Prime Home Team helps new construction buyers compare builder incentives, lender costs, mortgage pricing, and Prime Buyer Advantage savings before choosing a home or lender.
Buying new construction can be exciting. Buyers may get to choose a floor plan, lot, finishes, upgrades, and closing timeline. But new construction also creates decisions that can affect the buyer’s total cost.
Before signing a builder contract or choosing a builder’s preferred lender, buyers should compare the full cost of the home, the financing offer, the incentive package, and the long-term value of the purchase.
Ultimate Mortgage does not charge a 1% loan origination fee, which may reduce your upfront lender costs.
Ultimate Mortgage does not charge a lender processing fee, helping reduce costs at closing.
Request a rate quote using key preliminary information — no full mortgage application required to start.
Submit a builder lender quote, incentive sheet, Loan Estimate, or fee worksheet for review.
When you later sell the home purchased through Prime Home Team, we list it for a 1.5% fee, subject to program terms.
A builder incentive may help reduce closing costs or make the purchase feel more affordable. But don’t assume the largest advertised incentive automatically creates the lowest total cost.
The better question isn’t “how much is the builder giving me?” It’s “what is the total cost of this offer compared with my other options?”
If a builder has offered an incentive or lender quote, buyers can submit the documents for review. The more complete the information, the more useful the comparison can be.
Shows rate, payment, loan amount, and estimated costs from the builder’s preferred lender.
A document or email showing the builder credit, closing cost incentive, or financing incentive.
Shows loan terms, projected payments, closing costs, and estimated cash to close.
Issued before a formal Loan Estimate — still useful for an early comparison.
If already signed, helps review price, deposits, timelines, incentives, and builder terms.
No formal document yet? A screenshot or typed summary works too.
Before visiting model homes or selecting upgrades, understand estimated payment, loan type, cash to close, and potential Prime Buyer Advantage savings.

Design selections, inspections, appraisal, loan processing, underwriting, title work, insurance, final walkthrough, and closing.
When you later sell the home you purchased through Prime Home Team, you may qualify for the future 1.5% listing fee, subject to program terms.
Many new construction buyers are encouraged to use the builder’s preferred lender. Before deciding, request a personalized rate quote from Ultimate Mortgage using approximate FICO score, estimated purchase price, income, loan type, down payment percentage, and first-time buyer status.
A requested rate quote is not a loan approval, pre-approval, Loan Estimate, commitment to lend, or guarantee of loan terms. Final terms depend on borrower qualifications, property details, loan program, and underwriting approval.
Look beyond the advertised base price. Final cost may be affected by upgrades, lot premiums, HOA dues, taxes, insurance, lender fees, builder incentives, and closing costs.
The Prime Buyer Advantage may help reduce certain lender costs by removing the 1% loan origination fee and lender processing fee through Ultimate Mortgage.
Examples use an estimated 1% loan origination fee and $600 lender processing fee, plus potential future listing fee savings if you later sell the same home through Prime Home Team.

Buyers can search available homes in El Paso County, including new construction opportunities when available through the MLS search tool.
Builder sales representatives work for the builder. They can be helpful about the community, floor plans, and construction process — but you should still have your own strategy when evaluating the purchase.
Prime Home Team helps buyers look at the new construction purchase from the buyer’s perspective — price, incentives, financing options, timeline, contract terms, resale potential, and long-term selling costs.
Submit a builder lender quote, Loan Estimate, incentive sheet, pre-approval worksheet, or fee worksheet for review against Ultimate Mortgage and the Prime Buyer Advantage. A builder credit can be helpful, but it should be weighed against rate, points, lender fees, and other costs.
Compare the full financing cost before deciding.
Also compare APR, points, lender fees, credits, cash to close, rate lock terms, and monthly payment.
The model home may include upgrades not included in the base price.
Some lots carry additional premiums that change the final purchase price.
Delays may affect rate locks, moving plans, closing costs, and financing.
Compare the builder lender offer early, before you feel locked into one financing path.
The Prime Buyer Advantage helps you think ahead with a future 1.5% listing fee when you sell.
This optional form is for new construction buyers who want help comparing a builder, community, home, or lender offer.
