El Paso County Real Estate + Mortgage Savings

Get to Know the Broker Owner

Meet Ron Mast, Broker Owner of Prime Home Team and Ultimate Mortgage, and the creator of the Prime Buyer Advantage.

Prime Home Team was built around a simple idea: home buyers and sellers should have a clearer, more cost‑conscious way to make real estate decisions.

Ron Mast is the Broker Owner of Prime Home Team and the Broker Owner of Ultimate Mortgage. By owning both companies and personally structuring the real estate + mortgage model, Ron created the Prime Buyer Advantage to help qualified buyers reduce certain lender fees, compare mortgage costs, and plan for future listing savings.

A different kind of role, on both sides of the transaction

Ron Mast is the Broker Owner of Prime Home Team and the Broker Owner of Ultimate Mortgage. His role is different from the typical real estate or mortgage setup because he is connected to both sides of the transaction: the real estate purchase and the mortgage financing.

That structure is what makes the Prime Buyer Advantage possible. Instead of treating the real estate and mortgage process as two completely separate experiences, Ron built a model designed to help buyers compare the full cost of buying a home, reduce certain lender fees, and think ahead to future selling costs.

Why the Prime Buyer Advantage Exists

Most home buyers are used to the traditional process: choose a real estate agent, get referred to a lender, compare homes, apply for a mortgage, and hope the costs make sense. Ron believed there could be a better way.

Because Prime Home Team and Ultimate Mortgage are connected through common ownership, the process can be structured differently — a real estate + mortgage savings model designed to help qualified buyers reduce certain lender fees, compare mortgage options, and plan for long-term value.

The Prime Buyer Advantage was created to help buyers:

Real Estate and Mortgage Under One Ownership Model

Ron is the Broker Owner of both Prime Home Team and Ultimate Mortgage. This matters because it creates a more efficient structure than the typical model where the real estate company and mortgage company are completely separate.

The Prime Buyer Advantage comes from that structure. Because Ultimate Mortgage does not operate with the same loan officer cost structure as many traditional lenders, Ultimate Mortgage does not charge a 1% loan origination fee and does not charge a lender processing fee.

For buyers, this creates a clearer way to compare lender fees, mortgage pricing, cash to close, and long-term value.

Buyers are never required to use Ultimate Mortgage. Buyers may choose any lender. The Prime Buyer Advantage applies when a buyer uses Prime Home Team for the real estate purchase and Ultimate Mortgage for financing. Because the companies are connected through common ownership, buyers should receive the appropriate affiliated business arrangement disclosure as part of the process.

A Practical, Numbers-First Approach to Buying and Selling

Ron’s approach is based on the idea that buyers and sellers should understand the numbers before making major decisions. A home purchase is not just about the property. A home sale is not just about the list price.

Start With the Full Cost

Purchase price, loan amount, rate, lender fees, closing costs, monthly payment, cash to close, and future selling costs.

Compare Before You Commit

Compare lender quotes, builder lender offers, fees, points, credits, APR, and payment before choosing a lender.

Keep the Process Coordinated

Offer strategy, loan structure, timing, appraisal, cash to close, and closing process all affect each other.

Think Beyond the Purchase

A future 1.5% listing fee when the buyer later sells the home purchased through Prime Home Team, subject to program terms.

Help Sellers Understand Net Proceeds

Estimated home value, selling costs, listing fee opportunities, buyer terms, and possible net proceeds before listing.

Keep Buyer Choice Intact

Buyers may choose any lender. The Prime Buyer Advantage is an option, not a requirement.

This Is Not a Traditional Realtor Model

The Prime Home Team website is intentionally not built around one person’s sales pitch. It is built around a company-level savings platform. This page exists so visitors can understand the person behind the model — but the main value of the website is the Prime Buyer Advantage itself.

Use Prime Home Team and Ultimate Mortgage to compare the full cost of buying, reduce certain lender fees, and create long-term listing fee value through the Prime Buyer Advantage.

How the Broker Owner Model Helps Buyers

Because Ron owns both Prime Home Team and Ultimate Mortgage, the companies can offer a coordinated buyer experience that is difficult for a typical real estate-only website to match.

Ultimate Mortgage does not charge a 1% loan origination fee.

No Lender Processing Fee

Ultimate Mortgage does not charge a lender processing fee.

Personalized Rate Quote

Request a personalized mortgage rate quote without starting with a full mortgage application.

Lender Quote Comparison

Future 1.5% Listing Fee

Coordinated Strategy

Review property search, mortgage cost, offer strategy, and closing process as connected parts of one decision.

How the Broker Owner Model Helps Sellers

The Prime Buyer Advantage also supports seller strategy. Sellers can request a home value review, estimate net proceeds, and ask whether a 1.5% listing fee opportunity may apply.

Home Value Review

A review of what your home may be worth in the current market.

Net Proceeds Awareness

Review estimated selling costs and possible net proceeds before making decisions.

Move-Up Seller Strategy

Sellers also buying their next home through Prime Home Team may qualify for a 1.5% listing fee, subject to terms.

Past Prime Buyer Benefit

Homeowners who previously purchased through Prime Home Team may qualify for the future 1.5% listing fee.

Buy-and-Sell Coordination

Connect the sale of your current home, purchase of the next home, mortgage planning, and rate quote.

The Story Behind the Prime Buyer Advantage

We built this team and created the Prime Buyer Advantage because we believe buyers deserve a better way to compare real estate and mortgage costs. Lenders often hide rates and fees, hoping a buyer gets locked into an application before disclosure. We believe information is power, and that you deserve to make a wise decision when buying a home.

After years of seeing buyers compare homes, lenders, rates, and fees separately, Ron wanted a more efficient way to look at the full picture — reducing certain lender fees, providing clearer mortgage cost comparisons, and creating future listing savings for buyers who later sell their home through Prime Home Team.

The goal is simple: help buyers and sellers make better decisions by understanding the numbers before they commit.

“Prime Home Team was built to help buyers and sellers look at the full financial picture — not just the home price, not just the interest rate, and not just the listing fee.”
