Our experience arranging a bridge loan with Golden Gate Lending was excellent. We had an opportunity to bid on a probate trust sale on a newly listed home, but the sellers only allowed 7 days for submitting offers and the trust wanted to close in15 days. Local lenders here in Central California told us they could not fund us in that timeframe. I was fortunate enough to be referred by a local mortgage broker to Jamie Shea at Golden Gate Lending. He was able to walk us through the approval and funding process in detail and was willing to work over the weekend to meet our deadline. The on-line application process was simple, and Jamie was always available to answer our many questions during that hectic time. And through all of this he was always professional, caring and best-of-all nice. We feel very fortunate to have found the Golden Gate team and highly recommend them.
This team makes magic happen for buyers! As a Marin County Realtor, having the right lending partner is everything and Golden Gate Lending Group has completely changed the game for my clients. Their luxury bridge loan program allows homeowners to buy before they sell, which is a huge advantage in today’s competitive California real estate market. Instead of writing offers contingent on the sale of a current home, my clients can make strong, non-contingent, cash-equivalent offers. That leverage makes a real difference. The Golden Gate Lending Group team walks clients through every step of the bridge loan process — from using equity in their current home to secure financing, to coordinating the sale and payoff seamlessly. It eliminates stress, removes timing pressure, and allows families to move once instead of twice. If you’re a homeowner in Marin County, the Bay Area, or anywhere in California and want to buy a new home before selling your current one, I highly recommend reaching out to Golden Gate Lending Group. They are true experts in bridge financing and a trusted resource for Realtors and homeowners alike. I cannot recommend them enough!
Golden Gate Lending is hands down the best Bridge Loan lender I have ever worked with. They are my go too, not only because they do a great job, but they are also friendly, realistic, and provide amazing service. I would recommend them to all my family & friends. That is how much I trust them!
Wanted to say thank you to Jamie Shea, loan officer and his team. We had a 14-day escrow that was executed flawlessly - cordinating with multiple outside teams to pull this sale together in time to meet the seller’s deadline. Responsive, superb communication, efficient and very effective. Without their help our 2nd home dream would not have been a reality. Pleasure working with you!
Golden Gate Lending and their team are fantastic. They are professional, responsive, easy to work with and creative. I really enjoy working with Jamie, Sofia, and the team. They know how to get things done. Recommend them...I do and have and will continue to do so.

When you’re ready to submit an offer, we’ll provide you and your real estate agent with a personalized approval letter that acts as a cash-like offer-giving you a competitive edge and the confidence to secure your dream home.

If needed, we can guide you through refinancing options to align your financing with your long-term plans. With everything handled, you can settle into your new home effortlessly and enjoy this next chapter to the fullest.
