What is a Preferred Lender?
Homebuilders prefer Homebuyers to use a Preferred Lender for a number of reasons. Preferred Lenders are fully vetted, held accountable for their customer service and information they provide, required to update the Homebuilder regularly, and have a shared goal to do everything possible to ensure there are no delays with Closings. Unfortunately, with Outside Lenders, these priorities are often not the same, resulting in delayed closings, unhappy Buyers and additional carrying costs for the Builder.
Other Homebuilders will have an In-house Lender (their own mortgage company) as a separate “profit center” so they can make money off the Buyer twice through higher rates and fees, and then on the sell of the loan. This is the least ideal situation for a Homebuyer.
