If you are looking to purchase a home or refinance an existing home, we would love to work with you!  We are EXTREMELY competitive on FHA loans.

Most lenders earn 2-3 points (2-3% of your loan amount) or more on FHA loans.  We earn 1% of your loan amount (paid by the lender), and we do not charge any loan processing fees.  This is substantially less than 99% of the lenders out there, and any lender who can beat us on rate will lack the service we provide.

Along with offering lower FHA rates than competing lenders, we also offer rates with lender credits to apply toward closing costs.  Not all lenders offer rates that come with lender credits.

If you are looking for a purchase loan or a refinance in Santa Clara County, we would love to work with you!  We can close a purchase loan in as little as 10 days and refinances in 15 days.  You won’t find a lower rate and better service than Community First Mortgage.
