A mortgage broker based in Chino Hills.
This is home base. We work as a fully remote team, so you get local knowledge without waiting on anyone to be at a desk.
What local actually means in Chino Hills.
Serving an area is not a marketing claim. It means knowing the things that change your payment and your approval.
Newer construction, extra costs
A lot of Chino Hills inventory is newer, which often means HOA dues and sometimes Mello-Roos special assessments. Both affect your monthly payment and how much home you qualify for, and both get missed by generic online calculators.
San Bernardino County limits
County conforming loan limits change annually. Above them you move into jumbo territory, which has different requirements. We check the current limit against your price range before you shop.
Competitive, so preparation wins
Well-priced homes here move. A real pre-approval, ideally an underwritten one, is what separates the offers that get taken seriously.

If you would like to meet face to face, we are happy to arrange it by appointment, including meeting you closer to where you are.
How do HOA dues and Mello-Roos affect what I can afford in Chino Hills?
Both are counted as part of your housing expense when a lender decides how much you qualify for, and both are common in Chino Hills because a large share of the housing stock is newer construction. HOA dues are billed by the association, and Mello-Roos is a special assessment attached to certain districts that appears on the property tax bill. A home with high dues and a Mello-Roos assessment can qualify for meaningfully less loan than an otherwise identical home without them, which is why the total payment matters more than the list price.
What is the conforming loan limit in San Bernardino County?
Conforming loan limits are set annually and change from year to year, so the current figure should always be confirmed rather than assumed. If your loan amount exceeds the limit for San Bernardino County, you move into jumbo financing, which generally has stricter requirements around credit, reserves, and down payment. In practice this matters most for buyers looking at the upper end of the Chino Hills market, and it is worth knowing which side of the line you are on before you write an offer.
