Preferred Lenders Baton Rouge | Southern Homes Team

Financing Made Simple with Our Trusted Lenders

At the Southern Homes Team, we know that a smooth home buying experience starts with the right financing partner. That’s why we’ve built strong relationships with a select group of trusted lenders who share our commitment to excellent service, clear communication, and personalized support.

Our preferred lenders understand the local market, offer a wide range of loan programs, and work hard to find financing solutions tailored to your unique needs. Whether you're a first-time buyer, relocating, or moving up to your dream home, these professionals are ready to guide you every step of the way.

When you work with our recommended lenders, you’ll benefit from:

Fast, Clear Pre-Approvals

Get pre-approved quickly — often same-day — so you know exactly what you can afford. A strong pre-approval gives you negotiating power and helps you act fast when the right home hits the market. Our lenders make this step simple and stress-free.

Direct Communication & Quick Answers

No call centers or vague updates here. Our preferred lenders give you their direct contact info, respond promptly, and keep both you and our team in the loop every step of the way. You’ll always know what’s happening — and what’s next.

Competitive Rates & Smooth Closings

Enjoy access to competitive loan programs and rates — without sacrificing service. These lenders are known for closing on time (or early), with fewer surprises. Their experience ensures your financing stays on track from contract to closing day.
