Justin Berteaux, Planet Home Lending

Given nearly two decades’ experience in mortgages that began after he earned his bachelor’s in international business from Santa Clara University, Justin Berteaux’s borrowers and real estate partners are fortunate to work with him. “I grew up in Silicon Valley and I live right here in South County,” said Justin, retail branch manager of Planet Home Lending in Morgan Hill. Because Planet Home Lending is a direct lender, Justin and his team of eight other mortgage professionals are able to access a full suite of mortgage products for each transaction. “It’s realistic to say that a mortgage is most people’s greatest investment and that trust is extremely important,” said Justin. “Real estate agents and borrowers have to like working with you and feel confident you know what you’re doing and that you’ll always do what’s in their best interest.” Real estate partners know that, between his knowledge, experience and the products available through Planet Home Lending, Justin knows how to find the right loans for borrowers. Meanwhile, in Silicon Valley’s competitive real estate landscape, time is of the essence. “Here, it’s not the ‘New York minute’ but the ‘Silicon Valley second,’” he says, adding that honesty remains his top priority. If a client requests a refinance and Justin doesn’t believe that doing so is in their best interest, he’d rather turn down the business than see them make an unsound decision.
