“Great experience with Ariel for our big bear property! She was so helpful and knowledgeable throughout the process and got us a rock bottom rate. Thanks for everything Ariel!”
Mortgage Loan Officer · Mission Federal Credit Union
I've been working in residential real estate lending for over 10 years, helping home buyers throughout San Diego County find the right mortgage. I enjoy guiding buyers through the loan program details to make sure they're getting the best offer and really understand the process. I don't consider myself a sales person — I know how stressful it can be to navigate through one of the biggest decisions in your life, and I truly care about my client's financial position. Mission Federal Credit Union's dedication to service and low cost is what made me feel comfortable representing them.

“Great experience with Ariel for our big bear property! She was so helpful and knowledgeable throughout the process and got us a rock bottom rate. Thanks for everything Ariel!”
“I've never experienced such amazing service as I have with Ariel Green at Mission Fed. Going through the process of buying a home and getting a loan can be so stressful and depressing but Ariel made it easy and stress free. She handled all of the things I didn't know how to handle and walked us through the process with kindness and patience. If you are looking for the best rates and an easy experience, Ariel is who I recommend and will be using for our next loan whenever that may be. Thanks Mission Fed, Thanks Ariel!”
“We've worked with Ariel twice now through Mission Federal Credit Union to secure financing to buy houses, once in 2017 and again in 2024. I can't say enough good things about Ariel and her underwriters. In both cases, we were under very tight timelines to close (figures in the SD real estate market) and she performed in spades. She was extremely responsive and communicated with us on our preferred method. She made sure that we stayed on top of signing documents so that there wouldn't be a hiccup in the process. The 'normal' lenders will always tell you that credit unions are slow to close. Well, Ariel proved them wrong not once, but twice. Do not hesitate to contact her for your purchasing and refinance needs. Not only does she perform, she is very nice and a pleasure to work with.”
“I had an amazing and positive experience working with Ariel. She was very communicative throughout our loan and pre-approval process last year. She kept me in the loop about the rate changes and also offered various options to evaluate for us. We closed escrow on time and this was one of the easiest loan closings I have seen in the last 2-3 years. Flawless execution! I would highly recommend you to work with Ariel!”
“Ariel absolutely nailed it, it was such a pleasure to work with her, she was always available to answer my questions, made the whole process easy and smooth, I would definitely refer my friends and colleagues to work with Mission Fed in future!”
“Ariel was a total rockstar to work with. From the very beginning, it was clear that Ariel was an extremely experienced loan officer. She ensured the entire experience from start to finish was smooth. Ariel did a great job of communicating throughout the entire loan process. I felt extremely comfortable with my loan in Ariel's hands and had the utmost confidence that she would get this loan closed. If you are looking for a loan officer to purchase a home, look no further. Ariel is the best there is.”
“Working with Ariel was a very positive experience. She is very easy to communicate with. She responded to all of our questions by phone and email. Her team was efficient. They did everything they said they would and we closed escrow in a timely manner.”
“Ariel was always on the ball for us and helped us secure our forever home in a very tricky interest rate environment! She really went above and beyond in terms of availability and making sure she took the time to explain all of our options. Highly recommend!”
“Ariel and her team are amazing. We finally got the offer accepted after numerous tries. I was a little bit worried about things that had to move quickly to meet the tight deadline of the sale contract. However, in a very short time after reaching out to Ariel, she managed everything very smoothly — from processing tons of documents from me and my wife, to catching missing or inconsistent information, to responding quickly to all my concerns and questions. She was able to get our loan application credit approved in just 3 days and get everything done to remove the loan contingency well before the 10-day deadline. As first-time home buyers, we had a lot of questions but Ariel always took time to explain to us in detail, even if it was late at night. We are glad to have Ariel and her team at MFCU to make our dream happen in this tough time when home prices and interest rates are very unaffordable to many people.”
“Ariel was super helpful during the entire process!”
“Ariel was a delight to work with. She was very quick to respond and reliable throughout. I highly recommend her to family and friends.”
“Ariel was the best loan advisor I could have asked for. Super nice and helpful.”
