California’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender

Hello! My name is Alyssa. Seven years ago, I joined the mortgage industry working in legal compliance after growing up around the business from a very young age. I quickly pivoted to mortgage origination, specializing in first-time homebuyers, down payment assistance, jumbo, and non-qualified mortgage programs. I’ve been recognized as a leading professional by several top publications:

· National Mortgage News Top Producer 2024, 2023

· Scotsman Guide Top Originator & Top Emerging Star 2025

· Mortgage Executive Magazine Top 1% of Mortgage Originators in America 2025, 2024

Whether this is your first home, your next home or a refinance, you’ll benefit from my holistic, client-focused approach to home financing. From our first discussion to your closing day, I look forward to providing you with second-to-none communication and customer service.

On a personal note, I have two dogs named Lucky and Moose. I love to get outside, visit a new restaurant and spend time with family and friends.

  • To determine how much home you can afford, you’ll want to assess your financial situation. This includes your income, expenses, and debt-to-income ratio, to ensure your mortgage fits comfortably within your budget. A general guideline is to spend no more than 28% of your gross monthly income on housing costs and 36% on total debt.

  • A good credit score typically starts at 620 for conventional loans, while FHA and VA loans may accept scores as low as 500, though higher scores offer better terms. A strong credit score can help you secure lower interest rates, saving you significant money over the life of a home loan.

  • A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a revolving line of credit that allows homeowners to borrow against the equity in their home. HELOCs function like a credit card, giving access to funds up to a set limit, which can be used for expenses like renovations or debt consolidation. You only pay interest on the amount you borrow, and the repayment terms typically include a draw period followed by a repayment period.

  • To calculate your mortgage payments, start with your loan amount, interest rate, and loan term. Your payment will depend on the interest charged over time and the repayment schedule. You can use a monthly mortgage payment calculator or connect with us to learn more.
