CalPERS Loan Officers and The Benefits They Provide

CalPERS loan officers have all completed in-depth training. The members of CalPERS are given the best service, lowest loan options and interest rates. That being said all CalPERS Loan officers are trained and must complete all workshops and classes before being able to offer loans under this program.

Both the lender and borrow benefit tremendously. New streams of revenue are opened up for the loan officer while the consumer gets the best mortgages available.

All CalPERS mortgage brokers must complete the entire standard training courses as well several advanced courses. After they have completed the workshops they will then be given a knowledge test. This test is to determine if they have absorbed the information presented within the courses.

If the loan officer passes the test they have become a certified CalPERS loan officer. This means that they will be able to use referrals directly from Citi Mortgage. The loan office though must meet a quota, however it usually is not difficult due to the extreme benefits received by the borrowers such as low down payments. Some other great benefits of working with a CalPERS loan officer include:

• Discounted Lender Fee - Most conventional loan officers will charge a $500-$800 processing fee, CalPERS caps this at $350.
• Competitive Rates- CalPERS offers both purchase and refinance mortgages.
• Loans up to $ 729,750- These loans have the same great rates as loans under $400,000
• Offers FHA Loans- CalPERS offers these loans with only a 3.5% down payment and that can come from retirement.