“Mission Federal credit union was a great lender. As a first time buyer they really made the process easy from the online pre-approval to the close of escrow and everything in between. They helped guide me through all the paperwork and requirements throughout the whole process and I am truly appreciative. I spoke with a few lenders before choosing MFCU, but their no pressure, responsive, and friendly associates made the choice easy. I really felt like a person/friend they were trying to help, not just another account. They were really invested in my home buying journey. I'm super grateful to MFCU and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a mortgage (in fact I have). Thanks”
“I worked with Ariel Green who was absolutely fantastic during the pre-approval and loan process. She is responsive, detail oriented, and extremely personable. Ariel made my experience great and I would absolutely recommend Mission Federal Credit Union as a result.”
“Accessible, with useful professional advice.”
“Mission Federal got us the best loan for our situation, and they were able to close quickly so our offer could stand out. We worked with Ariel, who was friendly and helpful, and always available for questions!”
“Very knowledgeable and friendly. Helped with making sure we understood the total costs, our options, and helped us to get the best rate. She also made sure that we had all the necessary requirements while still in the pre-approval phase. Many loan officers don't know or don't inform their clients and confirm all the closing costs and estimated monthly which leads to clients scrambling towards the end of escrow and potentially scrambling to find additional funds that they were not aware of.”
“I was lucky enough to stumble across Mission Fed's information at an open house in May and decided to reach out for more info and became connected with Ariel. From our first conversation until closing today, she was friendly, professional, always available, savvy and without fail delivered on-time. All of our costs came in under estimate and Ariel was fabulous at helping to 'see around the corner' for what was next in the loan process. I can not speak highly enough about Ariel and the entire Mission Federal Credit Union staff I have encountered. Buying a home can be one the most stressful events in life and this was a pleasant process and I now value my relationship with Mission Federal.”
“Ariel and her Team (Eric) from MFCU are absolutely the best. MFCU itself offers the best rate for the 5/5 ARM program for San Diego locals as it is a non-profit financial institution. This is a unique program which has less risk than 5/1 or 7/1 but you can also get a better rate compared to 30 years fixed. The reason for me to chose her was because I had a lot of questions while I was shopping around, she was super patient and quick to respond to my questions and help me even on weekends for my pre-approval letters, she always on top of things. I had 2 failed offers but she never loses her patience on me for the extra work I created for her. In general, I had a very good experience with Ariel and her team (Eric). Highly recommend Ariel, she is so nice, professional, experienced and always here to support you no matter how many questions you might have.”
“Ariel is incredible. Somehow I was blessed with a great agent, but also a great loan officer. On top of the best rates around, all my questions answered - no matter what time. Ariel was always on it and incredibly supportive of our home purchase. There's no way we could have done this without the help of Ariel!”
“I would highly recommend Ariel Green to everyone who wants a loan officer who provides high-quality professional service, quick response, and competitive rates with unique programs. She offers 5/5 ARM and all traditional programs. This 5/5 ARM program is unique and only credit unions provide it. She has all the qualities a great loan officer would need to be at the top of the industry.”
“We were 3000 mi away when we were negotiating to purchase a home and sell our townhouse. No one else would have been as accommodating, patient and knowledgeable with our somewhat complicated situation. Ariel ran numerous sets of numbers and rates and options so we could close on the house before our other sold. She ticked every box as a loan expert!”
“Ariel Green made our purchase happen. We had a 21-day close and they got the loan through ahead of schedule. We couldn't have asked for a nicer person to work with throughout this process.”
“Ariel was fantastic to work with - would highly recommend her services. She got our pre-approval letter completed very quickly, helping us mobilize in time to get our offer in before the competition! We felt extremely comfortable with her guidance throughout the loan process and she was very helpful in answering all of our questions.”
“Ariel is an absolute pro at this stuff. I've never seen anyone be able to get a loan qualified to closed so quickly. She was a great partner every step of the way and I would be so lucky to work with her again!”
“Ariel was incredible to work with. This was quite the lengthy process for us to find a home and she was there with us every step of the way. She provides timely responses and has great insight in the loan process. Mission Fed was a great partner and I would absolutely recommend her.”
