About Frame home loans

Purpose-Built Home Financing for New Construction Buyers

At Frame Home Loans, we believe financing should be as thoughtfully constructed as the home you're buying. That's why we exist—to give new construction buyers smarter mortgage options that align with how today’s homes are built and sold.

We’re not just another lender. Frame was purpose-built by Builders Capital —the capital engine behind some of the country’s most forward-thinking builders and real estate brands. Backed by deep experience in residential construction and powered by a national lending platform, Frame is uniquely positioned to help you buy new, with confidence.

Tailored Options

A range of loan options to fit your unique financial profile.

Builder Expertise

Close coordination with builders and site agents to keep your purchase on track.

Most mortgages are designed for resale homes. But buying NEW is different—different timelines, different incentives, different expectations. That’s where we come in.

Built for What Buyers Really Need

Our leadership

Backed by Builders. Centered on You.

Our roots are in construction lending, and we know what it takes to bring a new home across the finish line. That means you get a mortgage experience that’s more aligned, more informed, and more supportive—because we’re built to serve buyers like you.

Frame is connected to a network of brands that finance and support the entire residential real estate process—from construction to close. That means we bring more than just loans to the table—we bring insight, scale, and a deep understanding of what makes a new home deal work.
