Get Pre-Qualified
Getting pre-qualified is the first step to financing your Adair Homes custom build, during which your Loan Officer will help educate you on the financing options available as well as what to expect from the home financing process.
Your Loan Officer will discuss the particulars of your loan, explain the process, and answer any questions that you might have.
Complete the online loan application and upload the documents needed. Your Loan Officer will go over the specific documents you will need to provide during your phone consultation.
Your Loan Officer will review the items submitted, pull credit, and issue your pre-qualification within 2 business days. If you do not qualify or additional information is needed, your Loan Officer will reach out and offer guidance regarding the steps you can take to get you pre-qualified.
Along with your Pre-Qualification Letter, your Loan Officer will send you an estimate of your loan terms, closing costs, monthly payment and cash to close, so you’ll know exactly what to expect when it comes to financing your custom build.
Start the Home Design Process!
Now that you’re pre-qualified, you’ll continue on to what many consider to be the most exciting part of the Adair Homes design process - choosing the custom designs of your Adair home to truly make it yours. And when you're ready, it’s time to sign your Adair Homes contract.
The Pre-Construction Meeting
During this meeting, you'll meet your entire Adair Homes building team and a property evaluation will be scheduled so our team can ensure feasibility. We will also ensure everything is exactly the way you want it and your team will go through your plans with you item-by-item, room-by room.
The Loan Process Begins
Once the pre-construction meeting has occurred and you have an Adair written home order, your lender can really begin working with your loan. Within the first two weeks, your lender will:
▲
Gather any updated items that are needed from you to move your file forward.
▲
Create an estimated site budget.
▲
Send out your initial loan disclosures.
▲
Order the title work for your property.
▲
Order your appraisal.

If you are bringing funds to closing, you will be instructed on how much to wire in for cash to close. This amount often isn’t known until the day before closing, so you may need to take a quick trip to the bank the morning of the signing.

During closing, you’ll sign final loan documents with your settlement agent or notary.
