Orange County, CA Debt Roles in CRE

Is anybody here familiar with Orange County, CA?, I am interested in continuing to work on the direct lending/debt side and I compiled a list of debt players in OC. I excluded small and regional banks/credit unions like pacific premier bank, pacific western bank, provident bank, opus bank etc. I figured there are over a 100 of those. I focused on large and mid size banks. My list so far is pretty heavy on the agency side with no life cos. I also notice that some of these are small satellite offices with just 3 or 4 people. Am I missing any other large companies? Note that I am pretty particular about working in OC and not LA or SD.

JP Morgan Chase (balance sheet multifamily lending)
Red/Orix/Hunt Real Estate Capital Group (Agency)
Freddie Mac (Agency)
Sabal Capital Partners (Agency,Bridge,CMBS)
Basis Investment Group (Agency, Bridge, CMBS)
Capital One Multifamily (Agency)
Wells Fargo (Agency, balance sheet CRE)
Walker & Dunlop (Agency)
Key Bank (balance sheet CRE)
CIBC (balance sheet CRE)
CBRE (Agency)
Berkeley Point Capital/Newmark (Agency)
Berkadia (Agency)
Greystone (Agency)
Ready Capital (Agency,Bridge,CMBS)

Appreciate any insights! Thank you.
