Felipe SalgadoReal Estate & Mortgage Professional
California Realtor + Mortgage Loan Officer

Your home and your loan — one trusted guide.

I'm Felipe Salgado. A home is the biggest decision most people ever make — yet buyers and sellers get passed back and forth between a real estate agent and a loan officer. You ask your agent a simple question and hear, "let me check with the lender." It's already hard enough to explain your goals to one person and have them truly understand you — now imagine getting two people to picture the same thing, two people who only talk to each other when there's a deal on the table. That gap is exactly why I do what I do. Licensed in both real estate and lending, I'm the one person who sees your whole picture — the home and the financing, together — so the questions that matter get one clear, honest answer instead of a game of telephone. That's how you move forward sure of your decision, not second-guessing it.

Why I Do Both

I've been on your side of the table.

I didn't come to this from a textbook — I came to it as a buyer. After purchasing several homes of my own, I kept hitting the same wall: passed back and forth between the realtor and the lender because no single person could give me a straight answer.

The two weren't always on the same page. Sometimes one was available and the other wasn't. I'd explain what I was trying to accomplish to one, then repeat the whole thing to the other — and half the time, something I'd shared with both only reached one of them. When I'd ask, they didn't know what was going on. Timelines slipped because one side was always waiting on the other.

So I fixed it the only real way I could — by getting licensed in both. When you work with me, there's no gap to fall through. Just one person who has your full story and gives you answers you can count on.

What that means for you
✓
You never repeat yourselfI already know your goals — the home side and the loan side are the same conversation.
✓
One point of contactNo chasing two calendars or wondering who actually has the answer.
✓
Nothing lost in translationWhat you tell me is understood on both sides — because they're the same side.
✓
No stalled timelinesThere's no "waiting on the other." I move the home and the financing forward together.
The Difference

One expert, not two middlemen

Same goal either way — a home you love and a loan that fits. Here's how the experience actually changes.

The usual wayA separate agent and lender
✕You explain your goals twice — to two different people
✕Two calendars to chase for one simple answer
✕Details get lost in the hand-off between them
✕Timelines stall while one waits on the other
✕No single person sees your whole picture
With meOne licensed Realtor + Loan Officer
✓Tell your story once — I already have both sides
✓One point of contact, one number to call
✓Nothing lost in translation — it's all me
✓The home and the loan move forward together
✓One person accountable from first call to keys
Hands-On Experience

I've been in the walls, not just the listings.

Before I ever wrote a contract, I was fixing and flipping homes myself — and not by hiring it all out. I've done the work with my own hands, so I understand the construction side of a home, not just the paint on top.

That changes everything when I walk a property with you. I can spot the red flags most agents miss, give you a real sense of what a renovation actually costs, and see the potential others overlook. And when it's time to negotiate, I'm not guessing — I know what's behind the price, so I can fight for you with facts instead of hoping for the best.

Truth is, I fell in love with this. Turning a house into something better — and feeling what it means to own it — is exactly why I got my real estate license: so I could help other people feel what I felt when I bought my first home.

What I Do

Both sides of your move, handled

Most people need two professionals — an agent and a lender — who don't talk to each other. With me, it's one licensed expert on both. Fewer surprises, tighter timelines, and a real advocate the whole way.

🏡

Buy a Home

As your Realtor, I help you find the right home at the right price and negotiate hard so you never overpay — while my lending side gets you approved and competitive at the same time.

🏦

Finance It Right

As your Loan Officer with 150+ wholesale lenders behind me, I shop the market to find you a competitive rate and the right structure — purchase, refinance, or pulling cash from your equity. One team, start to finish.

📈

Sell for More

Strategic pricing, standout marketing, and skilled negotiation to sell faster and for top dollar — and I can pre-qualify your buyers so your deal actually closes. Ask me for a no-obligation valuation built on real comparable sales.

Why Work With Me

The one-expert advantage

Everything I do comes back to one idea: give you the attention, options, and honesty you deserve on the biggest financial move of your life.

🤝

One-stop: home + loan

One licensed pro for both the purchase and the financing — less back-and-forth, fewer dropped balls, and often a faster, smoother close.

🏦

150+ wholesale lenders

I'm not tied to one bank's menu. I shop 150+ lenders to find the rate, program, and guidelines that actually fit you.

💬

Concierge attention

You get me — responsive, patient, and in your corner. Straight answers to every question, no pressure, no runaround.

