First California Mortgage Company (First Cal) was an American mortgage lender based in Petaluma, California, that had branches in Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Texas, and Washington until the company was closed down. First Cal provided mortgage loans in these states plus Idaho, New Mexico and Oregon, and previously provided loans in 42 U.S. states.
As of 2013, First Cal had funded more than 300,000 home loans, mostly in California, and had a Better Business Bureau rating of A−. The company no longer has a rating and appears to no longer be in business.
Prior to its shutdown, First Cal offered purchased and refinance programs with a variety of loan programs, including FHA, VA, HomePath, and jumbo loans.
