What Is the Dream For All Program?

CalHFA’s Dream For All program helps eligible first-time homebuyers overcome one of the biggest
barriers to homeownership — the down payment.

Qualified buyers may receive:

  • Up to 20% down payment assistance (maximum of $150,000)
  • No monthly payments required on the assistance portion
  • The ability to buy sooner without waiting years to save
  • Access to homeownership that may have previously felt out of reach

To qualify, you must:

  • Be a first-time homebuyer
  • Have at least one first-generation homebuyer on the loan
  • Be a current California resident
  • Meet CalHFA income limits for the county you’re purchasing in
  • Register during the official program window and be selected

Because funds are limited and distributed through a randomized selection

From My Family to Yours

With over a decade of experience helping families and individuals find their perfect home, I bring both professional expertise and a personal touch to the process. I understand that buying a home is more than a transaction—it’s one of life’s biggest milestones. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or searching for your forever home, I’m committed to guiding you every step of the way with honesty, patience, and dedication.

My journey hasn’t been without challenges. After surviving a brain tumor and undergoing more than 17 surgeries—including having to relearn how to walk—I’ve gained a deep appreciation for resilience and perseverance. Now, as a husband and soon-to-be father living in beautiful San Diego, I’m more motivated than ever to help others achieve their dreams of homeownership.

When you work with me, you’re not just gaining an agent—you’re partnering with someone who truly understands the value of home, family, and determination.
