A family office, serving all of California.
Choice Home Mortgage is a family-owned brokerage run by Esther Buede and Gregory Toussieng, helping California families buy and refinance homes since 2005. When you reach out, you’re talking to the people whose names are on the license — not a sales queue.
Fountain Valley, CA 92708
We serve clients across California — the whole process works by phone, video, and secure e-signing, so where you live is never a limitation. Licensed by the NMLS (#2629064) and the California DRE (#01822046).
Before you reach out
Where is Choice Home Mortgage located?
Our licensed headquarters is at 9550 Warner Ave Ste 300, Fountain Valley, CA 92708. We work with clients across California by phone, video, and secure e-signing — the entire loan can be done without an office visit.
Do I need an appointment to talk to someone?
No. Call or text (949) 522-7310 and start the conversation. If a longer call makes sense, we'll set a time that works for you. There's no cost and no obligation to talk.
Who will I actually be talking to?
Owner Esther Buede (NMLS #2003644) handles client files personally. You won't be handed between departments or re-explain your situation to a stranger on every call — that's the point of a family brokerage.
Can my whole loan really be done remotely?
Yes. Documents upload securely, disclosures e-sign, and the rest happens by phone and video. Clients all over California close with us without ever visiting an office.
What should I have ready when I reach out?
Nothing is required for a first conversation. If you want a head start, knowing your approximate credit range, income, and goal (buy, refinance, cash-out) helps us give you useful answers on the first call.
The first conversation costs nothing.
