More Than Two Decades of Hometown Home Loans: Riverside’s First Lending Solutions Continues Serving Inland Empire Families

RIVERSIDE, Calif., Oct. 16, 2026: 1st Lending Solutions, Inc. DBA First Lending Solutions (NMLS #135932) is an independent mortgage company headquartered at 3610 Central Ave Suite 400, Riverside, CA 92506. Founded in 2005, the company has spent more than two decades helping Inland Empire homebuyers, veterans and homeowners explore financing options for their goals. The company is led by CEO Alan Vogan, a United States Marine Corps veteran, California-licensed real estate broker (DRE #01373250) and mortgage loan originator (NMLS #236124), who has worked in the industry since 2001 and first became licensed in California real estate in 2003.

A company built on duty and plain talk

Alan Vogan founded 1st Lending Solutions in Riverside in 2005. He brought the same discipline and sense of duty he learned in the United States Marine Corps. His goal was simple: give Inland Empire families a lender who explains every step plainly, answers the phone, and treats each loan like a mission that has to be completed right. More than twenty years later, that commitment still guides the company, from first-time buyers to the veterans Alan feels a special responsibility to serve.

Today, First Lending Solutions offers Conventional, VA, FHA and USDA home loans for purchase and refinance. The company’s approach centers on giving each borrower a clear point of contact who knows the file from application through closing, so clients are not handed off while making one of the largest financial decisions of their lives.

A reputation built on responsiveness

Buying a home has many moving parts, and the company focuses on the parts it controls: answering calls, explaining options plainly and keeping borrowers, agents and other parties informed. Client reviews frequently mention quick responses, clear explanations and consistent support through closing. As of October 16, 2026, First Lending Solutions’ Google Business Profile shows a 5.0-star average rating from 307 reviews, and its Zillow lender profile shows an average rating of 4.98 out of 5 from 82 reviews.

Serving those who served

Veterans and military families are a core part of the company’s work, and for Vogan, a Marine Corps veteran, that work is personal. First Lending Solutions helps eligible veterans, active-duty service members and eligible surviving spouses explore the VA home loan benefit they have earned. VA loans are made by private lenders, are partially guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and require eligibility. VA and USDA loans may offer flexible down-payment options for eligible borrowers, subject to program and lender requirements. Many veterans are not sure whether they qualify or whether they have already used their benefit, and the company takes time to walk them through eligibility and their options.

An ongoing commitment

First Lending Solutions remains committed to the people it has served since 2005, especially veterans, military families and first-time homebuyers. The company continues to focus on plain explanations, responsive service and careful attention to every file, so that each borrower understands the process and knows what comes next.
