Juan Fleitas is an established loan officer of 19 years whose clients feel comfortable coming back to me for answers and advice. When you choose me and my team, your mortgage intentions will be met with a listening ear and a comprehensive understanding of your specific circumstances. I offer a wide range of home loan programs. My goal is to advise you about your home financing options while educating you about the loan process from start to finish. I am a Board Member for The Hills Chamber. It gives me great satisfaction in giving back by participating and planning our community events throughout the year. Being involved these past years, but especially the last couple of tough years, has shown me the heart and passion of our community. There have been so many new professionals to the Chamber volunteering to be involved and willing to help those in need. I look forward to dedicating more time with the Chamber to help home owners, residents and small businesses.
