Why First Lending Solutions
Alan Vogan has worked in mortgage and real estate since 2001 and founded First Lending Solutions in Riverside in 2005. More than 20 years later, we’re still a local, independent company that treats every client like a neighbor.
- Veteran-led, VA-focused. Alan is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran. Helping veterans, service members and military families use the VA home loan benefit they earned is personal for us.
- Broker and lender in one. We work as both a mortgage broker and a mortgage lender, so we have more than one way to look for a loan that fits you.
- Personal service and direct access. Call our Riverside office and you reach our own team directly, not a call center. You’re welcome to meet with us in person, too.
- We work with your Realtor. We keep you, your real estate agent and escrow updated from offer to closing, so nobody is left guessing.
- Trusted by our clients. Rated 5.0 stars from 308 Google reviews (as of October 2026).
