About Kathy Zickenberg

Homebridge Financial Services Mortgage Loan Originator in California
I have worked in the mortgage industry as a Mortgage Loan Originator for 14 years. My team consists of 4 professionals with extensive knowledge of the mortgage industry and are available to assist you with determining the right home loan for your situation. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer with limited cash to work with, a seasoned investor, or retired and looking to downsize, our team has the knowledge to help you make the best decision, keeping in mind your short and long-term goals.

Prior to joining Homebridge, I was an operating room nurse for 17 years before deciding to switch to the mortgage industry where I still take care of folks — just in a different way. I have lived in East County for over 25 years, have raised a family here, and now share my time with my husband of 30 years and my dog, Lily.  Come in to our office any day and she will greet you at the door!

I enjoy helping first-time homebuyers get into a home that they never thought they would own, and ultimately make their homeownership dreams a reality. I also appreciate working with investors looking to grow their financial portfolio with real estate. My attention to detail and compassionate nature have contributed to my success in the industry. I am known for making myself available throughout the loan process and am attentive to each of my client’s needs and goals.

Our branch offers mortgage loans for purchase and refinance, including FHA, VA, Conventional, 203(k) Renovation loans, commercial loans and Reverse Mortgages.
