Petaluma is a southern Sonoma County river town on Highway 101 with one of the best-preserved historic downtowns in California and streets of Victorian homes on its west side. We help Petaluma buyers and homeowners with conventional, jumbo, FHA and VA financing, refinances and equity lines. VA loans are the strongest home financing benefit available to those who have served, and Pacific National Lending makes sure Petaluma veterans get the full value of it: no down payment, competitive rates, no monthly mortgage insurance and limits on the closing costs a veteran can be charged.

Petaluma is popular with Marin and San Francisco commuters who want more space and small-town character, so well-kept homes draw multiple offers and most purchases need high-balance or jumbo financing. The west side's older homes can raise condition questions on appraisal, while the east side's newer subdivisions are straightforward for every loan program. Some Petaluma sellers and agents still misunderstand VA loans, so we work with your real estate agent to make the offer as strong as possible: a fully underwritten pre-approval, realistic timelines and clear communication about the VA appraisal and minimum property requirements.

Housing includes Victorians and Craftsman homes around D Street and the Oakhill-Brewster district, 1970s to 2000s subdivisions across East Petaluma, golf-course homes at Adobe Creek, and country properties on the roads west of town. VA loans can be used more than once, and remaining entitlement can even allow a veteran who already owns a VA-financed home to buy another in Petaluma. We review your entitlement and explain exactly what you can do with it.
