For most people, financing is one of the most important factors in the purchase of a new home. Because mortgage industry guidelines and loan product offerings change frequently, working with a knowledgeable loan officer backed by a strong, service-first mortgage company is paramount.
At First Texas Homes, we want your homebuying experience to be the best possible, so we’ve teamed up with top mortgage professionals. Whether you’re looking for a straightforward conventional, FHA, VA loan or a specialty product (including Jumbo, ARM, Bank Statement Only, Bridge Loans or NON-QM programs), our preferred lender has the knowledge and resources to tailor a loan to your needs.
When closing your loan with First Texas Homes’ preferred lender, you can rest assured you’re getting competitive products and exceptional service. Don’t be swayed by too-good-to-be-true online offers—choose our preferred lender for your new home financing needs. It’s just smart business.

You’ve written your contract and you’re ready for the next step. Our team can issue a quick pre-qual with minimal documentation and provide an estimate of your monthly payment using the incentives available with our preferred lender. For most borrowers we typically ask for the last 2 months of bank statements, 2 years of tax returns and W-2s, and a soft credit pull (does not impact your score).
If you’re building from a plan, before First Texas Homes starts construction our preferred lender completes a more thorough pre-approval: we review income, debts, and assets to determine your debt-to-income (DTI) and maximum loan amount. Your application runs through Desktop Underwriter (DU) or another Automated Underwriting System (AUS) to issue a conditional approval and list of required conditions. You’ll leave with a clear budget, estimated payment based on today’s interest rates (subject to change), and guidance for design center selections or upgrades.
As your home nears completion—or if you’re purchasing a Quick Move-In home—we finalize your file for full underwriter approval, re-verify income/debts/assets, complete a hard credit pull, and work with you to satisfy final conditions. In many cases, closing can occur in as little as two weeks after receipt of all documents and once the appraisal and homeowner’s insurance are in place.
About three days prior to closing you’ll receive your Initial Closing Disclosure (CD)—an estimate of your final closing costs. Please acknowledge receipt promptly; figures may adjust as the title company balances fees. Before closing you’ll receive the final CD and instructions for your closing costs (typically paid via cashier’s check from your bank). You’ll close at the title company’s office or, in some cases, at your community’s model home with a mobile notary. Your closer will review each document and answer questions. Once complete—keys in hand!
