Buy Your New Home With Our Preferred Lender

April 12, 2026

Buying and building a new home is an exciting adventure, but it does have its stressors. Financing, with different deadlines, requirements, and documents, can be challenging. This is just one of many reasons why it makes sense to work with the builder’s preferred lender when it’s time to finance your new home.

It’s always a good idea to talk with multiple lenders to find the mortgage option that is best for you. However, when you are building a home, rather than purchasing a previously owned home, there is more involved and working with the preferred lender can reduce some of the headaches and confusion.

Preferred lenders, like Acrisure Mortgage, already have a close working relationship with the builder. This means they’re aware of the specifics involved in working with that builder and they can help to streamline the financing process while giving you clearer information throughout. Ultimately, there’s often a better chance of faster loan approval, too.

Because of the longer period involved in building a new home, they are also better situated to provide better rate lock-in periods to get you through the construction process. This helps to protect your interest rates from going up before closing. In addition, because these preferred lenders are familiar with the builder’s projects and work, they often have more flexible financing options and are better situated to provide higher approval rates.

Similarly, they’re often aware of any potential builder incentives, ranging from reduced closing costs to building upgrades. They will work with you to help you make the most of any available incentives. If there are incentives available, consider their long-term benefits when comparing with other lenders, as they can have a significant benefit.
