Navigating Jumbo Loans: A Broker’s Guide to High-Value Transactions

July 30, 2025
Navigating Jumbo Loans

As of mid-2025, navigating jumbo loans is part of everyday life for brokers working in high-cost markets. The median U.S. home price hit $440,892 in May, and in cities like Seattle, Boston, and San Diego, the average home price is well above $1 million. Jumbo financing isn’t reserved for luxury buyers anymore. In many cases, it’s the only option on the table in the current market. 

That’s why LendSure’s newly expanded Jumbo loan program is key right now. It gives brokers like you more ways to make deals work in a market where options feel limited. 

Why Jumbo Loans Are Showing Up More Often 

Tight inventory and rising prices have pulled more borrowers into jumbo territory, many of whom wouldn’t have needed it a few years ago. At the same time, traditional loan programs don’t always fit the way today’s buyers earn and manage money. You’re likely working with clients who are self-employed, juggling multiple properties, or looking to keep cash on hand instead of putting more into a down payment. 

Navigating jumbo loans means figuring out how to serve those borrowers without adding friction or delays. LendSure’s approach gives brokers more flexibility, whether you’re working with an investor, a first-time luxury buyer, or someone who just doesn’t check all the usual boxes. 

What Makes LendSure’s Jumbo Loan Program Different 

LendSure’s Jumbo loan program is designed with flexibility and speed in mind, two things that are absolutely huge when navigating Jumbo loans in today’s market. The program now supports loan amounts up to $3.5 million, with a range of options based on loan size and LTV.  

 For example, borrowers can go up to: 

  • 90% LTV on loans up to $1 million 
  • 85% LTV on loans up to $2 million 
  • 80% LTV on loans up to $2.5 million 
  • 75% LTV on loans up to $3 million 
  • 70% LTV on loans up to $3.5 million 

 That same flexibility applies to refinances, including cash-out up to $1 million, depending on loan size and LTV. Whether your client is purchasing, refinancing, or pulling equity to reinvest, LendSure’s Jumbo options help brokers structure smarter, more competitive loans. 

 Documentation is just as flexible. LendSure allows borrowers to qualify using 12- or 24-month bank statements and asset depletion, giving brokers multiple paths to get deals done, especially when navigating Jumbo loans for clients with complex income or portfolios. 

 Speed matters too. LendSure delivers common-sense pre-qualifications within 24 hours, and full packages can close in as few as 10 days. Already have an appraisal? Great, we’ll use it. That level of responsiveness is key when navigating Jumbo loans in fast-paced markets.
