  • I worked with Ted Erickson from Barrett Financial Group to secure financing for a home loan in Marin… there were some tricky spots and complications for my loan application. However, that did not stop or hinder Ted. He worked tirelessly to help me be approved, found great solutions to any issues… and he was there every step of the way.

Why use a Rohnert Park mortgage broker instead of a bank?

Banks rarely compare CalHFA, FHA and conventional options side by side. An independent mortgage broker does, and Ted is CalHFA-approved. As a Sonoma County mortgage broker and local mortgage broker, he helps Rohnert Park buyers see every program before writing an offer.

“Two other lenders tried to fund our loan and failed. Time was running out, and the whole transaction felt stuck… He looked at the file, asked good questions, and found a path forward that the others missed… We closed on time, and the stress dropped the moment he took over.”

Buying and Investing in Rohnert Park

Rohnert Park is laid out in lettered sections, A through W, including the K Section, known as the University District, and the W Section, known as Willowglen. Sonoma State University, Graton Resort and Casino, Roberts Lake and a SMART station anchor the city.

With Sonoma State next door, almost half of Rohnert Park homes are renter-occupied, so long-term rentals are a steady play. DSCR loans let a rental qualify on its own rent instead of your tax returns.

The typical Rohnert Park home value sits under Sonoma County's 2026 conforming limit, which keeps many first-time buyers in conforming territory. Ted compares FHA, conventional and CalHFA options side by side before you write an offer.

Ted also helps borrowers in nearby Petaluma, Santa Rosa and Sebastopol, and across Marin and Sonoma counties.

It can be. Ted compares pricing from many wholesale lenders for your Rohnert Park loan, and wholesale pricing can be lower than what a single retail bank offers. Broker pay is disclosed on your Loan Estimate, so you can compare total cost side by side before you choose.

A broker doesn't make the final underwriting decision; the lender does. Some bank-only products, like a portfolio loan at your own bank, aren't available through a broker. Brokers also vary, so check the NMLS record of anyone you hire in Rohnert Park. Ted's is NMLS #223442.

For most borrowers, yes. A mortgage broker can often get better pricing than a big bank because brokers have lower overhead and shop many wholesale lenders at once. You also work directly with a seasoned loan officer. Banks sometimes lower a rate for customers who keep investments with them, but in most situations a broker comes out ahead.

It's a set of federal timing rules. The lender sends your Loan Estimate within 3 business days of your application, you can't close until at least 7 business days after that, and you get your Closing Disclosure at least 3 business days before signing. Ted keeps Rohnert Park buyers on that calendar so escrow closes on time.

Not as a grant. The program people usually mean is CalHFA's Dream For All, a shared-appreciation down payment loan for first-generation buyers. You repay it, plus a share of the home's appreciation, when you sell or refinance. Funds are limited and recipients are chosen by drawing. Ted is CalHFA-approved, so he can tell you when a round opens and help you apply for your Rohnert Park purchase.

In California, a first-time buyer usually means you haven't owned a home in the past three years. CalHFA programs add income limits set by county and require a homebuyer education course. Ted can check which programs fit a Rohnert Park purchase before you make an offer.

Rates change daily and depend on your credit, down payment, loan type and property. A rental or bank-statement loan prices differently than a standard purchase. For a same-day quote on a Rohnert Park home, call or text Ted at (415) 717-0477 or fill out the form above.
