Meet Tom

I'm Tom Jessop, a licensed Loan Consultant (NMLS #288015) with New American Funding. Twenty-three years writing mortgages in South Orange County. 280+ five-star reviews from clients across Southern California.
My specialty is the deals that don't fit a template: jumbo and high-balance loans up to $1.1M, self-employed buyers using bank statement programs, refinances where the math is the whole conversation, and investors building portfolios with DSCR loans. Anything California-specific (high-balance limits, rent control on investment properties, down payment assistance) I've already navigated dozens of times.
The model is straightforward. One loan officer, start to finish. Direct line. Honest math before you commit. Close on time. That's been the business for 23 years.
Loan Programs
Specialized in jumbo, self-employed, and refinances in South Orange County. Built for the deals that don't fit a template.
Conventional, FHA, VA, and jumbo. First home or fifth, you get one loan officer from pre-qual to keys. No call-center handoffs.
Bank statement programs that qualify you on deposits, not tax returns. Built for business owners, 1099 earners, and freelancers who got told no by the bank.
Lower your rate, shorten your term, or pull equity. You see the side-by-side math before you commit. Closing costs can be rolled in if a zero out-of-pocket refi makes sense.
Financing above the $766K conforming limit, up to $1.1M+ in California's high-value counties. Local expertise for San Clemente, Orange County, and LA.
Rentals, multi-units, and DSCR loans that qualify on rental cash flow instead of your personal income. Built for buyers growing a portfolio.
Temporary and permanent buydowns, down payment assistance up to $6,000, and clear answers on California's rent control and high-balance rules.
Tools
Six calculators in one place. Move a slider, change a rate, see the answer instantly. When the numbers look right, we'll run them for real, no credit pull, no commitment.
