We help Fremont buyers and homeowners with jumbo and high-balance purchase loans, refinances and equity lines. First-time homebuyer loans in Fremont include 3 percent down conventional programs, 3.5 percent down FHA loans, zero-down VA and USDA options and CalHFA programs with down payment assistance.

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. The loan program that fits a first-time buyer in Fremont depends on credit score, savings, income and the type of home. FHA is forgiving on credit, conventional loans reward stronger scores with cheaper mortgage insurance, and VA and USDA eliminate the down payment entirely for eligible buyers.
