"By working more closely with builders, this team will help create stronger partnerships and open the door to more homeownership opportunities for borrowers. The new division will offer a package of residential and commercial financing solutions for builders and their customers, according to a press release. Products include builder construction loans, small-balance commercial loans, bridge loans, and fix-and-flip financing."
"For builders, a dedicated lender division can streamline financing for spec and presale homes, support rate buydown strategies and provide certainty of execution on delivery timelines. For real estate agents, stronger builder-lender ties can mean more structured incentives for buyers and clearer timelines from contract to close."
"As existing-home inventory remains tight and mortgage rates stay volatile, more lenders are investing in builder partnerships, construction lending, and forward commitments as a way to secure a consistent business pipeline and capture new-home market share."
CrossCountry Mortgage established a new Builder Division as part of its strategic commitment to expanding homeownership access. The division provides residential and commercial financing solutions including builder construction loans, small-balance commercial loans, bridge loans, fix-and-flip financing, and forward commitments allowing builders to lock in rates on future buyer loans. CrossCountry closed over $51 billion in volume in 2025 and financed one in 35 homes sold nationwide. Operating 700+ branches with 8,000+ employees across all 50 states, the company addresses industry trends where tight existing-home inventory and volatile mortgage rates drive lenders toward builder partnerships and construction lending to secure consistent pipelines and capture new-home market share.