🎯

Program expertise

VA, FHA, Conventional, Jumbo, HELOC/HELOAN, Investor/DSCR, ITIN, and Bank Statement loans — I match the right program to your situation, not the other way around.

Loan Programs

Financing for every situation

Whatever your goal — buying, refinancing, or tapping your equity — there's a program for it. Tap any card to see exactly what it is and how it helps. Not sure which fits? That's what a quick call is for.

150+

Wholesale lenders in my corner

Instead of one bank's rates, I put 150+ lenders in competition for your loan. That means more programs, more flexibility on credit and income, and a real shot at a lower rate — without you doing the legwork.

Tougher Situations

Been told no before? Let's take a real look.

Self-employed and your tax returns don't tell the whole story? Buying with an ITIN? A few bumps on your credit, or a bank already turned you down? To me, those aren't dead ends — they're exactly where having 150+ lenders and the right program makes the difference. I'll look at your full picture and find the path a single bank couldn't.

You're never obligated to use me for your financing. Whatever path feels right for you, I'm all in — helping you reach your goals, your way, is always my number one priority. However you choose to move forward, you've got a partner genuinely in your corner.

🤝

What clients say

Real reviews from buyers, sellers, veterans, and investors across California — from Google and Zillow.

★★★★★

"After my home sat on the market with three different realtors, I was honestly pretty frustrated… Working with Felipe ended up being a completely different experience. What I appreciated most was that he was always honest with me… My home generated a lot of interest, and Felipe was able to get it sold for over asking price… we closed in just 25 days. After going through three agents who couldn't get the home sold, it was a huge relief to finally work with someone who got the job done."

— Marina R. · Seller · Google review ↗
★★★★★

"From start to finish, his attention to detail was exceptional. Every question I had was answered promptly… His response time was incredibly fast. He genuinely cares about helping his clients… You'll be in excellent hands as a mortgage lender/real estate."

— Simon G. · Buyer · Google ↗
★★★★★

"As a first-time homeowner, my husband and I were overwhelmed… Felipe took a huge burden off our shoulders. He found us the best loan option as a military family and always made time for us, even with my husband overseas. He genuinely cares about his clients."

"He was very respectful and honest about what we should expect… This is the second time Felipe has helped us, and we'll continue to work with him for any of our real estate or investment needs."

For Buyers

Buy with confidence — one expert for the home and the loan.

Buying a home shouldn't mean bouncing between an agent and a lender who barely talk. I'm licensed as both, so I get you truly approved, help you find the right home, negotiate hard, and keep the loan on track — all as one conversation. First-time buyer or your fifth, that's how you move forward sure of your decision.

Why buy with me

Three advantages every buyer gets

One licensed expert on both sides means fewer surprises, a stronger offer, and someone who truly has your back.

🔑

Real buying power, first

I pre-approve you across 150+ wholesale lenders, so you shop with a strong, competitive offer — not a guess.

✓ Know your true budget before you fall in love with a home
✓ A pre-approval sellers actually take seriously
✓ I match the program to your down payment and goals

A builder's eye on every home

I've fixed and flipped homes myself, so I spot the costly problems before they become yours.

✓ I catch red flags most buyers (and agents) miss
✓ A real sense of what repairs actually cost
✓ I negotiate with facts, so you never overpay
🛡️

One team to the closing table

The home and the loan are the same conversation — no handoffs, no telephone game.

✓ You never repeat yourself to two people
✓ I keep underwriting on track so you close on time
✓ One point of contact start to finish

Selling first?

I can handle both — in the right order.

Just buying? You still get all three advantages above — the selling side is only there if you need it.

Keep reading: why your home's value isn't what sells it ↓
Before you decide

Your home's value isn't what sells it.

Most agents start and end with a number. Many will tell you what you want to hear to win your listing, then ask for price cuts a few weeks later, once your home has gone stale and buyers start wondering what's wrong with it.

A price is only the starting point. What actually sells a home is who it reaches, how it shows, whether the buyer can really pay for it, and how the deal is held together all the way to closing. That's where most sales are won or lost, and it's where I work differently.

2,228Riverside County listings cut their price in August
vs.
2,041homes actually sold that month
1 in 3of those sold over asking

Sources: Realtor.com price-reduced listings, Riverside County, August 2026 (via FRED) · Redfin Riverside County housing market, August 2026

Pricing

Telling you what you want to hear

What many agents do

A high price wins the listing. Then the cuts begin. In August, 2,228 Riverside County listings had to cut their price, more than the 2,041 homes that actually sold. Every cut tells buyers something is wrong, so they wait for the next one.

