Why Work With Castle Funding
Our brokerage has been family-run since 1989 and is now led by the second generation. While the mortgage market has evolved, our philosophy has stayed the same: thoughtful guidance, careful preparation, and relationships that last well beyond closing.
As an independent mortgage broker, we compare options across multiple lenders and walk you through the tradeoffs so you can see what fits your goals, timeline, and comfort level. Many clients come to us after speaking with a bank and are surprised to see how loan structures and pricing can differ.
Whether you’re buying your first home or considering a refinance, you’ll receive the same care we’d offer our own family. 99% of our business comes from past clients and local realtors who value honest guidance.
Castle Funding is led by Ventura resident Alyssa Soles, a former educator who works closely with clients throughout California.
