What if to buy your dream home, you need to borrow more money than is possible using a conventional conforming loan?
To help you purchase a property that requires additional financing, we can connect you with a jumbo loan.
What is a Jumbo Loan?
A jumbo loan is a type of mortgage that allows you to borrow more money than you can using a conforming loan.
Conforming loans must conform to the limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Both conforming loans and jumbo (non-conforming) loans are classified as conventional loans, but most people are talking about conforming loans when they refer to conventional mortgages.
