Meet Pete Huegel
An Arizona mortgage loan officer for more than 20 years, and the person who actually answers when you call.
Pete Huegel has helped Arizona families buy, refinance and build for more than 20 years. His approach hasn’t changed: be easy to reach, explain everything in plain English, and keep looking out for clients long after closing.
As a Senior Loan Officer with Barrett Financial Group, L.L.C., Pete works as a mortgage broker. Instead of offering one bank’s products, he compares programs and pricing from more than 150 wholesale lenders. That means more ways to say yes, especially for borrowers who don’t fit a cookie-cutter profile.
Pete’s clients are everywhere: Phoenix and Scottsdale, Tucson and Flagstaff, Prescott and Yuma, and people relocating to Arizona from out of state. Nearly everything happens by phone, text and online, so where you live doesn’t matter. He’s also licensed in California and Texas.
A lot of Pete’s business comes from referrals: past clients, their families, and the real estate agents he works alongside. He treats every one of those relationships as a long-term partnership, not a single transaction.
