An independent mortgage broker, since 2008

Strategic Equities helps Southern California homeowners, buyers and investors finance property. We’re based in Carlsbad and work with more than 100 lenders and banks.

Common sense over formulas

Most lenders run every file through the same rigid formula. When a borrower doesn’t fit, the answer is no. We take a different approach: we look at the whole picture, then find the lender whose guidelines match it, from A-rated banks to specialty lenders for self-employed borrowers, investors and unique properties.

Clients come back to us for their second home, their rental properties and their refinances, and they send us their friends and family. That repeat business is the measure we care about most.
