Matt Wolf, VP of Financial Services at DRB Group, noted that the decision followed rigorous reference checks across the builder community. Unlike standard industry models, the partnership is designed to mirror the specific operational rhythms of DRB Group. Andrina Valdes, CEO of Alta Home Lending, emphasized that the collaboration prioritizes builder-specific needs, ranging from incentive costs to forward commitments.

The venture is spearheaded by Valdes and Executive Director of Strategic Partnerships Michelle Gonzales, both of whom have extensive backgrounds in launching mortgage platforms for top-tier builders. Gonzales pointed to a growing trend among construction firms seeking more transparent, execution-focused partners to improve sales support and capture a larger share of buyers in a challenging market. With this expansion, Alta Home Lending continues to scale its platform, which currently serves homebuyers across 21 states.
