CalHFA Dream For All assistance repays as no-interest, no-monthly-payment shared appreciation (15–20% based on income) when you sell, transfer, or refinance. SF DALP helps Daly City residents buy in San Francisco — DALP-funded properties must be located in the City and County of San Francisco, not in Daly City itself.
Daly City sits at the SF border, making it one of the most competitive markets in NorCal. Presto closes here regularly and knows the lenders, appraisers, and escrow companies who move fastest. Mariane's Filipino community roots run deep here — her reputation carries weight with local real estate agents.
"This is home — literally. I know every lender, every escrow, every agent who moves fast here. When our clients are buying in Daly City, they have every advantage."

CalHFA Dream For All assistance repays as no-interest, no-monthly-payment shared appreciation (15–20% based on income) when you sell, transfer, or refinance.
Sacramento offers far more buying power per dollar than the Bay Area. Elk Grove is particularly strong for Filipino and Filipino-American families relocating from the Bay. Presto has closed dozens of loans in this market. CalHFA is highly active here and Presto is pre-approved to move fast.
"Sacramento is where I send buyers who have good credit but need room to breathe on price. Elk Grove especially — I've closed a lot of loans there for families coming from the Bay. The CalHFA activity here is real and we move fast."

San Jose is one of NorCal's most competitive markets. Buyers need fast pre-approvals and strong lender relationships to win offers. Presto's speed-close process is built for exactly this environment. CalHFA Dream For All is available here for qualifying buyers.
"In San Jose, the offer wins or loses in the first 24 hours. That's exactly why I built the speed-close process — so our buyers show up to the table with a pre-approval that agents actually trust."

Affordable Central Valley market. Strong FHA activity. Commuter corridor to Bay Area.
CalHFA Dream For All assistance repays as no-interest, no-monthly-payment shared appreciation (15–20% based on income) when you sell, transfer, or refinance — and pairs only with CalHFA's conventional first mortgage, not FHA.
Stockton is one of the most affordable markets in NorCal with strong FHA loan activity. Many Bay Area commuters buy here for the price point. CalHFA is very active in San Joaquin County and Presto has extensive experience with FHA + CalHFA combinations in this market.
"People underestimate Stockton. I've helped families get into homes here for half of what they'd pay in Contra Costa. FHA plus CalHFA in this market is a powerful combination — and the commute math still works."

Vallejo offers North Bay access at Central Valley prices — a combination that attracts a lot of first-time buyers who work in SF but can't afford SF prices. CalHFA Dream For All is active in Solano County and Presto is prepared to serve buyers here.
"Vallejo is the quiet opportunity in NorCal right now. North Bay access, Bay Area wages, Central Valley prices. The buyers I'm seeing come here have done the math — and the math is right."

Fresno is the most affordable path to homeownership in NorCal. USDA loans are available in many surrounding areas (zero down payment). FHA and CalHFA are both highly active. For buyers with challenging credit, the 90-Day Path + Fresno market combination is one of the fastest paths to ownership in California.
"If price is the biggest obstacle, Fresno is where I start the conversation. USDA zero-down in the surrounding areas, CalHFA active in the county, and prices that actually work for California incomes. This is a real path."
