Buying a Home in California Just Got Easier

Many buyers don’t realize they may qualify for down payment assistance or grant programs designed to reduce the upfront costs of purchasing a home. These programs can help with down payments or closing costs and may be available at the city, county, or state level—depending on eligibility and location.

With hundreds of programs across California, knowing which ones are legitimate and applicable to your situation can feel overwhelming. That’s where guidance matters.

My role is to help you understand your options clearly, identify programs that align with your goals, and walk you through each step of the process alongside trusted lenders. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or returning to the market, I’m here to help you move forward with confidence, clarity, and support—without pressure or confusion.

I'm Alicia Valencia, your dedicated Realtor with Coldwell Banker Dynasty, and I'm laser-focused on helping you access incredible home buying opportunities across California.

Buying a home in California can feel overwhelming—especially with rising prices and upfront costs.
