Hernandez

Born and raised in San Diego, specifically a proud Chula Vista local, Leslie Hernandez brings deep community roots and years of industry experience to the mortgage lending space. Her journey began at just 16 years old as a mortgage loan processor, where she quickly developed a passion for solving complex scenarios and helping families navigate the home financing process.

Now based in Eastlake, CA, Leslie lives with her fiancé and their dog, balancing a successful career with her love of baseball games, hiking, fitness, and family time. Her commitment to service, combined with a sharp understanding of lending guidelines and market trends, makes her a trusted advisor for homebuyers across California and beyond.

Coming from a family deeply rooted in the mortgage industry, Leslie learned firsthand from one of the best — her mother, Maricruz, a respected and seasoned loan processor with over 25 years of experience. This foundation allowed Leslie to grow from being a personal loan officer assistant to some of San Diego's top-producing loan officers, to becoming a licensed loan officer herself at the age of 18!

Whether you're a first-time homebuyer, seasoned investor, or looking to refinance, Leslie takes pride in customizing each loan strategy to fit your specific goals — ensuring a smooth, transparent, and successful experience from application to closing. Here at Loan Goat she is here to help you every step of the way!
