If you see a home you like, claim it. Then call The Fuentes Group and make it yours. In February 2022, I brought my partner and kid to the United States and showed them around my hometown. We spent our first day touring new homes and I told them to pick a room and make it theirs. We snapped pictures like we lived in the house of our choice. My aunt and uncle let us stay in their home rent free with no expiration date. I told them in a year we would be out. They insisted we could stay as long as we needed to and kept us fed. Still, "free rent" is still rent and renting is no fun. The home market was unreal in that first half of 2022. I had no idea how I'd pull it off, but I wanted to give my family the best. A new home builder wouldn't give us the time of day unless we got pre-approved with their in-house lender. Flooded with business, they eventually stopped returning my calls. Two of my friends with big, beautiful houses told me I would never get approved. One told me to save up a huge downpayment and take an ugly high interest loan. The other went so far as to bet me $10,000 it couldn't be done. Just when I was ready to give up, a friend in the industry connected me with Sophia. Finally, I had a judgement-free zone. She said my situation was nothing to worry about because they had tons of resources. After collecting our information, The Fuentes Group got to work. I wanted to teach my family the power of manifestation so day after day I drove back to the neighborhood like we lived there. I walked the park like it was mine. Sometimes when heading home I would stop by the house and pull up to the garage like I was home. Some people teased me when they heard about this. "The house isn't yours yet. Why are you going there?" The truth is, Sophia and Henrik were making it happen. We heard the word "no" a lot. I had NO job in the US. My partner had NO social security number. We had NO co-signer. Still, I kept visiting that house. We went at least 100 times. Whatever Sophia and Henrik said had the builder finally taking us seriously. We were suddenly the most attractive buyers in their book. Our offer was accepted and followed by huge discounts. Then one day, it happened, just like Sophia and Henrik said it would. We were approved, ready to fund, and only needed to sign a stack of documents. Henrik sent a mobile notary at 7 PM and by the next day at 4 PM we had keys to a brand-new home in our hands. Best of all, I was able to keep my promise to my family: we had our own home in under a year. If someone tells you it can't be done, call Sophia Fuentes and get it done. read more

Okay honestly Sophia should go down in HISTORY. I don't know where she came from or who trained her but everyone deserves an award! Without slandering others Sophia came in and SAVED THE DAY. We came to her in escrow and our situation was a disaster to say the least. Not to mention I was a complete basket case. I had direct contact with her, she answered every call and text message! Not only was she patient with my 27 different emotions, and 10,000 questions, she was so hard working. Meeting all deadlines and completely sticking to her word. Would I recommend her?? YEP!! Over and over again! Thanks Sophia!! read more

Sophia & her team from Financial Services Mortgage Lenders. They are amazing team of professional who can pull impossible. I worked directly with Sophia her work ethics commitment to client and services is beyond exceptions. My journey started with Sophia, I already had approved loan with high interest rate and high down payment. She took my case work hours on phone with me, some time starting 5.30 am to work with banks, paypal to clear bad payment history. We got my credit score quicky up. I don't have to pay for credit repair. This deal was full of challenges, later we run into tax problem with my CPA , she worked with my CPA to get tax relief using her knowledge and experience saved 25K on taxes and find a solution to get my loan approved using just one year's tax return. We also got my mortgage rate reduce 0.45 %. This deal was unique with solar company involved She was able to work with solar company to speed up transfer process. She also works with escrow to make sure every paperwork , homeowner insurance , home warranty, all the paperwork is done properly. My deal was impossible with Sophia leading my case. There are no words to describe the professional service and ethics she brings into this field. I worked with her close to two months, I describe her warrior mind set with kind heart to service others. I already referred her one of my friends as her new client. THANKS SOPHIA YOU ARE AWSOME. read more

Contact Sophia for your lending needs she is amazing and you won't be sorry! Thanks Sophia! read more

