Process

How I work — call to keys.

Five steps from the first phone call to the wire. Every one of them runs through me directly — not a queue, not a portal, not a junior processor.

01

The 15-minute call

You tell me about the deal — property, income, timeline, credit range. Five questions, roughly 15 minutes. I'll tell you whether the loan closes, what the rate and payment look like, and which program fits. If it's not going to close, I'll tell you that too.

02

Scenario match

I shop across my wholesaler panel — conventional, FHA, VA, jumbo, non-QM bank statement, DSCR, SBA — and pull 2–3 live rate quotes side by side. You see the math, not just the marketing number.

03

Pre-qualification letter

Within 24 hours of a complete scenario, you have a written pre-qual letter your listing agent will actually respect — based on a reviewed scenario, not an automated form. It signals seriousness; it isn't a commitment to lend, and full approval still runs through underwriting and verified docs.

04

Underwriting, concierge

Once under contract, I run the file end-to-end — no handoff to a junior processor. Every condition, every update, every missed appraisal window: handled directly. You get status by text, not a portal nobody reads.

05

Funding day

Your rate is locked. Conditions are cleared. Docs are signed. The wire goes out. You get the keys. No last-minute surprises, no missed closing dates — because problems were flagged on day one, not day thirty.

Differentiation

Why borrowers choose a broker over a retail lender.

I answer my phone

(213) 880-8107 rings to me. No queue, no SDR, no virtual assistant. In a closing? I text back within the hour.

I show the math

You see the rate sheet, the wholesaler comparison, and where my comp comes from. Transparency, not trickery.

Broker, not lender

A lender has one set of guidelines. I shop a panel — your scenario matches the program, not the other way around.

No over-promise

I won't quote a rate I can't deliver at lock. If your loan doesn't pencil, I'll tell you why and what would fix it.

My Guarantees

What I commit to — every deal.

These aren't marketing slogans. They're the commitments I make to every borrower, every deal. If I don't deliver, you'll know before I do.

I answer — or text back within the hour

(213) 880-8107 rings to me directly. No queue, no SDR, no "someone from our team will reach out." If I'm in a closing, I text back inside 60 minutes during business hours.

Straight pricing — no surprise at lock

If my scenario quote was based on accurate information and the market hasn't moved by lock, you get the number we discussed. If it changes, I show you exactly why before you decide. I won't quote a rate I can't stand behind.

If it doesn't close, you pay nothing

No junk fees. No application fee. No commitment fee. If I can't get the loan to the finish line, you owe me exactly zero.

Pre-qual letter within 24 hours

Submit a complete scenario and you'll have a written pre-qualification letter within one business day — based on a reviewed scenario, not an automated form. It's a credible signal to a listing agent, not a commitment to lend; full approval is subject to underwriting, verified documents, and appraisal.

If I'm not the right broker, I'll tell you

If your scenario doesn't fit my panel — wrong geography, wrong product type, or a better specialist exists — I'll refer you directly. No ego, no games.

Full transparency on comp

You see the wholesaler rate sheet, the comparison, and where my compensation comes from. I don't hide the math — I show it.

These commitments govern how I work — not loan approval. All loans are subject to credit approval, income and asset verification, and appraisal. Not a commitment to lend.

Frequently Asked

Yes.

Residential: Conventional agency (Fannie / Freddie), government (FHA, VA, USDA), jumbo and super jumbo, non-QM alt-doc programs (bank statement, 1099, P&L, asset qualifier, ITIN, foreign national), and investor financing (DSCR, fix & flip, bridge, construction). Commercial: commercial real estate loans and SBA financing (SBA 7(a), 504, agency multifamily, NNN credit-tenant), arranged by Francisco directly under his CA DRE broker license.
What's his NMLS ID and how can I verify his license?

Ready when you are

Tell me about the deal.

15 minutes. Five questions. A real answer. If the loan closes, I'll tell you how. If it doesn't, I'll tell you that too — and what would change it.