What I do

I tell you what you need to hear. The homes that did sell went for 98.9% of their list price on average, and 1 in 3 sold over asking. When your home is priced right from day one, buyers compete for it instead of waiting you out. I build your price strategy around competition, not cuts.

Sources: Realtor.com via FRED (price cuts) and Redfin (sales), Riverside County, August 2026. Links above.

Today's market

Still pricing like it's 2021

What many agents do

When rates were near 3%, buyers could stretch and almost any price found a taker. Today's rates are far higher than the loans many owners locked in back then, so every extra dollar of price shows up in a buyer's monthly payment. Agents who still price on hope watch their listings sit.

What I do

I'm the lender too, so I don't just market your home, I help buyers qualify for it. I can pre-approve buyers through 150+ wholesale lenders and programs like VA, FHA, ITIN and bank statement loans, which opens your home to buyers a single bank would turn away. And when a buyer walking through asks "can I afford this?", I answer on the spot. That's when offers happen.

Experience

Never been in your shoes, or inside the walls

What many agents do

Many agents have never bought, owned, fixed or sold a home of their own. When an inspection report scares a buyer, they can't say what a repair really costs, so deals get renegotiated or fall apart over guesses.

What I do

I've bought several homes of my own and fixed and flipped houses with my own hands. I'll tell you which prep pays you back before you list, and answer repair requests with real numbers that keep the deal together.

Financing

Hoping the buyer's loan closes

What many agents do

Most agents accept a pre-approval letter at face value. When that loan falls apart in underwriting, you're back on the market weeks later.

What I do

I read every offer's financing the way a lender would, call the buyer's lender, and watch the loan and the appraisal all the way to closing.

Communication

Going quiet once the sign goes up

What many agents do

Once the listing is live, updates slow down. You're left guessing why showings dropped off or what buyers actually said, until the next call is about cutting the price.

What I do

You hear from me directly, including what buyers and their agents say after showings. When we know what buyers are thinking, we can adjust fast instead of waiting weeks and losing momentum.

Your home's value matters. How it gets sold matters more.

★★★★★
“It helps that he's an investor himself and flips houses. He has first hand experience and he was able to share insight that other agents were not.”
— Vanessa B. · Investor · Google review
So here's how I sell it

What you get when you list with me

Beyond the strategy above, this is what I put to work for every seller, whether or not you're buying next.

📸

Marketing that finds your buyer

Professional photography, plus Facebook, Instagram and Google ads I build and manage myself. I watch who's responding and adjust while your listing is fresh, instead of handing it off to a vendor.

🗣️

Reach in English and Spanish

I market and show your home in both languages, so it reaches the Spanish-speaking buyers many listings never connect with across Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange and LA County.

⚖️

Offers that compete

When interest comes in, I manage it so buyers compete on price and terms. You'll see every offer side by side, including what each buyer's financing means for your timeline.

💵

Your real bottom line

Before you list, you'll know your estimated net after costs. If you're buying next, I'll show you exactly what you can afford for your next home before you accept an offer on this one.

Built around your situation

Wherever you are in life, I've got you

Every reason for selling comes with its own pressure points. Here's how I handle yours.

📈Moving upI line up your sale and your next home loan together, so you know your buying power before you accept an offer and the timing between the two works.
🌿DownsizingKeep more of your equity: the right prep, the right price, and a clear plan for your next, smaller home or for the cash.
✈️RelocatingA sale timed to your move. Once you've left, you can sign electronically while I handle access, showings and updates here.
🏡Inherited propertySelling a family home is emotional and often comes with repairs. I'll tell you honestly whether to sell as-is or fix first, and keep everyone in the family informed.
📊Landlords and investorsI finance investment properties, so I know how investors run the numbers. I'll show you whether to sell vacant or with tenants in place, and how to price for both investors and owner-occupants.
💵Cashing outNot buying next? You still get the full strategy. And if what you really need is cash, not a sale, I'll show you options like a HELOC first.

Felipe made this the easiest home purchase we've had, and we've done this a few times, so we feel lucky it was for our dream home. We'd been through the process with other realtors and loan officers before, so we came in expecting a lengthy and bumpy process; instead, Felipe blew us away. He was highly recommended to us by a family member who had nothing but great things to say, and now we understand why. He helped us land our dream home on 2.5 acres, and everything moved so fast we couldn't believe we were already done and about to get the keys. Our financing went through without a single hiccup, he got us an extremely competitive rate, and we closed in just 25 days. On top of that, he negotiated to have our closing costs fully covered, so all we paid was our down payment, saving us about $24,000 in fees and costs. Felipe is knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely fought for us. We own three other properties, so it means a lot to have someone who manages rentals, owns his own, and has the experience to answer all our questions.

