Palo Alto is the birthplace of Silicon Valley, a leafy city next to Stanford University with a walkable University Avenue downtown and some of the most valuable residential streets in the country. We help Palo Alto buyers and homeowners with jumbo and super-jumbo purchase loans, refinances and equity financing. Pacific National Lending is an independent mortgage broker serving Palo Alto from our office in Gold River. Instead of selling one bank's products, we shop your loan across multiple wholesale lenders and match you with the program, rate and terms that fit, whether that is a conventional purchase loan, FHA, VA, jumbo, a refinance or an investment property loan.

Palo Alto purchases routinely require loan amounts well beyond ordinary jumbo limits, and buyers are often founders, executives, physicians and professors with stock-heavy compensation or substantial assets. Qualifying on restricted stock, business income or asset-based programs takes a broker with access to many jumbo lenders, which is exactly how we work. In the Palo Alto 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.

Housing includes historic homes in Professorville, Old Palo Alto and Crescent Park, bungalows in College Terrace and Downtown North, mid-century Eichler homes in Greenmeadow and Midtown, and larger lots in Barron Park. Every Palo Alto loan at Pacific National Lending starts with a real conversation about your goals, followed by a review of your income, assets and credit. From there we present two or three loan structures with actual numbers, lock the rate when it makes sense, and keep you updated at each milestone through funding. Most purchase loans close in about three weeks.
