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 HI license is confirmed with the state regulator (check mark), HI 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 (the earliest state license record in the regulator rosters we hold, or years the loan officer states) and profile completeness. Disciplinary history is not yet checked by LenDb; verify at NMLS Consumer Access. No paid placement. Methodology.
