Richmond wraps around thirty-two miles of San Francisco Bay shoreline in west Contra Costa County, with BART, a ferry to San Francisco and neighborhoods as different as historic Point Richmond and the waterfront homes of Marina Bay. We help Richmond buyers, homeowners and investors with FHA, VA, conventional and jumbo financing. Getting pre-approved for a home loan in Richmond tells you exactly how much home you can afford, what your monthly payment will look like and which loan program fits, before you fall in love with a house. It takes a short application and a handful of documents, and there is no obligation.

Richmond remains one of the most affordable places to buy near the center of the Bay Area, so it draws first-time buyers using FHA and low-down-payment conventional loans, along with investors buying two-to-four-unit properties. Many homes date from the 1920s through the 1940s, which makes property condition, appraisal repairs and renovation-friendly financing common topics. In the Richmond market, a pre-qualification based on a phone conversation is not enough. Listing agents want to see that a lender has reviewed pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements and credit, and that the buyer is approved subject only to the property. That is what a PNL pre-approval delivers.

Housing includes early-1900s homes in Point Richmond, 1920s to 40s bungalows in the North and East neighborhood and the Richmond Annex, condos and townhomes at Marina Bay and Brickyard Cove, and 1970s and 80s homes around Hilltop. We stay involved after the letter is issued. When you find a home in Richmond, we update the pre-approval to the exact price and terms, talk through the offer strategy with your agent, and lock the rate as soon as the contract is signed.
