What is a super jumbo loan?
A super jumbo loan is a mortgage for amounts well above standard jumbo thresholds, used to finance high-value and luxury properties. Because these loans exceed the limits that agencies and typical jumbo programs allow, they're underwritten by portfolio and private lenders who look closely at your complete financial picture: income, assets, liquidity, and reserves. Super jumbo borrowers are often high-net-worth individuals with complex finances, and the loans can be tailored more than a conventional mortgage.
Key takeaways
High-value and luxury homes call for financing that understands complex income, significant assets, and larger loan sizes. Our team helps high-net-worth buyers across the communities we serve secure super jumbo financing that goes beyond standard jumbo limits, with discretion and a structure built around your full financial picture. We specialize in loans that are tough to close, and we shop a broad network of lenders to find the right one.
Lending Built for High-Value Homes
When a property's price pushes past standard jumbo territory, financing stops being a checklist and becomes a tailored conversation. Super jumbo loans serve luxury and high-value homes, and they're underwritten by lenders who understand sophisticated finances, significant assets, and larger loan sizes. Our team brings that lending to high-net-worth buyers with the discretion the situation deserves. Where other lenders stop, we keep working.
Beyond Standard Jumbo
Standard conforming loans follow agency limits, and jumbo loans pick up above them. Super jumbo goes further still, into the loan sizes that most banks won't handle on their own. These loans typically live in a lender's portfolio, which means the underwriting is relationship-driven and can be more flexible than a one-size-fits-all program.
How Underwriting Looks at You
Super jumbo lenders evaluate the whole financial picture, not just a pay stub:
- Income — Including complex, self-employed, or investment income
- Assets and liquidity — Significant reserves and diversified holdings
- Overall balance sheet — Net worth, existing obligations, and stability
Because the picture is complex, presentation matters. We package your file so the strength of your finances is clear and the process stays smooth.
Tailored Structures
Super jumbo financing can often be customized in ways conventional loans can't, from how income and assets are counted to the loan structure itself. For borrowers with substantial but non-traditional finances, that flexibility is the whole point. We match your profile to the lender best suited to it.
Discretion Throughout
High-net-worth clients value privacy, and we handle every file with discretion and care. You get a clear process, straight answers, and a team that treats you like a client for life.

Frequently asked questions
How is a super jumbo loan different from a jumbo loan?
Jumbo loans sit above conforming agency limits, and super jumbo goes further into loan sizes most banks won't handle alone. Super jumbo is typically portfolio lending with more tailored, relationship-driven underwriting. We'll match your loan size to the right lender.
Can complex or self-employed income qualify?
Yes. Super jumbo lenders are used to sophisticated finances and evaluate your whole picture, including self-employed, investment, and asset-based income. We package the file to present that strength clearly.
How much down payment or reserves are expected?
These loans generally expect meaningful reserves and a substantial down payment, though structures vary by lender and profile. Ask our team for the current figures based on your situation.
Is the process discreet?
Yes. We handle high-net-worth files with discretion and care, keeping the process private, clear, and efficient from application to closing.
Can I use a super jumbo loan for a second home?
Often yes. Super jumbo financing can apply to primary residences, second homes, and certain luxury investment properties, depending on the lender. We'll match your occupancy and profile to the right program.
