Before you choose
Long closing timelines need extended rate locks, and builder incentives often push buyers toward a preferred lender.
- Can you offer an extended rate lock that covers the build timeline?
- How do you compare with the builder's preferred lender incentives?
- What happens if the completion date slips?
How this list is ranked
Specialty evidence carries the most weight (production data, then lender page, then self-reported). Loan officers are listed when a GA license is confirmed with the state regulator (check mark), GA is listed on their lender page, or they work at a bank or credit union (likely federally registered; verify at NMLS). Then branch location, experience (licensed since, per the regulator records we hold) and profile completeness. Disciplinary history is not yet checked by LenDb; verify at NMLS Consumer Access. No paid placement. Methodology.
