always know where things stand, and you always feel like you have a true advocate in your corner. If you're a first-time buyer, especially, Julie is a no-brainer. She has the ability to simplify the process, remove the stress, and actually make it an enjoyable experience.

Julie and her team are hands down the best. From the very beginning, they were incredibly…read moreresponsive, easy to approach, and made us feel completely comfortable discussing our budget and finances. There were many times we felt like we were asking "silly" questions because of all the mortgage jargon, but her team always took the time to explain everything clearly and made the process feel simple. Beyond their great communication, Julie guided us through a fast 21-day escrow that successfully closed--something we truly appreciated. This team doesn't mess around; they genuinely work in your best interest and go above and beyond to get the best outcome. Even after closing on our home, Julie continues to be just as responsive and helpful, answering our questions and proactively guiding us as we start thinking about refinancing. The Aragon Lending Team is always three steps ahead. It was such a pleasure working with this team during one of the biggest milestones of our lives. Thank you all so much!

The number on the site is apparently NOT the correct number to call for debit card fraud list and stolen. They said they ordered me a new card and there weeks later said it was never ordered. Then they "expeditted" me a card and that also never came. No one at the branch ever answers the phone. I call the member services who say they have to call someone at the branch who NEVER answer the phone. This place has gone so sour!!! I'm going to be closing my account with them. I've been a member for over a decade and this saddens me greatly that this place went so bad.

We started conversations with Andre about a year before we were ready to purchase and we talked with him periodically throughout that time about the market conditions and reassessing our finances. He and his team were available every step of the way. Andre was very patient with us as we had many questions during the process. He and his team often checked in with us to see how the process was going and Andre was able to find us the best rate in a very competitive market which we were very thankful for! I would highly recommend Andre for your mortgage needs!

To be honest, I rarely expect "good" service in general from any business, let alone outstanding service. Which is why Andre's approach is an absolute delight. During the pandemic, his team made everything as easy and safe as could be. Andre sent us video messages to explain things that may have been a bit more complex than an email would support (which was fantastic!) and his team is totally responsive. Our family situation is a bit complex and chaotic due to a loved one with significant care needs, so we aren't the most self sufficient and accessible clients on earth. The extra touch that Andre was willing to provide made all the difference in the world to us. If you are looking for great service with a smile, that is Andre and his team.

In the real estate business, it is so important to have a team of professionals you can trust and rely on, and Fernando is definitely one of them. Thanks Fernando!

I understand that members can opt out by February, but why, in this day and age with all the online scams that exist, are we putting a price on members financial security? That seems unfair, especially knowing that we are more than likely going to see some weird things happen with finances and prices in 2025. $10 a month is nearly as much as what most Banks charge at a basic level. The fact that current members are being forced into ProtectPlus instead being allowed to opt into it on their own accord is very weird.This is such an inappropriate time to implement something like this, especially knowing that this institution has been opened for nearly 85 years and some people have probably been clients for that long. I'm also concerned as to why this choice has not been advertised CLEARLY and UPFRONT sooner to current members. I only recently found out within the last week from a piece of mail of all things, that the ProtectPlus will be pushed onto members, and we have the option to opt out of it by February 1st. Why are we just being notified now and not like 6 months ago? There's no way this new plan was just put into fruition within the last few weeks, and there's no way that in this day in age Kinecta couldn't have sent out an automated text to all members explaining exactly what this was going to be about. Email, apps, and texts exist- so why am I receiving a letter about this? Not to mention, why is this even happening at the expense of the customer? Post update to the response: I appreciate the fast response. I'm well aware I can opt out of the checking account, I blatantly and clearly already said that in my post. This post is more about the nature and implementation of this new checking account and how it's being forced onto clients instead of giving them the option to opt into it. It is sneaky, and I'm sure a lot of clients will be taken off guard by it and not realize it's been implemented and they will be unwillingly paying fees to Kinecta that they weren't aware of. It also goes against the "no fee" services Credit Unions tend to provide compared to banks. I hope those points will be taken into consideration as Kinecta moves forward with this new Checking Account.

Thankfully, Anouheh and her team made what seemed impossible, possible. Her assistant, Kasey was incredibly detailed and thorough, making sure I had every document I needed, which gave me peace of mind throughout the process. Anh later joined and was able to find ways to quality for more once I found the home. He helped push everything forward to the finish line and was always in close communication. The team really listened to my goals and went above and beyond to make it happen. They were able to finalize financing in nearly 14 days from the start of escrow. The value of working with this team was clear: they delivered speed, expertise, and trust at every step. They were also very personable and I know I will be using them again in the future. I highly recommend! I'm beyond grateful for their professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication. If you're looking for a lender who truly cares and delivers results, I highly recommend Anouheh, Anh, Kasey and the rest of the team.
