SAN DIEGO, May 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- BluFi Lending, a direct lender for home loans, announces the new hire of Benjamin Lee as Branch Manager, and the opening of its newest San Diego office in the Scripps community.

The new office, located at 9909 Mira Mesa Blvd., will cater to clients in the Mira Mesa, Scripps Ranch, Poway, and other nearby communities. The office opens with a staff of five including mortgage loan officers and support staff, but Lee expects to add six more new hires by the end of the year. Lee, a bilingual Korean American mortgage banker well known in the Asian community, has also hired bilingual employees to offer multi-lingual services at the new office.
"I had heard some great things about BluFi Lending, but meeting the CEO John Lee was what really sealed the deal for me because he gave me insight into what a sophisticated and successful company BluFi is," said Benjamin Lee. "John's passion, vision, and ambition are infectious, and I was eager to take on the role of Branch Manager because that is a challenge I've never tackled before. John and BluFi have brought great opportunities to me, now I want to do the same for our clients."
Lee was recently awarded the 2013 Five Star Mortgage Professional award from San Diego Magazine and Five Star Professional. Based on consumer surveys sent to more than 20,800 households, award winners make up less than 7 percent of the mortgage professionals in the San Diego area. Lee is eager to transition from loan originator into the managerial role to cultivate a strong, service-oriented team for BluFi Lending.
In addition to growing the new Scripps branch, Benjamin Lee will also focus on growing BluFi Lending's name recognition by volunteering for community organizations such as the Pacific Arts Movement and sharing information about the company's exceptional service standards. BluFi's new 21 Day Closing Guarantee has already been well-received by his consumer clients and their real estate professionals.
"Benjamin is a great asset to the BluFi family, and our new Scripps branch is the perfect office for him to manage," said John Lee, BluFi Lending president and CEO. "We recognize BluFi serves diverse communities, and Benjamin and his team are well-equipped to provide bilingual services to clients that may prefer to do business in their native language. This is another way that BluFi is meeting the demand for full-service home lending. Our 21 Day Closing Guarantee ensures we are fast, and our talented and diverse teams ensure we are responsive to our clients' needs."
