What Priority Home Mortgage does

Priority Home Mortgage, L.P. is a privately held Texas limited partnership founded in 2001 and headquartered in Austin, TX, operating as a full-service retail mortgage banker across 8 branch locations in 7 states (Texas, Colorado, Arizona, Utah, Oregon, with additional licensing in Indiana, Tennessee, and South Carolina) under NMLS #311939. The company originates a comprehensive product suite including fixed-rate, adjustable-rate, conventional (Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac), jumbo, FHA, VA, USDA, and state-specific programs (Texas Veteran Housing Assistance, Bond Programs, Mortgage Credit Certificates), supplemented by a 165-day extended rate lock with float-down, a Solution Center for credit-challenged borrowers, and Forward Commitments for builders/developers.

The technology stack is built on industry-standard third-party platforms — Encompass Loan Origination System and nCino Banking Platform — augmented by a self-service Borrower Portal for online application and loan tracking, plus credit score simulation tools within the Solution Center. The firm runs in-house underwriting and disburses its own capital to fund loans, meaning it controls the full transaction from application through closing without third-party approval or warehouse-funding delays.

Go-to-market is a hybrid sales-led / direct-to-consumer model: 16 named loan originators across branches drive the majority of originations, supported by REALTOR® and home builder referral partnerships, while the digital portal and online pre-qualification capture self-serve demand. Revenue is generated from origination transaction fees and net interest income on held loans; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based on borrower credit profile and loan parameters. The company targets a diversified retail borrower base spanning first-time buyers, move-up buyers, refinancers, credit-challenged borrowers, and property investors, with no disclosed institutional or wholesale customers.
