Mortgage Broker in Concord, CA — Home Loans for Purchase and Refinance

If you are buying a home or refinancing in Concord, Lendia can help. Lendia, Inc. is a licensed California mortgage broker, not a bank. Instead of offering a single lender’s products, we compare options from the wholesale lenders we work with for FHA, VA, conventional, jumbo and non-QM loans, then walk you through the choices that fit your situation. Concord is in Contra Costa County, and we arrange loans for properties throughout the county.

Contra Costa County Loan Limits for 2026

The 2026 conforming loan limit for a one-unit home in Contra Costa County is $1,249,125. Contra Costa County is a designated high-cost area, so its limit sits at the national ceiling for 2026. Conventional loans above that amount are jumbo loans, which follow different guidelines. VA loans work differently: with full entitlement there is no VA-set loan limit, and the county limit mainly matters for borrowers with reduced or remaining entitlement. You can look up the limit for a specific ZIP code on our California loan limits page.

How Working With Lendia Goes

1. Start with your goals. Tell us whether you are buying, refinancing or taking cash out, and what monthly payment feels comfortable. The affordability guide shows how lenders look at your income and debts.
2. Get preapproved. We review your income, assets and credit, then explain which programs fit. See what to expect in our preapproval guide.
3. Compare options. Because we are a broker, we can compare programs from the lenders we work with rather than quoting one product.
4. Close with clear communication. We keep you updated on appraisal, underwriting and closing steps so there are no surprises.
