A Little
About Ed Parcaut
Born in Burlingame, California, Ed Parcaut moved multiple times between California and Colorado during his childhood. Therefore, he is a die hard Bronco Fan. After his father’s death, Ed wound up in Turlock, California. During high school he would work on his grandfather’s dairy. Which helped him learn many trades and realized this would not be the path for him.
He enlisted in the Navy as a Hospital Corpsman to see the world and got to see San Diego, CA. After 18 months in the Navy, it came time to choose a specialty. He ended up studying physical therapy and Emergency Medicine. During the rest of service, he went to college getting a bachelor’s degree in marketing and a master’s in international business and marketing.
After getting out of the Navy, he gave the tech world a try before realizing it was not for him. He turned to work for his neighbor’s mortgage company, which is what stuck. Ed’s love for numbers and helping people have kept him in the mortgage field ever since.

Felt like a breeze. Staff was friendly and respectful. Would recommend highly 🙂 I had move jobs multiple times and they found ways around it without requiring to much documents. We went through a couple of mortgage companies and this is by far the best I have ever been through 🙂

Everyone at Lending for Living was fantastic in helping us purchase our second home. It was challenging because we had changed jobs a few times and already had a mortgage payment as well as student loan payments. They worked with the underwriter to make sure we got our financing and good terms as well. We hope to work with them again in the future!

What a fabulous experience I had with Lending for Living. Ed was friendly and knowledgeable. Right from the start, the cards were face up on the table. Ed was clear, and straight to the point with options. He made my feel confident, and trusting, with the process. But we’re talking about Ed here… comes to be expected from the owner of the business. Even though it’s not always so. Where Lending for Living really separates themselves from others, is the entire team demonstrates the same effort! I worked seamlessly with the staff to complete my loan. Fabiola in particular. Wow! Precise and prompt, to say the least. What she said, is what she did. When she said she would do it… is when it was done. Not once, not twice, but every time, without question. I never had to wonder. That was huge for me, in a time dependent situation as loans are. I would recommend Lending for Living to anyone who wants, hard working, experienced people to assist in purchasing a home. Not a doubt in my mind, when I make another purchase, their phone will be ringing. Much appreciation I have toward Lending for Living and the Team behind them! Thank you!!
