Specialists in Loans for Self Employed & Non Conventional Borrowers
I launched Silicon Valley Mortgage in 2001 as a way to give my clients greater access to an array of lenders and to help the self-employed, who need alternative means to qualify.
We created a system that help our clients better understand their mortgage options. We work alongside them to help make strategic decisions that align with their financial goals all while providing a simple and seamless experience.
A Different Kind of Mortgage Broker
My name is Alan Eidinger, and I help people make sound, strategic decisions and save money when they buy, sell, or refinance real estate.
After working as a realtor and mortgage loan officer for seven years, I was frustrated that the small company I was working in couldn’t provide access to the variety of loans available in the marketplace. We were unable to help the self-employed, people looking for reverse mortgages, or those needing commercial loans.
Client’s loans were often held hostage by a cumbersome, ill-conceived loan process, resulting in delays and poor experiences that I wasn’t empowered to improve.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
We’re a mortgage broker, which means we have work with over 75 different lenders that will compete for your business. Competitive rates and a wide range of options are how we get you the best possible rate.
-
A personalized loan experience and expertise that can help you get the best financing options for your future, that’s the difference.
Online mortgage lenders put you through a automated process where you do all the work, and they then provide the offer. No consulting on your specific buying situation or your goals for your new home.
We make sure that you can get the most out of your mortgage because we know all of the goals you have in mind.
-
A bank or credit union offers the consumer access to the limited selection of loan programs and rates that they choose to offer, and then impose strict and inflexible guidelines for qualification. An independent Mortgage broker is not limited to any one bank or set of loan programs, they instead give you access to virtually the entire mortgage marketplace. This gives you better rates, more flexible loan guidelines and even alternative financing for people who may be unable to verify their income, like the self-employed.
-
We are based in Silicon Valley, so many of our clients are self-employed. There are multiple options for self-employed people to qualify for a loan, even in the event that they can’t verify their income in the traditional manner. We specialize in helping our self-employed borrowers qualify for home loans by using alternative documentation and taking advantage of the specialty loan programs.

We have a streamlined process to apply online. Simply fill out the application and upload your documents securely to our portal.

If you are purchasing a home, we can get you a Custom Loan Pre-Approval letter within 24 hours of us receiving your paperwork. At that point, you are ready to shop for a new home! Once you have an accepted offer, we can close purchase loans within 30 days.
