Lenders

It’s a good idea to start with your current bank where you have an existing relationship, but it may benefit you to shop around for the mortgage rate and service that best suits your needs.  You need a “Pre-Approval” letter from a credible lender to be "Offer Ready"

Below is a list of lenders some of my clients have used and been satisfied with in the past, however I cannot guarantee, or speak to the competitiveness of their loan products or interest rates. 

Note:  If you are considering a property on Leased Land (BIA - Bureau of Indian Affairs), be sure to ask your lender if they can service such a mortgage.  Typically, out of area and national financial institutions will not lend on BIA Leased Land.

Homeowners Insurance 

Obtaining Homeowners Insurance in California is more complicated and time consuming compared to what it used to be, and you can no longer assume your current insurance carrier will cover your new home.  Many of the larger carriers are no longer writing policies in California, and some will not even renew existing policies.  As a result, I encourage you to lock down your insurance coverage as soon as you've identified the property you want to buy.  It's not uncommon to wait weeks for verification of coverage.  The standard terms in a purchase agreement provide for 17 days after acceptance for the buyer to release their insurance contingency.

Home Inspection Services

I can only advise on real estate.  I do not have the qualifications or expertise of a home inspector, which requires unique training, education, experience, and knowledge to earn their certification.  

When buying a home, I advise you to at least have a general home inspection and to always use a certified inspector.  However, depending on the property and your home inspector's guidance, you may also want to consider other inspection services such as soil & geological conditions, environmental hazards, sewer/septic systems, well & water systems, roof, boundary lines/lot size, easements/encroachments, permits, zoning, & code compliance, solar systems, water conservation requirements, and others.

Below is a list of home inspectors some of my clients have used and been satisfied with in the past, however I cannot select which inspector you use. You may select any home inspector you wish.  Please verify appropriate licenses and do your own research before selecting any service provider.

Once you select the inspector, I can facilitate scheduling the appointment and will be present at the inspection, likewise I encourage you to attend.
