Who can help me get a mortgage in Pleasanton, CA?
Choice Home Mortgage arranges home loans for Pleasanton buyers and homeowners. We are a licensed California mortgage broker (NMLS #2629064, CA DRE #01822046), family-owned since 2005, and owner Esther Buede works every Pleasanton file from the first call to closing.

Inside the Pleasanton mortgage market.
Pleasanton anchors the Tri-Valley where I-580 and I-680 intersect, placing residents within commuting distance of both the East Bay employment spine and Silicon Valley; top-decile schools and a walkable Victorian-era downtown create persistent demand that sustains price floors across cycles.
The loan has to fit the Pleasanton picture. Alameda County counts as high-cost, so Pleasanton buyers get a $1,249,125 one-unit ceiling on 2026 Pleasanton purchases. Plenty of Pleasanton purchases cross that $1,249,125 threshold, so the right high-balance or jumbo structure is routine Pleasanton work for us. Pleasanton’s price tier is above the national norm, the same reality behind Alameda County’s high-cost limit. 2026 limits published by FHFA — confirm your exact scenario with us.
