If you are searching for a real estate agent in Upland, CA, here is the question most people never think to ask: who is handling the loan? The agent finds the house, then hands you to a lender you have never met — and the two rarely talk. John Abril removes that gap. He is a California real estate broker and a licensed mortgage broker — fewer than 6% of agents in the state can say that — so your Upland home search, your pre-approval, your offer, and your funding are one coordinated effort by one accountable person.

Upland real estate agent FAQs
How do I choose a real estate agent in Upland?
Look for local sales experience, fast communication, and ask how financing is handled. Most agents hand you to an outside lender — John is one of fewer than 6% of California agents who is also a licensed mortgage broker, so your Upland home search and your loan are handled by the same person, start to finish.
What does it cost to work with a real estate agent?
Commissions are fully negotiable and are discussed openly before you sign anything. In many purchases the seller offers compensation toward the buyer’s agent, and John walks you through exactly how it works in writing before you commit to anything.
Can John really handle both my home purchase and my mortgage?
Yes — John holds an active California real estate broker license (DRE #01060119) and a mortgage loan originator license (NMLS #280222) and runs his own brokerage. That means pre-approval, house hunting, offers, and funding are coordinated by one person, which usually means faster answers and fewer surprises.
