The additions are a result of increased demand from San Diego area consumers and real estate professionals for low home loan rates combined with quick closings. The new office is located at 1450 Frazee Road, Suite 301 in Mission Valley, San Diego.

BluFi added 10 new staff members for the office, including management, back office, and sales positions such as loan officers. The company is accepting applications for retail mortgage bankers and an underwriter. Interested parties should see the company's recruitment site at http://bluficareers.com.
