Don't put off building your dream home due to fluctuating interest rates. With Drees Freeze from First Equity Mortgage, it's possible to lock your interest rate for up to 270 days while you build.

The Drees Freeze extended rate lock program is a benefit available to borrowers purchasing build-to-order Drees homes. When you freeze your interest rate, the rate stays the same from the time of the rate lock until the expiration date (as long as there are no changes to your loan application that would affect your rate). If the market fluctuates and interest rates should drop during your rate lock period, you may float down to a lower rate within 30 days of closing on your new home.

Contact your First Equity Mortgage Loan Officer today to determine if an extended rate lock is the right move for you.
