Sonoma is the historic heart of the Sonoma Valley, built around the eight-acre Sonoma Plaza and the last of the California missions, with vineyards beginning at the edge of town. We help Sonoma buyers and homeowners with conventional, jumbo, second-home and reverse mortgage financing. Reverse mortgages have changed a great deal, and today's FHA-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) includes consumer protections, required counseling and non-recourse terms. Pacific National Lending walks Sonoma homeowners and their adult children through the details step by step.

Sonoma attracts Bay Area second-home buyers, retirees and wine-industry locals, and most purchases near the Plaza reach jumbo loan amounts. Second-home and vacation-rental rules change the down payment and the way income is counted, and the valley's 55-plus communities create steady interest in reverse mortgages and downsizing loans. To qualify for a reverse mortgage in Sonoma, the youngest borrower must be at least 62, the home must be your primary residence and you need enough equity to pay off any existing mortgage from the proceeds. Lenders also verify that you can keep paying property taxes, homeowners insurance and any HOA dues.

Housing includes historic bungalows and farmhouses on the east side near the Plaza, mid-century and newer homes on the west side, the Temelec 55-plus community, cottages in Boyes Hot Springs and El Verano, and vineyard estates toward Glen Ellen and the Carneros. Our reverse mortgage process in Sonoma begins with an honest conversation about whether it is the right tool, and sometimes it is not. If a reverse mortgage fits, we help schedule the required HUD counseling session, order the appraisal and guide you through closing, usually in four to six weeks.
Common reasons Sonoma homeowners choose a reverse mortgage include paying off an existing mortgage, funding in-home care, delaying Social Security, covering a large repair or simply creating a reserve for peace of mind. The right reason is the one that fits your plan.
Our a reverse mortgage clients in Sonoma come from Sonoma Plaza, Eastside Sonoma, Westside Sonoma, Temelec and every other part of the Sonoma Valley. Sonoma is about an hour and a half from our Gold River office via I-80 and Highway 12.
