Claire Donovan.
Founder and senior loan officer · First-time buyers
Claire opened Larkspur in 2011 after five years pricing loans inside a big bank — and watching good borrowers get one quote, take it or leave it. Her files are mostly first purchases in North Park, Chula Vista and La Mesa: FHA and low-down conventional loans where the buyer's biggest need is a straight answer, fast.
She is famous locally for the one-hour letter refresh. Outbid on Friday night? New letter to your agent before Saturday's open house. Her 2025 files averaged 19 days to close.