I had a great experience working with Felipe when I sold my flip in Riverside. I've worked with other agents before, and usually the marketing is pretty basic. Put it online, have an open house, flyers, etc. Felipe took a much different approach.

He paid attention to the details of the property and how to get it in front of the right buyers. He was running targeted ads, and I actually started seeing my own house show up on social media. I had never seen an agent do that before. I even clicked on one of the ads and Felipe was the one who responded. He got back to me in less than 5 minutes.

We ended up getting a lot of traffic and multiple offers within the first week. He also did a great job negotiating. When we got an offer, he didn't just tell me to accept it. He explained why he thought we could counter based on what he was seeing and that he felt confident we could get more. I trusted him, and he ended up getting us another $7,000.

As an investor, I pay attention to the numbers and how a property is being marketed, and I was really impressed with the way Felipe handled the sale. I'd definitely work with him again.

I want to thank Felipe for being the knowledgeable professional he is and helping me move forward with my purchase. He is an excellent communicator, simplified the process for me to understand, and has gone the extra mile to accommodate me at every turn.

I've been wanting to purchase a home for some time now but kept hitting roadblocks due to my student loan debt. After being let down and told there wasn't a path forward, I reached out to Felipe for a fresh perspective and was greeted with a lot of great information and support. He was immediately upfront and honest about my options and how I could move forward. I'd recommend anyone to Felipe who is looking for a proactive and trusted mortgage broker to simplify and help you through the complicated process.

Felipe was referred to me by a friend and has helped me with a few different things, both real estate and mortgage related. Any time I have a question, Felipe has an answer. The reason I continue to work with him is because you can tell he genuinely cares more about building relationships with his clients than treating me like another transaction. He looks out for my best interests and always guides me in the right direction, even if he doesn't personally benefit from it. Thanks Felipe!

Felipe assisted us with a refinance for our home. From the first meeting he set expectations and walked us through how the process would work. He was beyond helpful working with underwriting and collecting the additional documents required, and diligent in making sure we met the deadlines. Overall we had a great experience and definitely recommend him for any of your future loan needs.

Felipe is not only one of the hardest working realtors and lenders I know, he also has a great remodel and property-flipping team. They can help you buy, sell, finance and refinance, build or remodel both your home or business. Talk about skills. Love his personality and friendly disposition as well.

Felipe was a pleasure to work with. He truly looked out for our best interests and educated us throughout the process. He prevented us from making a costly mistake by advising against purchasing a condo on leased land. When we found the perfect condo, Felipe was always punctual, responsive, and reliable, and he consistently went the extra mile. Even after the purchase, he helped us track down the store where the seller bought the vinyl flooring for our remodel. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor and highly recommend him. He's as scrupulous, stand-up, and professional as you can get!

I worked with Felipe on a couple of files and it has been an overall pleasant experience. He is very caring toward his clients, making sure they are taken care of throughout the whole mortgage process. He is also very reliable, on time, and efficient to work with. Most of the clients Felipe has assisted are very satisfied with his service. I look forward to helping him close more deals in the future.

★★★★★
I first worked with Felipe three years ago when he helped my son sell his home during a very difficult time. He gave the house the exposure it needed, and in no time we had a wonderful bid we accepted. Felipe was always a step ahead with his knowledge and answers to whatever came up. Plus, and this is important, he doesn't forget about you just because the house is sold; he still checks in to make sure everything is okay. Who does that? More recently I told him I wanted to move, and he put together a full picture of my finances and properties so I know exactly where I am and what I can look for. No driving around looking at homes I won't be interested in; he pays attention to what I need and what I can afford. I only have good things to say and highly recommend him.

Marina R.Seller
★★★★★
After my home sat on the market with three different realtors, I was honestly pretty frustrated. Working with Felipe ended up being a completely different experience. What I appreciated most was that he was always honest with me. My home generated a lot of interest, and Felipe was able to get it sold for over asking price, and we closed in just 25 days. After going through three agents who couldn't get the home sold, it was a huge relief to finally work with someone who got the job done.

Felipe Salgado
In My Own Words

I do this because I've been where you are.

I didn't come into this business from a textbook. I came into it as a buyer who kept getting passed back and forth between an agent and a lender, and as a flipper who learned what's really behind the walls of a home.

