La Jolla, Coronado, and the biotech corridor — a straightforward drive up I-5 for appraisal, or an insured-courier arrangement for clients who'd rather not make the trip.
San Diego's collector base skews biotech and defense-contracting wealth — La Jolla and Del Mar in particular — plus a steady Coronado and Rancho Santa Fe presence. A fair share of the loans we write here are bridge capital ahead of a liquidity event: a Series B close, an acquisition earnout, a stock-option exercise window that doesn't line up with when the cash is actually needed.
The I-5 drive to our Santa Monica or Baldwin Park locations runs about two hours outside rush hour, which most clients treat as a normal part of the process rather than a dealbreaker — bring the piece, get it appraised, drive home with a funded loan the same day on approved amounts. For clients who'd rather skip the drive entirely, insured courier is available for straightforward pieces with clean documentation.

Two-hour reply during business hours with a preliminary range. In-person appraisal sets the final number.
