Oakland is the Alameda County seat and the largest city in the East Bay, running from the Lake Merritt waterfront and Jack London Square up through Rockridge and Montclair into the redwood-covered hills. We help Oakland buyers, homeowners and investors with FHA, conventional, jumbo and multi-unit financing. As a mortgage broker near Oakland, our job is to work for you, not for a bank. Broker Jason Skelton and our loan officers compare rates and guidelines from many lenders on every file, so Oakland borrowers see options a single retail lender or big bank simply cannot offer. We are licensed by the California Department of Real Estate (DRE #01778208) and registered with NMLS (#115924).

Oakland is really a collection of very different markets: first-time buyers using FHA and conventional loans in the flatlands, heavy competition and overbidding for Craftsman homes in Rockridge, Temescal and Glenview, and jumbo loans for view homes in the hills. Duplexes, triplexes and condos are a large share of sales, so rental income rules and condo project approval come up on many files, as does wildfire insurance in the hills. In the Oakland market, the difference between a broker and a big bank shows up at the offer stage. A fully underwritten pre-approval from PNL tells the listing agent that the buyer's income, assets and credit have already been reviewed, which makes an offer far more competitive than a pre-qualification letter based on a phone call.