“Ariel was very responsive to our questions and provided great service and great rates. We needed a pre-approval right away. She was extremely responsive and got us one ASAP in time to make a competitive offer. The sellers requested a fast closing, and Ariel was able to meet their deadlines. The rates and closing costs were very competitive, especially given the fast closing times Mission Fed can provide.”
“Ariel Green, our loan officer at Mission Fed, has played a key role in helping us get our dream home. Time was of utmost importance in this aggressive seller's market and she was there with us whenever we needed, taking care of things PROMPTLY. In fact the first thing that even got us started on this journey is when she worked on our pre-approval on a weekend even though her kid was having an emergency situation. We are very grateful for what she did that day. Very rarely do people have such a helping instinct! She was there with us every part of our journey answering our questions patiently and promptly over phone via calls and text messages. We would absolutely recommend this amazing team anytime.”
“Went the extra mile. Very happy working with Ariel.”
“Amazing!! We did everything on the computer and over the phone. She answered all my questions and explained everything. Very patient and helpful. She got the job done for us in a very quick escrow timeline.”
“Many realtors and loan specialists will tell you that credit unions are not good to work with (too slow when it comes to closing). All I can say is that Ariel and Mission Fed are absolutely the opposite. Ariel was very patient with me when I first contacted her. Unlike other loan providers, she provided a lot of information upfront. She was also super-responsive to me and my realtor when it came to getting me pre-approved, and was able to close within 21 days. Really appreciated her and her team's work with securing me the loan to make my home purchase. Recommend her highly.”
“She was great, but her associates dropped the ball somewhat towards the end.”
“We just closed on a purchase with Ariel and the MFCU team and everything went as smooth as it could've possibly gone. We met ALL contingency and close dates right on time or sooner. They were efficient, friendly and professional - and all the while when my fiancé and I were out of the country for 2 weeks (half of the escrow period), they were still able to get everything done and have all the docs ready to sign as soon as we returned. She and her team are responsive, thorough and quick to act. I, being a loan officer myself, can recommend Ariel and her team with high marks and gratitude.”
“Ariel is responsive and able to give us a competitive rate, which are the most important things we need from a mortgage agent. Highly recommend.”
“Ariel was fabulous from start to finish. She helped us with our first time home owner nerves and made sure that we knew what was going on every step of the way.”
“Ariel, loan officer at Mission Federal Credit Union, was a delight to work with in the purchase of our home. Among all the people involved with the purchase process, she was one of the few we could count on for timely follow-through. The service we got from big name lenders pale in comparison. While big banks dragged their feet in waiving loan contingencies, Ariel made sure our requests were quickly channeled to the right people to grant those waivers. She was patient and caring throughout the process -- and above all, she was absolutely 100% reliable. I rarely provide personalized reviews, but our great experience with Ariel compels me to write this review. I have no hesitation in recommending Ariel and MFCU to anyone seeking stellar service in acquiring a home loan.”
“Working with Ariel and Mission Fed was great. She was always very friendly, quick and helpful with all of my questions. The whole process was impressively smooth and painless. All docs were signed online or in my own home and there were no hiccups or surprises. We planned on a quick 21 day closing and even had the option to close sooner. I'm very impressed and have already recommended Ariel and Mission Fed to friends. Thanks again for a great experience!”
“Ariel just helped us get pre-approved for a new mortgage (jumbo loan). It was probably the smoothest process we've been through to date! She itemized the paperwork we needed to get to her and had it to underwriting within a day. When she got my voicemail that the price of the property had been raised, she immediately drafted a new approval and sent it our way before we even asked for it so we could be prepared for a counter offer without stressing! Outstanding customer service — pleasant, patient, attentive to details, and very professional. We appreciated her!”
“Ariel and the Mission Fed team were on top of their game during my escrow period. What started as a 30 day escrow accelerated to a 26 day escrow about halfway into the process. They were able to meet our acceleration request even with all of the end of year holidays that typically slow things down. The entire team, and Ariel especially, were very responsive to emails and phone calls.”