Turning a house into something better, and feeling what it means to own it, is exactly why I got my real estate license: so I could help other people feel what I felt when I bought my first home.

Today I'm based in Corona, and every client gets the same three things from me: the truth, one point of contact, and someone who sees the home and the loan together.

— Felipe

My Path

From buyer, to flipper, to the one guide I wish I'd had.

  1. Served in the U.S. Marine CorpsThe Marines taught me to show up prepared, tell people the truth and finish what I start. I bring that to every client.
  2. Bought homes of my ownAs a buyer I got bounced between an agent and a lender who rarely talked. Nobody could give me one straight answer.
  3. Fixed and flipped houses with my own handsDoing the work myself taught me what's behind the walls, what repairs really cost and what a home is truly worth.
  4. Got licensed in real estate and in lendingNow one person handles your home and your loan, start to finish, so nothing falls through the gap.

Questions About Me

What people usually ask first.

Is Felipe Salgado a Realtor or a loan officer?

Both. I hold a California real estate license (DRE #02111383) and a mortgage loan originator license (NMLS #2009343), so I can represent you on the home and arrange your loan.

What areas do you serve?

For buying and selling homes: Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange and Los Angeles counties, including Corona, Riverside, Eastvale, Norco and the Inland Empire. For home loans: anywhere in California.

¿Habla español?

Sí. I work with clients in English and Spanish, from the first call through closing.

Do you help veterans with VA loans?

Yes. I'm a USMC veteran myself, and I help veterans and military families use their VA home loan benefit to buy, refinance or buy again.

How can I check your licenses?

You can look me up on the California DRE public license lookup (#02111383) and on NMLS Consumer Access (#2009343).

    Corona, California

    Buying or selling a home in Corona, CA.

    Corona is my home base. I'm a local Realtor and mortgage loan officer, so you get one person for the price, the offer and the loan. Se habla español.

    Get my Corona home value → See what I can afford
    Selling in Corona

    Priced on your tract, not a county average.

    Two Corona homes a mile apart can sell for very different prices because of Mello-Roos, HOA dues, lot size, views and school boundaries. I price on recent sales that match your home, market it with professional photos and paid ads, and pre-qualify buyers through my lending side so the deal closes.

    How I sell homes →

    Buying in Corona

    Know the real monthly cost before you fall in love.

    Property taxes, Mello-Roos, HOA dues and insurance can add hundreds a month. Homes near the hills can also cost more to insure because of fire risk. I run the full payment on every home you like, so there are no surprises at closing.

    How I help buyers →

    Corona Neighborhoods

    Newer master-planned tracts, parks and shopping. Check for Mello-Roos and HOA dues.

    Gated and golf-course communities in the south hills.

    Near the lakes, restaurants and the I-15. Popular with move-up buyers.

    Unincorporated area south of town with newer homes and Corona addresses.

    Corona Questions

    What Corona buyers and sellers ask me.

    Who is a good real estate agent in Corona, CA?

    Look for someone who knows the local tracts, prices homes on real comparable sales and answers your loan questions without passing you around. I'm a Corona-based Realtor and mortgage loan officer, so I handle the home and the financing together. Read my client reviews and decide for yourself.

    Do homes in Corona have Mello-Roos?

    Many newer communities do, including parts of South Corona, Dos Lagos and Temescal Valley. Older neighborhoods often don't. The amount changes your monthly payment, so I check the tax bill for every home before you write an offer.

    What school district serves Corona?

    Most of Corona is in the Corona-Norco Unified School District. School boundaries can change, so always confirm the assigned schools for a specific address with the district.

    How much is my Corona home worth?

    Online estimates miss what makes your home different. Ask me for a free valuation built on recent comparable sales in your tract. No obligation.

    Can you help me buy in Corona with a VA or FHA loan?

    Yes. I'm also your loan officer, so I can get you pre-approved with VA, FHA, Conventional and other programs and make your offer stronger.

    VA Home Loans

    Why VA

    What the VA loan does for you.

    🏠$0 down

    No down payment with full entitlement, even on higher-priced California homes.

    🛡️No monthly mortgage insurance

    Unlike FHA and most low-down conventional loans, there's no monthly PMI.

    🤝Seller help with costs

    Sellers can pay closing costs and concessions, which can cut your cash to close.

    🔁Reusable benefit

    Use it again after you sell, or buy your next home while keeping the first one.

