ECI And FBC Mortgage Integration

Summary: The ECI and FBC Mortgage integration gives homebuilders real-time visibility into buyer loan status directly within ECI systems like Lasso CRM and MarkSystems. By connecting financing updates to sales and construction workflows, builders can reduce delays, spot risks earlier, improve forecasting accuracy, and deliver a smoother buyer experience from pre-approval to closing.

Let’s be honest: building homes is tough work, and the finish line keeps moving. These days, sky-high rates and market ups and downs make closing sales a headache for a lot of builders. As if that’s not enough, the minute a sale gets hung up on financing, the whole job can stall out. You and your crew put in the effort—marketing, finding buyers, building homes that last—then the deal sits in limbo while everybody waits on the bank. The sales team calls, buyers get anxious, and you’re left in the dark until someone finally gives the go-ahead or pulls out at the last minute. It eats up time and money, and nobody wins. 

It shouldn’t be this way. Imagine if the mortgage process wasn’t a maze of maybes and waiting games, but something you could track just like a construction schedule. With ECI’s FBC Mortgage integration, you get exactly that: real, up-to-date visibility that keeps your jobs moving and takes the guessing out of closing. 

The financing disconnect in homebuilding 

It’s no secret that builders and lenders have worked on different islands. Your crews and sales teams are in systems like Lasso CRM or MarkSystems. Lending lives somewhere else entirely. If you want an update on a buyer’s loan, you have to make calls, send emails, and hope someone gets back to you in time. 

What does that mean on the ground? 

• You’re stuck guessing if a deal is on track or heading off the rails; forecasting revenue feels just as unreliable.
• Your team plays middleman shuttling between buyers and banks. That’s time they could be moving deals forward.
• You get blindsided when financing falls through late in the game; lots of wasted hours and headaches.
• Buyers are left out, bouncing between your brand and some bank’s web portal, making the whole process feel clunky. The end result: deals drag, good homes sit empty, and your reputation for a smooth build-to-close experience takes a hit. 

Bringing financing into your workflow 

Here’s the straight talk: builders need a clear window into financing. The ECI homebuilding and FBC Mortgage integration doesn’t just tack on another step; it puts real-time loan status right inside the homebuilding tools you already use. 

No more hunting for details or waiting on lender callbacks. You’ll see where each buyer’s loan stands—starting, submitted, stalled, or signed off—side by side with your project and sales data. 

Picture this: a buyer gets pre-approved, and you know right away. The bank wants more documents, you’re in the loop. If things get rocky, you find out in time to help or move on, not after weeks of radio silence. 

Real-time loan status 

Forget the days of hoping someone checks their inbox. Now, you can spot red flags before they shut down the job. Maybe a buyer’s paperwork is missing; you can nudge them directly. Maybe the loan’s dragging, so you reassign the lot and save precious build time. It’s practical, clear, and right where you need it. 

A better buyer journey 

It doesn’t just make life easier for your team; buyers get a better ride too. Instead of hopping between your company and the lender’s website, they fill out everything under your roof. That keeps them in the loop, helps everyone avoid surprises, and builds trust from the first handshake to the final key handoff. 

Recap: Financing delays don’t just slow closings—they stall jobs, drain time, and create unnecessary risk for builders. With the ECI + FBC Mortgage integration, financing finally works like the rest of your operation: visible, trackable, and actionable. You know where every deal stands, your team stays focused on moving projects forward, and buyers experience a smoother path from contract to keys. Fewer surprises. Fewer stalls. More confident closings.
