Rebecca Lobo Joins McCue Mortgage as Company Spokesperson

The McCue Mortgage Company is pleased to announce that former University of Connecticut and WNBA basketball star Rebecca Lobo has joined the company as its spokesperson. As McCue Mortgage spokesperson, Ms. Lobo appears in television and radio commercials, and other marketing initiatives.

“During her outstanding undergraduate and professional basketball career, Rebecca Lobo distinguished herself not only with her dedication and work ethic, but also with academic achievement, sportsmanship, and service to her community,” said Bill McCue, President of The McCue Mortgage Company. “We are excited that Rebecca has joined the McCue team in this capacity. We believe Rebecca is a wonderful representative of all of the qualities that we value at McCue Mortgage.”

“Buying a home is a major milestone in life, like becoming a parent. Recently, I have experienced both. When buying a home you want to work with a company you can trust – especially if you’re buying your first home,” said Lobo. “A few months ago my sister purchased a new home, and I advised her to speak with the McCue Mortgage Company. The McCue team really worked hard to find ways to save her money. I am pleased to represent McCue Mortgage, because I believe they truly listen to, and care about, their customers.”
