GSF Mortgage Expands in California With New Branch Manager

Nov 16, 2015

GSF Mortgage has added Marcela Hurtado as branch manager in GSF's Huntington Beach, Calif. office. She held her real estate license for two years and in 1999 was offered a position in the mortgage industry to fill the void of a Spanish-speaking mortgage loan originator. She saw the position as an opportunity to help borrowers better understand the mortgage loan process.

Hurtado plans to service her clients’ needs with the attractive loan products that GSF Mortgage has to offer. On top of that, she delivers responsive service and fast closings.

“I am pleased to welcome Marcela to our family. With her background and knowledge of the industry, we know that she will be a great asset to our team. We are excited to assist her in expanding our footprint in the Western region,” said GSF National Sales Director Mike Maida.

Hurtado is a member of the National Association of Review Appraisers (NARA), Team Referral Network and Orange County Association of Realtors (OCAR).
