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 must be licensed in SC or have a branch there. Then branch location, years licensed and profile completeness. Disciplinary actions lower the score and are always shown. No paid placement. Methodology.
Same list as JSON: /api/v1/loan-officers?specialty=new-construction&state=SC. Not a lender. Not a referral service. Verify licenses at NMLS Consumer Access.
