More Than a Mortgage: #1 for a Reason

Monday, June 2, 2025

Why the Best Home Buying Experience Comes from the Right Team — and the Right Approach

Buying a home is more than a transaction — it’s a major life moment. And in today’s complex housing market, success depends on more than just finding the perfect property. It’s about navigating financing, securing insurance, understanding title, and coordinating countless moving parts — all with clarity and confidence.

That’s why we’re proud to share that HomeServices of America, parent company of HomeServices Lending, LLC, has once again been ranked #1 in the nation for core real estate services, according to the 2025 RealTrends Verified rankings.

The Power of a Fully-Connected Experience

With over 136,000 completed transactions in 2024 that included mortgage lending, title, homeowners insurance, home warranties, and escrow services, our network led the industry — not just in volume, but in vision.

Why does that matter to buyers? Because it means you can move forward with a lender who understands every facet of the transaction — and knows how to bring all the right experts together at the right time.

And for real estate professionals? It means a more efficient path to the closing table — and a better experience for your clients.

One Home. One Goal. One Unified Team.

Whether you’re purchasing your first home, upgrading for more space, or relocating for a fresh start, the journey should feel coordinated — not chaotic. That’s the heart of the HomeServices Lending promise: a fully connected, fully committed homebuying experience.

We work alongside both our HomeServices affiliates and real estate professionals across the country who share one goal: delivering an exceptional experience for buyers.

We honor those partnerships by offering:

  • Seamless Coordination: When every service speaks the same language, the process flows faster and more smoothly.
  • Flexible Financing Options: Our wide range of loan programs, including proprietary and niche products, helps buyers with unique needs — and gives agents more ways to serve clients.
  • A Focus on the Finish Line: Our goal is your goal: get to closing with confidence.

More Than a Lender — A Trusted Partner

At HomeServices Lending, we believe the best mortgage experience is personal. That’s why we offer programs like:

  • Path to Prosperity® – A suite of lending options designed for today’s diverse buyers, including self-employed individuals, gig workers, first-time homebuyers, and real estate investors.
  • CompetitivEdge – A pre-approval advantage that helps buyers compete with confidence in fast-moving markets, giving agents stronger offers to present.
  • $30K Close On Time Guarantee – Our commitment to reliability: if we miss the closing date, we’ll pay the seller $15,000 and the listing brokerage $15,000.*

We bring together technology, transparency, and a human touch — backed by a legacy of trust that spans decades.

From clear communication to a seamless digital experience, we’re proud to be recognized for what matters most — putting our clients first.
