About Jeff Bochsler
With over 20 years of experience in the mortgage industry, I've seen just about everything—from booming markets to unexpected downturns. But one thing has always remained clear: people need homes. Helping you find the right home financing isn't just a transaction—it's a meaningful step toward building stronger communities.
I graduated from Santa Clara University with a degree in Economics and a passion for empowering others. My journey into the mortgage world was inspired by a women's studies course that opened my eyes to how micro-loans could transform communities. Originally planning to join the Peace Corps and help in microfinance, I found my way to the mortgage industry instead, helping people right here at home.
As Branch Manager and SVP of Mortgage Lending at Rate, one of the nation's top lenders, I offer a wide range of loan products, including Conforming, Jumbo, FHA, VA, HELOCs, and more. I specialize in making the mortgage process smooth, transparent, and stress-free, ensuring my clients feel confident every step of the way. With cutting-edge digital tools and loan closings in as fast as 10 days, I tailor solutions to fit your unique goals—whether you're asking, "What can I afford?" or exploring refinancing options.
When I'm not helping clients, I'm enjoying life in Santa Barbara with my wife, Jen, and our two kids. Whether I'm trail running at sunrise, playing pickleball, or diving into spreadsheets for fun, I embrace both work and life with enthusiasm.
Whether you're ready to buy now or just starting to dream about it, I'm here to answer your questions and guide you every step of the way. Call, email, or join my newsletter — we can have a conversation about where you stand and what's possible.
