Worried a job change will ruin your mortgage plans?
Steve Trenkwalder, Vice President, Data Analytics and Secondary Marketing, and Cisco Bass, Senior Director of Growth, describe how changing jobs shouldn't impact your eligibility for a home loan.
Many potential homebuyers put their dreams on hold because they switched jobs. But here's the truth: changing jobs doesn't automatically disqualify you from getting a mortgage – especially when you stay in the same industry.
Don't let a new job opportunity become a barrier to homeownership. Understanding how lenders view job changes puts you back in control of your timeline.

💻 That pop-up saying your computer is infected might be a scam. Fake security alerts are becoming more common as Bay Area residents work, shop, and bank online. These alerts often ask you to call a number or download software so scammers can gain access to your device.
What to do instead:
🔹 Do not click the alert
🔹 Close your browser
🔹 Run a security scan using trusted software
A quick pause can help protect your personal and financial information. Learn about the most common scams affecting Bay Area residents in our latest article and see how Fremont Bank helps keep clients safe: https://bit.ly/3PLIeTG

Ready for homeownership with just 3% down?
Steve Trankwelder, Vice President, Data Analytics and Secondary Marketing, and Cisco Bass, Senior Director of Growth, share a program that makes homeownership accessible to more buyers.
Most people think you need perfect credit, massive savings, or a six-figure salary to buy a home. But Fremont Bank's 3% down program breaks all those barriers – and there's no income limit holding you back.
Your income level won't disqualify you from this incredible opportunity. It's time to stop waiting and start owning.

Getting money from family for your down payment? You'll need more than just a thank-you note!
Steve Trenkwalder, Vice President, Secondary Marketing spells out what a gift letter is and why you need one.
Many first-time homebuyers receive generous gifts from family members to help with their down payment. But here's what most don't know: lenders require official documentation called a gift letter to prove this money is truly a gift, not a loan.
Don't let paperwork confusion derail your home purchase. Understanding gift letter requirements up front keeps your timeline on track and your lender happy.
