What California Borrowers Say About Us
How It Works
It takes minutes to complete our online application to get prequalified for a loan.
After underwriting your loan, we will provide you a written Loan Commitment providing loan terms for approval.
In a matter of days, not weeks like most lenders, the loan is funded through escrow and funds wired to you directly.
You make monthly payments via mail, phone or direct deposit. It’s that easy.
