PennyMac — a broad-menu lender we shop.

PennyMac is a large national lender we have access to as a broker, with a wide range of conventional and government loan programs. We shop them alongside many lenders to fit your file.

Who they are

A national lender with a wide loan menu.

PennyMac is a large national lender with a broad menu of conventional and government loan programs — including FHA and VA. That range makes them a useful option to have in the mix for many everyday purchase and refinance scenarios.

But a single lender, however big, can only offer its own loans. Choice Home Mortgage is a broker, not a bank — so we put PennyMac in competition with hundreds of other lenders for your file. You end up choosing from the best of many options, not taking one institution’s rate sheet as-is.

We’ve done this since 2005, and owner Esther Buede handles your file personally. Whether you’re buying or refinancing, start here and we’ll shop the lenders for you.
