Santa Monica Home Loans


Financing a Santa Monica Home

Buying a home in Santa Monica or refinancing the one you own starts with understanding your loan options. Miamar Realty and broker Jay Romero help you find financing and connect with lenders across Los Angeles County. The city has its own rent control rules, which matter when buying or selling rental property.

Purchase, Refinance and Equity Options

Depending on your situation, you may look at: FHA-insured loans made by FHA-approved lenders for a primary residence. Home equity loans or lines of credit, where your home secures the debt. Conventional financing for buyers who fit standard lender guidelines. Rate-and-term or cash-out refinancing, subject to lender guidelines. Coastal homes in Santa Monica can be priced above standard loan limits, so some buyers will look at jumbo financing with their lender.

What to Expect

We start with your goals and timeline, then help you find a lender. The lender takes the application, reviews credit, income, assets and the property, and decides whether to issue a pre-approval or approval. You are free to compare lenders. We also serve Culver City, El Segundo and Manhattan Beach.
