Founded in 1997, Janus Mortgage in Carlsbad serves the El Camino Real corridor under NMLS #1690954 and California DRE License #02038085, with a product lineup spanning conventional, FHA, VA, jumbo, reverse mortgage, and non-QM programs. The firm's reverse mortgage division underwrites Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) and proprietary reverse products for homeowners aged 55 and older, transactions that require title searches and lien-position verification through escrow partners on the North County corridor, including Ticor Title Company. A BBB A+ accreditation held since 2002 documents an unbroken compliance record across more than 20 continuous years of mortgage brokerage in the Carlsbad market. Non-QM products include bank-statement programs, asset-depletion qualification, and interest-only structures for self-employed borrowers and retirees whose income doesn't conform to agency guidelines. Mortgage interest deduction planning is a factor in most purchase and refinance decisions, and the firm's clients coordinate tax-impact analysis with area CPAs, including La Costa Tax & Accounting in the La Costa corridor. The highest-value originations involve proprietary jumbo reverse mortgages on Carlsbad coastal properties where the home value exceeds the FHA HECM lending limit, requiring custom actuarial calculations based on borrower age and appraised equity.
