Fremont is the East Bay's gateway to Silicon Valley, a large city formed from five historic towns beneath Mission Peak, with BART service and a major base of technology and advanced-manufacturing jobs. We help Fremont buyers and homeowners with jumbo and high-balance purchase loans, refinances and equity lines. Many Fremont buyers have the income to afford a monthly mortgage payment but not the savings for a down payment and closing costs. Down payment assistance programs exist for exactly that gap, and Pacific National Lending works with CalHFA-participating lenders on the programs most Fremont buyers use.

Fremont's buyers are overwhelmingly technology professionals, and demand is strongest in the Mission San Jose school attendance area, where prices rival the Peninsula. Jumbo loans are standard, stock compensation and recent job changes need to be documented carefully, and many households purchase with gift funds or family co-borrowers, all of which we structure regularly. Beyond CalHFA, Fremont buyers may have access to local programs through the county, the city or housing agencies, plus lender-funded grants and employer assistance. Programs open and close as funding changes, so we check availability at the time you are ready to buy.

Housing includes 1950s to 70s ranch homes in Centerville, Irvington and Glenmoor, historic cottages in Niles, larger homes in the Mission San Jose hills, planned neighborhoods in Ardenwood, and new townhomes and condos near the Warm Springs BART station. Assistance loans add a few steps to the closing, such as program approval and homebuyer education, and we manage all of them. Most Fremont purchases using CalHFA assistance close in about 30 to 35 days, and we set expectations with your agent and the seller from the start.
Assistance can often be combined with seller credits and lender credits, so an Fremont first-time buyer may bring very little to closing. We structure the offer with your agent so the seller's contribution covers what the program does not.
We help borrowers with down payment assistance throughout Fremont, including Mission San Jose, Niles, Centerville, Irvington, and across the East Bay. Fremont is roughly two hours from our Gold River office, and our Fremont clients work with us by phone, email and secure e-signature.
