Days — extended rate lock window required for new construction timelines
WAKE FOREST MARKET
New construction financing is fundamentally different from resale. Builder timelines shift. Closings can be pushed 30 to 90 days without notice. If your rate lock expires, you absorb the market risk. Jeff structures new construction loans with extended rate lock options, builder-direct coordination, and the experience to navigate what most lenders consider too complex.
HOW IT WORKS
Extended rate locks (60–180 days)
Builder timelines don't conform to standard 30–60 day locks. Jeff structures extended locks that protect your rate while construction completes.
Builder-direct coordination
Jeff works directly with builder closing teams — minimizing the friction and miscommunication that delays new construction closings.
Jumbo-eligible for Hasentree price points
Hasentree homes above $806,500 require jumbo financing. Jeff handles both conventional and jumbo new construction in a single transaction.

COMMON QUESTIONS
A new construction mortgage in Wake Forest is structured around the builder's timeline. You get pre-approved, lock your rate for an extended period (60–180 days depending on the build schedule), and close when the certificate of occupancy is issued. Jeff coordinates directly with the builder's closing team throughout the process.

Yes. Jeff offers extended rate locks for new construction purchases — typically 90 to 180 days — to protect your rate while the home is built. The cost of an extended lock is factored into your rate quote upfront so there are no surprises.
This is common. Jeff anticipates timeline shifts when structuring your loan and builds flexibility into the rate lock terms. If a construction delay occurs, he works with the rate lock desk to extend rather than relock at a new market rate.
