I am a self-motivated, entrepreneur, home loan officer dedicated to my vision of success through impeccable customer service, relentless perseverance and commitment to honesty. I pride myself in creating an atmosphere of exceptional employee moral through leadership, teamwork and the capability, as well as the aspiration, to never stop learning.

As a National and State licensed, top producing home loan officer I help anyone and everyone looking for any type of residential home loan. I specialize in First Time Home Buyers and all other Purchase Money transactions. If you are looking to buy or refinance a new primary residence, 2nd home, vacation home, or investment property I can show you the best home loan to fit your needs and budget.
Why Choose Granite West Funding?
What sets us apart from other mortgage companies in California?
We offer a wide selection of traditional lending products as well as non-QM niche products. We can help you buy a manufactured home, apply for a mortgage without tax returns, or qualify for a loan without a perfect credit score.
Buying a home is a complex process. One of the most complicated parts of this process is acquiring a home loan. We will make sure you understand every part of the loan process, from the initial pre-qualification, to the selection of the best mortgage for your personal situation, to making sure you get the best interest rate available, to making sure you close your escrow on time. We can also answer questions related to real estate or real estate financing.
If you are on a rushed schedule, we can close rapidly so that the lending process is completed on time. During your consultation, we can talk about your schedule and inform you of the expected timeline for completion of the process.
When you work with us, you are trusting us with one of the most important financial events of your life. We want you to be informed and comfortable through the entire process, and always to know the status of your loan. To that end, we are transparent and communicative at all times.
We are thinking about the future, just as you are, and hope that you will become a lifetime customer. We will always be here to answer questions and support you with your home financing needs.

This is our second loan with Mr. Pence and his team. The first was a very involved process regarding a new primary residence in expensive Santa Barbara. The local lenders were unable to secure financing for the purchase and with near perfect credit scores, and with 2 Doctors as purchasers. Enter Pence and team. Commitment to Excellence, Diligence, and Professionalism. Thinking out of the box. After securing financing, the local multimillion dollar home realtors were left scratching their heads and asking “Who is this guy?” Here’s the answer: A team of professional mortgage Brokers who will work tirelessly with you, NEVER give up, and make the whole process of producing a blizzard of documents, as easy as it can be. Buying and refinancing can be a daunting process. Let the “We will make it happen” Team at Granite be your first and only stop if you are looking for financing of the American Dream!Jeffrey J.

Drew Pence at Granite West Funding was amazing to work with. As first time home buyers, we had a ton of questions and Drew was always there to answer them, no matter what time we called. What we liked about Drew the most was that he always gave us his honest opinion like a “real” person, not someone just trying to get our business. He really made us feel comfortable every step of the way. We would definitely recommend Drew for any of your needs and he will be the first person we call when we’re ready to re-fi or buy again.

Andrew and the staff did a good job in getting the loan interest I wanted and in expediting the process with help all the way through the process. This is the second time I used them to purchase a home and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Our Lender Andrew was amazing and he without a doubt was the reason our escrow closed successfully. We originally had another lender and days before escrow was to close our loan fell through. You can imagine how scary that was. Thank goodness the sellers agent had Andrew as contact, he was able to come in days before our original escrow was to close and only add on an additional couple of weeks and make our loan happen. He was professional, friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and handled every timeline that had to be met with ease. We would recommend him without a doubt.

I had a very good experience with the group at Granite West. Andrew Pence went above and beyond to help us navigate some difficult hurdles on the road to refinance. We got a good deal at a great interest rate. Saving money already! and are able to do some much needed maintenance and upgrades. I am a happy camper. Thank you very much!!

Andrew and the entire team at Granite West have been great. Even during the shut down Andrew kept me informed during the process of my refinance. He jumped on it right away and got me a percentage rate that has saved me several hundred dollars a month. I’m glad they are here in our small town!

Our experience with Granite West Funding was very positive with attentive and punctual communication throughout the entire loan process. We are grateful for their exceptional service and expertise in processing our loan, especially since we were out of state which necessitated almost all documents being transferred electronically. Thank you for all your hard work to make our dream come true!
