SARASOTA, Fla. (September 8, 2015) — Today, Neal Communities, the area's largest and most established, locally owned and operated private builder, extends their brand by launching Neal Communities Funding, an in-house mortgage company that will provide financial services with a personal touch.
Neal Communities and Neal Signature Homes, its luxury, semi-custom company, is partnering with Mortgage Funding Direct Ventures, a mortgage management services company with an established reputation of providing strong partnership and mortgage expertise specifically designed for the new construction and purchase transaction landscape.
“The real belief and purpose behind Neal Communities Funding is that it will improve the overall customer experience and streamline the mortgage services process for our customers,” says Michael Storey, president of Neal Communities, who was instrumental in securing the partnership between the two companies. “We aim to enrich our homeowner relationships through quality mortgage services, helping families achieve their dream of homeownership for many years to come. I’ve worked with Mortgage Funding Direct Ventures in the past, and I know they share a passion for personalized customer care just like Neal Communities.”
Neal Communities Funding will assist homeowners from prequalification and formal approval to home closing. Programs that will be offered include conventional, government, jumbo loans as well as programs of particular importance, such as extended interest rate lock options during construction. The highly experienced staff will guide customers through the finance qualification process and documentation requirements of today’s mortgage environment. The integrated mortgage and building processes create alignment and a smooth experience for purchasers.
“We feel this type of personal-touch communication combined with the reputations of both companies and our mortgage expertise establishes Neal Communities Funding as a unique enterprise,” says Tawn Kelley, chairman of Neal Communities Funding. “Our shared vision was founded with customer service at its core. This finance entity is designed to create a one-stop shop that aligns mortgage services and homebuilding in one place for customers of Neal Communities and Neal Signature Homes. Dreams are built through the journey as we lead our clients to their new front door.”
