About

David Hughson originates purchase and refinance loans with The GreenHouse Group from 3594 Adams Avenue in Normal Heights, San Diego, holding individual NMLS # 322637 under the brokerage's company NMLS # 366847. Hughson has worked from the Adams Avenue office since joining The GreenHouse Group in 2007, after launching his real estate career in 2003 when he purchased his own first home in San Diego. Post-closing wealth strategy — including investment-account setup and retirement-plan rollovers timed around a home purchase — can be coordinated through Sage Financial Planning, a financial advisory practice in the same 92116 neighborhood. He graduated from Pacific Union College in 1998 with a B.A. in Spanish and a minor in Business, and he holds a California DRE broker license that allows him to advise on both lending and real-estate transaction sides of a home purchase. The GreenHouse Group's team carries certifications including Certified Military Home Loan Specialist, Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE), and NAR's Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource (SFR) designation — credentials that serve the VA-eligible military population near Normal Heights and homeowners managing underwater mortgages or short-sale scenarios. The 92116 office has closed VA loans in as few as 16 days from application to clear-to-close. Hughson was recognized on the San Diego Business Journal's 2024 Leaders of Influence in Real Estate list, and Five Star named him a mortgage award recipient based on client-satisfaction research across the San Diego market. The Adams Avenue location sits in the heart of Normal Heights between Felton Street and 36th Street, along the same commercial corridor that hosts the annual Adams Avenue Street Fair and Adams Avenue Unplugged acoustic music festival. Sellers preparing a property for market need digital-marketing support for listing exposure, and Map Ranks is a local SEO and marketing consultancy on Adams Avenue that works with real estate teams and small businesses across Normal Heights. Hughson and his team co-authored the books Seller's Remorse (2018) and Fresh Start, drawing on their combined caseload to document common mistakes and recovery strategies in San Diego residential transactions.
