We help Brentwood buyers and homeowners with conventional, jumbo, VA and FHA financing, plus reverse mortgages for the city's large 55-plus population. Saving 20 percent for a home in Brentwood can take years, and most buyers do not need to.

Brentwood draws East Bay families seeking newer, larger homes at lower prices than central Contra Costa, along with retirees moving into Summerset and Trilogy at the Vineyards. Many purchases reach jumbo levels, and the active-adult communities create steady demand for reverse mortgage and downsizing financing. Conventional 3 percent down programs like HomeReady and Home Possible offer reduced mortgage insurance for moderate-income Brentwood buyers, and standard conventional loans allow 3 to 5 percent down with private mortgage insurance that can be canceled once you reach 20 percent equity.
