San Jose is the largest city in Northern California and the Santa Clara County seat, a collection of distinct neighborhoods spread across the valley floor from Willow Glen and the Rose Garden to Almaden Valley and Evergreen. We help San Jose buyers, homeowners and investors with conventional, high-balance, jumbo, FHA and VA financing, refinances and equity lines. Getting pre-approved for a home loan in San Jose 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.

San Jose has the widest range of prices in Silicon Valley, from condos and townhomes that fit high-balance conforming and FHA limits to jumbo purchases in Willow Glen, Almaden and Silver Creek. Buyers are typically technology workers with stock and bonus income, and long-time owners sitting on large equity often use HELOCs and cash-out refinances to remodel, add an ADU or help family buy. A strong San Jose pre-approval also lets you write a cleaner offer: a shorter loan contingency, a realistic closing date and confidence that the appraisal and underwriting will go smoothly. We can often close in about three weeks when the file was fully reviewed at pre-approval.

Housing includes 1920s and 30s homes in Willow Glen, the Rose Garden, Naglee Park and Japantown, 1950s to 70s ranch homes in Cambrian, Blossom Valley and Berryessa, larger homes in Almaden Valley, Evergreen and Silver Creek, and condos and high-rises downtown and near Santana Row. The pre-approval process for San Jose buyers starts online or by phone, with no credit pull at the first step. Once we talk through your goals, we collect documents through a secure portal, review the file and issue a letter, usually within one to two business days. Letters are updated for each offer you write.
A pre-approval is typically valid for 60 to 90 days, and we refresh it as needed while you search in San Jose. If rates or guidelines change, you will hear it from us first, along with what it means for your budget.
We help borrowers with home loan pre-approval throughout San Jose, including Willow Glen, Rose Garden, Almaden Valley, Evergreen, and across Silicon Valley. San Jose is a little over two hours from our Gold River office, and we handle San Jose loans by phone, email and e-signature.
