Why Choose a Jumbo Loan in Richmond?
Richmond’s real estate market is rich with exceptional properties, from historic estates to modern luxury homes.

What is a jumbo loan?
A jumbo loan is a mortgage that exceeds the conforming loan limits set by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
For most of Virginia, the conforming loan limit for a single-family home in 2025 is $806,500. A jumbo loan is required for any mortgage amount above this threshold. These loans are specifically designed to finance luxury homes and estates, giving you the flexibility to purchase in Richmond's most prestigious neighborhoods.
Why Choose a Jumbo Loan for Your Richmond Home?
Richmond is a city of historic charm and modern growth, and its high-end real estate market reflects that unique character. A jumbo loan is the key to unlocking these premier properties. With a jumbo loan from Sparrow Home Loans, you can:
- Access a Wider Range of Properties: Finance the purchase of a larger home or a property in a highly desirable area that would otherwise be out of reach with a conventional mortgage.
- Secure Competitive Financing: Jumbo loans offer competitive interest rates, which can be similar to those of conforming loans, allowing you to secure a favorable financing solution for your luxury purchase.
- Experience Local Expertise: We understand the nuances of the Richmond real estate market and can provide tailored advice and support throughout your home buying journey.
The jumbo loan process can be more complex than a standard mortgage, but with our dedicated team at Sparrow Home Loans, it doesn't have to be. We provide a seamless, efficient, and transparent experience.
While jumbo loans typically have stricter requirements, such as a higher credit score, larger down payment, and a solid financial history with sufficient cash reserves, our specialists will work closely with you to ensure you are well-prepared.
We'll guide you through each requirement, from documentation to closing, so you can move forward with confidence.

Mortgage Planning
I understand that every family's financial situation is unique. Mortgage is not a one size fits all. I want to truly understand your puzzle and help you decide how we put that puzzle together.

I take all of my clients through upfront underwriting to ensure you have piece of mind when shopping for your dream home.

Whether you're buying your very first home or your forever home, I’m here to walk you through the process, answer your questions, and make sure you feel confident every step of the way.
I work closely with your realtor to make sure your offer is strong, competitive, and aligns with your goals. When it’s time to make an offer, I’ll personally call the listing agent to back it up—because when the listing agent (and sellers!) know there’s an experienced lender on board who will actually communicate with them throughout the process, it gives them peace of mind (and gives you a leg up!).
Behind the scenes, my powerhouse team helps make it all happen
seamlessly.
Our tight-knit crew includes:
