Loans I help with here

La Quinta buyers often mix full-time living with second-home plans. As a mortgage broker, I compare lenders so the loan fits how you'll actually use the home.

Second-home financing

For part-time residents who want a place in La Quinta for the season and to come back to every year.

Golf-community jumbo loans

Financing for higher-priced homes in PGA West and the other gated golf communities around town.

Fixed-rate HELOCs

Use the equity in your La Quinta home for a remodel, a pool or other plans, with a fixed rate on what you draw.

Cash-out refinances

Swap your current mortgage for a new one and take cash out, when that works out better than a HELOC.

Local insight

Living and buying in La Quinta

La Quinta sits at the foot of the Santa Rosa Mountains, and the backdrop is part of why people fall for it. Old Town La Quinta has a walkable mix of shops, restaurants and seasonal events. The city is also known for golf, from PGA West to a long list of club communities.

You'll find gated golf neighborhoods, established single-family streets and newer homes in town. Some buyers live here year-round, and others come for the winter season. Before you pick a loan program, it helps to know which of those you are, plus any HOA or community rules.

La Quinta FAQ

Common questions from La Quinta buyers

Can I finance a second home in a La Quinta golf community?

Often, yes. Second-home loans usually depend on how you'll use the property, your down payment and the HOA. I'll go over the requirements with you before you make an offer.

Is a HELOC or a cash-out refinance better for my La Quinta home?

That depends on your current mortgage and how you plan to use the money. A HELOC keeps your first mortgage in place, and a cash-out refinance replaces it. I can compare both for you side by side.

Do you actually live in La Quinta?

Yes. La Quinta is my home base, and I work with buyers and homeowners here and all across the Coachella Valley.