If I could give Sofia more than 5 stars I definitely would! It was our first time purchasing a home and what I thought was going to be the hardest part (bank situation) was the least stressful. From the first time that we spoke to Sofia we knew she meant business! She's very knowledgeable, easy to get contact. We didnt have to wait days or hours to speak with her. I HIGHLY recommend Sofia and her team. read more

TLDR: I'm paying 25% less on my mortgage this month, and I didn't have to do anything but call Sophia. Backstory: my spouse and I bought a house a few years ago, and Sophia was the "mortgage person" (I don't know the lingo) who saved the day. Then, you know, life happened. Spouse and I moved in, had a baby...fast forward a few years...pandemic...blah blah...and everyone is talking about how interest rates are historically low. I'm like, whatevs, I have an infant, I'm trying to work full time, it's a pandemic, and who has time for a refi when I would practically sign over my deed for 10 minutes to take a relaxing/uninterrupted shower. But on a whim I sent a quick message to Sophia: "would it make sense for me to refi?" I got a quick message back....and, in short order....I'm somehow now paying $1,000 less per month on my mortgage? I cannot stress this enough: If this had taken any effort on my part, it would not have happened. I'm not lazy - just, when you have babies/jobs/pandemics...you can't deal with BS. Sophia makes it easy. No BS. We closed quickly. Like, days, start to finish. Seriously the easiest money I've saved in my life. read more

I don't often take the time to write reviews but in this case I felt it was important. Sophia is not only an amazing loan agent, she exudes professionalism and truly exhibits an honest love for her clients. My husband and I just bought our first home, we have a 4 year old and we are expecting our 2nd child in August. Initially I was very skeptical going into purchasing a home with so much happening in my personal life. Looking back now, it was the best decision we could have made because Sophia made the process so easy and stress free. She literally took care of every single detail for us. Further, our Realtor Maria was just as amazing as Sophia, they are the best team I've ever worked with. Both of them knew exactly what we as their client needed. I can't say enough good things about this duo, they are amazing! If you want to purchase a home, refinance, lower the terms of your loan, or all of the above call Sophia I promise, you will not be disappointed. My family has all used her and I have to say she is the best reference I have ever received. We own our first home all because of Sophia and Maria. Now our little ones can have a place to grow and make memories to last us a lifetime. Thank you to the entire Fuentes Group. read more

Sophia and her team are amazing! Sophia recently help my wife and I refinance our house and in short the service they provide is "Exceptional". They communicated every step of the way, they provided the best options available for us and provided recommendations, but never pushed!!! The transaction was effortless! Henrik had all the paperwork in order and provided updates throughout the entire process. Once all the docs were ready for signatures, Maria (notary) was super accommodating and knowledgeable. If you need a refi or want to see where you are at reach out to Sophia, you will not regret it!!! Sophia, thank you again for everything! My wife and I wish all the best! Happy holidays. -Tony & Erika- read more

We could not have picked a better team to buy our first home with. Sophia was always available to answer every single one of our questions and explained everything perfectly.

Even during a pandemic they made the process as smooth as possible. We can't thank you enough and will 100% recommend to our friends and family. read more

Sophia and the Fuentes Group were absolutely AWESOME! It was my first time buying a home and of course had a bazillion and one too many questions. But she always took the time to answer every single one of them and NEVER be littled me or made me feel as a bother. She educated me, thoroughly explained and I appreciate her for that. She really made it happen for us! I called her on a holiday weekend on a Saturday evening and told her I found a house I wanted to place on offer on by Tuesday before noon! And this girl made it happen! I completely trusted her and she guided me every step of the way. The whole process was easy and smooth. I thought it was going to be more of a headache just hearing about how stressful escrow is through other people, but it was pretty stress free with The Fuentes Group. I'd definitely recommend her to anybody and everbody! She's so positive, professional, approachable, knowledgeable and most importantly she's REAL. If you're looking... I think you just found your girl! read more
