Personal Side

Vic Joshi scuba diving

I’m an avid scuba diver and certified Rescue Diver. Eventually I’d like to become a dive instructor so I can share the joys of this ocean sport with others.

I give back to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Divers Alert Network (DAN), and the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS). I’m also a longtime Warriors fan.

Home Office

My home penthouse office is located on Telegraph Avenue in the Temescal neighborhood in Oakland, California, but I transact loans throughout California, Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Texas and Florida. I do my best to be available to talk or meet with clients whenever it works for their schedule.
