The Benefits of Working With Our Preferred LendersFinding the right home is only part of the journey—securing the right financing is just as important. Whether you’re purchasing your first home or your next, Empire Homes aims to make the experience feel smooth, supportive, and informed. One way we do that is through our network of preferred lenders.
A preferred lender is a mortgage provider who has an established working relationship with Empire Homes. They’ve been carefully selected for their knowledge, service, and experience helping buyers navigate the new home process. While you always have the option to work with any lender of your choosing, partnering with one of our preferred lenders can offer added advantages—both practical and personal.
1. Special Incentives & Flexible Financing
Working with a preferred lender may give you access to exclusive offers that aren’t always available elsewhere. These can include competitive interest rates, reduced closing costs, extended rate lock programs, or other tailored financing solutions that support your goals as a buyer. These added benefits can help simplify the process and make your path to homeownership feel more attainable.
2. New Build Experience & Industry Expertise
Financing a new build is different from buying a resale home. There are construction timelines to consider, specific approval steps, and important milestones along the way. Preferred lenders are familiar with how this process works—they know what’s needed and when, and can help you move through each phase with more clarity and less stress.
3. Aligned Communication & Coordination
Preferred lenders work directly with Empire Homes and are familiar with our communities, timelines, and processes. This built-in alignment allows for clear communication between all parties involved, helping to avoid delays and ensure a smoother closing. You’ll receive regular updates on your loan status and feel more supported throughout your homebuying experience.
4. Support You Can Count On
Your lender is an important part of your homebuying team. Our preferred lenders are committed to offering guidance, answering questions, and helping you feel confident every step of the way. They understand that buying a home is more than a transaction—it’s a milestone—and they’re here to help make it feel like one worth celebrating.