    Why work with me

    Your agent and your lender, and a fellow veteran.

    VA offers still lose to cash and conventional offers when the agent and lender can't explain the VA appraisal and timeline to the seller. I handle both sides, so I can answer the listing agent's questions on the spot and keep your offer competitive.

    What you'll need

    VA Loan Questions

    What veterans ask me most.

    Can I really buy with $0 down on a VA loan?

    Yes, if you have full VA entitlement and qualify with a lender. If part of your entitlement is tied up in another VA loan, you may need a down payment above a certain amount. I'll check your Certificate of Eligibility and tell you exactly where you stand.

    What credit score do I need for a VA loan?

    The VA doesn't set a minimum score. Each lender sets its own. Because I shop 150+ wholesale lenders, I can often find one that fits your credit when a single bank says no.

    Do I have to pay the VA funding fee?

    Most borrowers pay a one-time funding fee, and it can be rolled into the loan. Veterans who receive VA disability compensation are generally exempt, along with some other groups.

    Can I use my VA loan more than once?

    Yes. You can restore your entitlement after you sell and pay off a VA loan, and in some cases you can buy again while keeping your first VA home, as long as you have remaining entitlement and qualify.

    Can I refinance my VA loan?

    Yes. A VA streamline refinance (IRRRL) can lower your rate with less paperwork, and a VA cash-out refinance lets you take equity out of your home.

    See what your VA benefit can buy.

    Eastvale · Riverside County

    Buying or selling a home in Eastvale.

    Eastvale grew from dairy land into one of the newest cities in Riverside County, so most homes here are 2000s-era tracts with HOAs and Mello-Roos. I work right next door in Corona, as your Realtor and your loan officer.

    Selling in Eastvale

    When most homes look alike, the details set the price.

    In Eastvale, buyers compare nearly identical floor plans side by side. Lot size, upgrades, solar (owned or leased), the tax bill and the school boundary move the price. I match your home to the right sales and show buyers what makes it worth more.

    How I sell homes →

    Buying in Eastvale

    Read the tax bill before the floor plan.

    Two Eastvale homes at the same price can have very different monthly payments because of Mello-Roos, HOA dues and leased solar. I run the full payment on each home you like, and I can pre-approve you myself so your offer is ready.

    How I help buyers →

    Eastvale Neighborhoods

    A few areas buyers ask me about most.

    📍North of Limonite

    Mostly early-2000s tracts close to the 60 and Ontario.

    Eastvale Questions

    What Eastvale buyers and sellers ask me.

    Do most Eastvale homes have Mello-Roos?

    Many do, because most of the city was built in the 2000s. The amount varies by tract and some have paid off, so I check the tax bill on every home.

    Does leased solar affect selling my Eastvale home?

    It can. The buyer usually has to qualify to take over the lease, which adds steps. I plan for that before we list so it doesn't slow your sale.

    How much is my Eastvale home worth?

    Ask me for a free valuation built on recent sales of similar floor plans in your neighborhood. No obligation.

    Buying in Menifee

    New build or resale? I'll run both.

    A builder's incentive can look better than it is once Mello-Roos and HOA dues are added. Because I'm also a loan officer, I can compare the builder's lender offer with what I can get you, so you choose with real numbers.

    Menifee Questions

    What Menifee buyers and sellers ask me.

    Is it better to buy new construction or a resale in Menifee?

    It depends on the full monthly cost and what's included. New homes often have higher Mello-Roos and fewer finished extras. I'll compare both for you, line by line.

    Can I bring my own agent to a Menifee new-home community?

    Usually yes, but most builders require your agent to register you on your first visit. Call me before you walk in so you have representation from the start.

    Selling in Irvine

    Buying in Irvine

    Jumbo loans, shopped across 150+ lenders.

    Orange County has a higher conforming loan limit than Riverside County, but many Irvine homes still go above it. I shop jumbo and high-balance options for you, and I check Mello-Roos and HOA dues, which can be significant in newer villages.

    Irvine Questions

    What Irvine buyers and sellers ask me.

    Do I need a jumbo loan to buy in Irvine?

    Often, yes, unless you're buying a condo or putting more down. I'll show you conforming, high-balance and jumbo options side by side.

    Why do Mello-Roos and HOA dues matter so much in Irvine?

    In newer villages they can add hundreds a month to your payment and affect how much you qualify for. I check both before you write an offer.

    Can I sell my Inland Empire home and buy in Irvine?

    Yes. I handle both sides and the financing, so we can time the sale and purchase together.
