Finance building your dream home in 4 simple steps

Step 1
Talk to a mortgage loan officer.
  • A mortgage loan officer will help you determine what works best for you and if you need to buy land with the loan.
  • Our mortgage team will help you get pre-qualified and apply for your loan.
Step 2
Finalize plans with your builder.
  • Before we can help you close the loan, we’ll need you to finalize your plans and specs with your builder.
  • Once finalized, we’ll create a “draw schedule,” which will pay the builder from your loan.
Step 3
Close your loan.
  • Once approved, your construction loan will move to closing, where all documents will be signed and you’ll pay your closing costs and any required down payment.
Step 4
Start building.
  • After you’ve closed, your builder is ready to break ground! We’ll help you streamline the building process through our partner, Built, an online accounting platform to help you pay your builder more easily from the loan.
  • When your home is almost finished, your mortgage loan officer will help you refinance your construction loan to a permanent mortgage.
