About me

Welcome! I’m Sandra Smith, a licensed Senior Loan Officer (NMLS #255924) based in Walnut Creek, CA, with years of experience helping individuals and families achieve their dreams of homeownership.

Whether you're a first-time homebuyer navigating the process for the first time or a retiree exploring reverse mortgage options to unlock your housing wealth, I’m here to guide you with clarity, care, and confidence. My mission is to simplify the mortgage journey and ensure you feel informed and supported every step of the way.

I specialize in:

Home purchase loans for first-time buyers or returning buyers

Refinancing solutions to improve financial flexibility including fixed equity lines

Reverse mortgages to help retirees access equity and age in place

Personalized homeownership guidance tailored to your goals

My team and I take pride in preparing every loan file with precision, ensuring it’s ready for underwriting success. We stay connected beyond closing with bi-annual check-ins, offering ongoing support as your needs evolve.

Transparency and trust are at the heart of everything we do. All communications and marketing materials comply with federal and state regulations, including the SAFE Act, CFPB, RESPA, and TILA. You’ll never see misleading claims—just honest, accurate information designed to empower your decisions.

Let’s make your homeownership journey a success—together.

Let's find the right home loan for you

We have loan options to fit every situation, from down payment assistance programs for first-time homebuyers to government-sponsored programs for military families and rural residents or jumbo loans in high-cost markets.
