Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about partnering with BuilderConnect.

During the 30-day pilot, we assign a dedicated loan officer to your sales team. They'll handle buyer pre-approvals and work alongside your staff at model homes or sales offices. You'll receive weekly performance reports, and at the end, we'll review results together to decide if a formal partnership makes sense.
No. Your company pays no fee to join the 30-day pilot and signs no long-term contract. When the 30 days are up, we review the pilot with you and you decide whether to continue. If it isn't a fit, we part ways with no hard feelings.
We take on builder partners in Arizona, where our loan officer, Tanner Cook (NMLS #2090424), is based. Building somewhere else? Tell us where your communities are before any buyer applies. We'll check whether Cornerstone First Mortgage, LLC (NMLS #173855) holds a license in that state and whether a Cornerstone loan officer licensed there can take your buyers' loans, and we'll tell you plainly if not. Our state licenses are listed on our Licensing & Disclosures page.
Our goal is to review a complete application within 24 hours. When a buyer's income, asset and credit documents are all in hand, a pre-approval decision can often come the same day; files that need extra documentation take longer. A pre-approval is not a final loan approval.
We offer a full range of conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA loans. We also have access to specialized new construction programs, bridge financing, and portfolio products for unique situations. Each buyer gets a walkthrough of the programs that fit their situation, so they can compare them before choosing.
Any buyer you refer receives priority processing and a dedicated point of contact. We keep you informed throughout the process with status updates at key milestones. You'll always know where your buyers stand.
Often, yes. We have programs for a wide range of credit profiles, though not every buyer will qualify. Our loan officers are skilled at finding solutions and can also provide credit improvement guidance for buyers who need time to qualify.
Our partnership is built around how new homes are sold. We plan rate locks, completion appraisals and final inspections around your build calendar, your sales team gets one loan officer to call instead of a call center, and you hear about key buyer milestones without having to ask. You can judge the fit yourself during the 30-day pilot.
