Our Jumbo loans are straightforward.
Most Jumbo loans tend to be complicated, which makes people steer clear of them. So we created our own: Jumbo from Embrace. Our Jumbo loans have competitive rates, are underwritten in-house to our own guidelines, and come with a variety of terms.
A Jumbo loan is a mortgage used to finance a property that is too expensive for a Conventional conforming loan. In most counties, the maximum amount for a conforming loan is $548,250, as determined by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). But because some real estate markets are pricier than others, the loan limit varies by county. We’re happy to let you know what the loan limit is in your area.
Conventional loans conform to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines, which means the lender is protected if a borrower defaults on his or her loan. Jumbo loans can’t be guaranteed by Fannie or Freddie, so they are considered riskier for lenders. This is why the qualifications for Jumbo loans often differ from Conventional loans.

Our Jumbo loan highlights:
- As little as 10% down for loan amounts up to $1.5M
- As little as 20% down for loan amounts up to $2.5M
- 740+ credit score
- Adjustable and fixed rates available
- Purchase and rate term only
- Primary one-unit residence only
We also offer Jumbo loans with other qualifications, including lower credit scores, so reach out to your loan officer to learn which loan is right for your situation.
