Overview

When Standard Financing Falls Short

Jumbo loans are mortgages that exceed the conforming loan limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac ($832,750 in most U.S. markets). Because they can't be sold to those agencies, jumbo loans are held by portfolio lenders or the secondary market at a premium — which means underwriting standards are higher, but flexibility is greater.

We work with high-net-worth buyers and discerning borrowers to structure jumbo loans for primary residences, second homes, and investment properties. Whether you're purchasing a luxury home in Portland's West Hills or a California coastal property, our experienced team delivers the discretion and tailored approach you expect.

Who This Is For

Buyers of high-value properties in Oregon or California
Executives, business owners, and high-earning professionals
Buyers purchasing luxury primary residences or second homes
Real estate investors acquiring high-value single-family rentals
Borrowers with high assets but variable or complex income
Buyers who want to preserve liquidity rather than make a large down payment

Key Features

What Makes This Program Work

Loans up to $3M+

We finance primary residences, second homes, and investment properties well above standard conforming limits.

Fixed & ARM Structures

Choose a 30-year fixed for certainty, or a 5/1, 7/1, or 10/1 ARM for a lower starting rate if your timeline matches.

Primary, Second & Investment

Jumbo financing is available for owner-occupied homes, vacation properties, and investment real estate.

Asset-Based Qualifying

Strong asset reserves can offset income documentation requirements — ideal for retired executives or business owners with complex taxes.

Interest-Only Options

Interest-only periods available on select ARM and fixed products, reducing initial payments and maximizing monthly cash flow.

Foreign National Eligible

We work with select lenders to provide jumbo financing for foreign nationals purchasing in Oregon or California.

We Work Alongside Your Advisory Team

High-value transactions deserve a coordinated approach. We collaborate regularly with wealth managers, CPAs, tax advisors, and attorneys to ensure the financing piece integrates seamlessly with your client's broader financial picture.

A Coordinated Transaction for You

Jumbo transactions often involve more moving parts — estate planning, liquidity strategies, tax implications, and asset management decisions that extend well beyond the mortgage itself. When your advisors are part of the conversation, the process is faster, smarter, and far less stressful.

We coordinate directly with your wealth manager, CPA, or attorney as needed
Documentation requests are precise and targeted — no unnecessary back-and-forth
We understand complex asset structures, trusts, and entity vesting
Discretion and confidentiality are standard — not optional — on every jumbo file

"With mortgage rates at historic lows, I decided to refinance. Unimpressed with my current mortgage lender's rates (Bank of America), I did some digging and found great rates that would need to be brokered privately. I remember a friend mentioning Lumen, so I fired off an email, and what do you know - ~2 weeks later I closed at a fantastic rate! 2 weeks!"
